How soon is too soon to move in with somebody (dating, girlfriend)

[DavieJ89]

If you're dating your SO, and things have been going really well, how soon is too soon to move in with them?

Ever.

If it's the same girl from this thread-- I think I Want Out of this Relationship --it's too soon.

Like our friend from the other thread who got taken for a ride in Thailand, Davie's got the tendency to look at any scrap of attention from a woman as twoo wuv. If you're acting fast because you're afraid of losing her, don't. Twoo wuv can and will wait.

It's different for everybody, my bf and I have lived together for about 4.5 years (we've been dating for 5 total) so it may work out, I don't suggest moving in with someone as early as I did but thankfully it has worked out in my favor. Odds are against couples who live together before marriage but there are a small amount of lucky couples who will stay together for the long haul.

If you're still questioning and asking strangers, it's too soon.

That being said, some things you have to actually do before you find out if it was a good idea or not...so there you go. There's no guarantee that letting x amount of time pass before you move in is going to make it work out.

Stan4 speaks truth. I know at one point I felt "sure" and was interested in moving in with an old girlfriend; she refused. Time passed and we continued dating, and prior to my deployment to the desert, she was practically desperate to close out my apartment, move me in with her (in her new house), and take over my finances for "my convenience".

Would have been the worst move I could have EVER made! I would have come home penniless to a house someone else owned but I'd paid a hefty amount for, possibly even finding all my stuff sold!

There's just no way of knowing FOR CERTAIN unless you do it and either it works out OR it fails.

I actually wrote a paper favoring cohabitation if you would like to read it I can post it lol. I got an "A" on the paper as well

You should probably wait until you're at least legal. Just sayin'.

2010 rules --bed 1st -know them later =don't move in

There are no rules. No one can predict for you whether or not your relationship will suffer or flourish under one roof.
