Perhaps, you will still be together a year from now or perhaps not, but at least you are not rushing into something.

PS. My husband and I really, really liked all of our daughter's boyfriends but we would have been extremely angry with her and would have completely cut her off financially (no co-signing her student loans, no paying for car insurance on our family policy, no keeping her on our family cell phone plan, etc.) if she decided to live with a BF at age 19 (or 20 or 22 or until she had graduated and was totally self-supporting or married).

So I hope that you are not just "assuming" that her parents would be happy about their daughter living with her BF when she is in college, even if they "like" him. A lot (not all, but a lot) of parents do not want their young adult daughters living with BFs (for the reasons that people listed earlier in this thread).
Think it would be a good idea to ask her parents if its ok that I move in with her?

No i dont think that would be a good idea. I would not be ok with that unless you were married.

You already know what their answer will be and the reaction to that question, I just think you enjoy giving them grief over this young lady since they don't approve of her. And its like you are rubbing it in their face every chance you get. You brought your girlfriend into the picture by bringing her home for a week. Your parents didn't necessary have to know anything about her this early on in your relationship with her, you didn't have to be bringing her up at all around them. That part of your social life you could have kept to yourself until you know how things are going to work out, but too late for that now.

He meant her parents. In that case the answer is a definite no. She can speak for herself.

Your GF needs to discuss it with her parents.

Frankly, if a boyfriend of our daughter asked us directly for permission to move in with her I suspect that for the first time in his 62 years my husband would probably punch someone (the boy) in the nose!

Do you think that it would it be appropriate your GF to say to your parents "Mr. and Mrs. Smith, your son is a real sex manic in bed and I want to have him available to me at all times of the day & night, so is it OK if we move in together?" (that is exactly what her parents would "hear" if you asked them the question).

You must be pretty naïve to even think that asking her parents to move in together (openly have sex with their daughter) is in any way appropriate. It is because of questions like this that posters are trying to tell you that you don't have enough life experiences to understand that this relationship is (95% probability) infatuation and not love.

Yes! Do it!

Then you will have a tiny clue of what your GF is experiencing with your parents. LOL

Grow up, kid. Focus on school. You have no idea what you're doing. And that's ok.

Jesus Christ, if I stop and think about the boys I was "in loooooooove" with in college, and what my life would be like if I was still with any one of them today ....

Your parents gave their adult son permission to visit his girlfriend. That's really wonderful.

Since the two of you are "in love" be sure to tell her parents that you insist on sleeping in the same bed while you are visiting.

Obviously, I am joking.

Please don't ask to sleep in the same bedroom. I hope that everything works out well and you have fun during your visit.

I wonder if her parents will swear all the time?
