Geckos are totally cool! They are not interested in interacting with humans but they are very interested in finding any bugs in your house and scarfing them down. They are quite common in the tropics and usually considered good luck. I would just let him hang out at your place it he wants to.

Leave it be. Geckos are nice to have around and they're cute. They will try to keep away from you - they are very shy creatures.
They don't bite or crawl over you face whilst your sleep or anything gross like that, so don't worry about them.
They just hang out and take care of some of the bugs around your house for you.
They may leave tiny poop droppings now and again, but this aren't a problem as they are dry and vacuum /wipe up easy.
If you try to catch it, chances are you won't be fast enough. If you corner it, it will cut off its own tail in fear and leave it squirming around for you to eat. Now that is gross and I sure its not pleasant for the Gecko either, so give it a break and leave it alone.

Leave it alone. He'll eat any bugs in your house. I'ts probably not a gecko though. More than likely it's an anole. They are just as cool though.

you spelled gecko 3 different ways and they were all wrong lol unless you were trying to spell Gieco(car insurance company) either way you spelled it wrong.
Anyways, don't do anything, he'll eat bugs and stuff around your house. =)
