I have an honest question to ask and I need honest answers and advise. I have my house on the market and I have potential buyers who are seriously looking into buying my home. However I want to wait until I sell my current home and close on it with the potential buyers before I start looking for a new place. I have looked at a couple of new houses bug again want to close on my current one. The I would start looking for a new place. The dilemma that I have is when I will finally sell my home and look for a new place I am thinking of and my folks would like it if I moved back temporarily with them until I find a new house that I would like. I am well aware that it can take a little time for finding a new home. However I am 40 years old and single and in the dating mode. Let's say I meet a nice woman or in the process of meeting a woman and I tell her that I am in between looking for a new house and I am living back at home with my parents temporarily. Is that going to raise a red flag for the woman or will no woman like that? I mean I have a good job and my parents would still treat me as an adult and not interfere in my social or dating life. Please help with your comments. I have dated in the past but just haven't found the right woman yet. I still want to get married and have a family. Plus I am 40 years old.
You make it sound like finding a new house is going to take years.
My suggestion is put dating mode on hold or rack up points at some hotel chain.
Well I know finding a new place will not take years but kit can take a few months. The weekends are best time for me to look because I work during the week. Imani I want to find something that fits my price well and the house and area that it is in.
I would not date you if you said you lived with your parents. If you are most interested in dating, then get an apartment.
If you can wait, then by all means, move in with the folks.
How come the reason? My folks aren't interfering in my social life. As I said they would like it if I moved back temporarily. I am not a freeloader. I help my folks out even with living in my own home. It is only temporarily until I would find a new place. I have a car I can go places. All I need is a place to sleep. I am at work during the day.
OP, your question is highly theoretical. What are the chances that you'll meet a woman who 1) you're interested in, and 2) reciprocates your interests, during the 6-month to 1-yr. window (roughly) during which you'll be living with your parents? And if it's just a temporary thing while you house-hunt, why would anyone care? Why are you so worried about this? This is a non-issue.

I am just asking. I am just living temporarily. My folks treat me as an adult I would contribute to the expenses to their house while I am there. I just want the woman to like me for who I am and not bail out on me the moment she finds out that I moved back home temporarily while I house hunt

Why would she do that? Why is it even crossing your mind? Did you think that all women have a rule that any guy approaching or in middle-age who's living with his parents for any reason, whether short-term or long-term, is not to be dated or spoken to? Of course that's ridiculous. Also, unless you're really good-looking and attract women's interest easily, the chances are the situation wouldn't even arise. How often do you meet a woman who's qualities and appearance catch your interest enough for you to want to date her? And of those (I assume) relatively rare instances, how many of the women reciprocate your interest?
It's unlikely that the needle in the haystack will be found during the months you're living with your parents. And on the off chance the needle is found during that time, she probably won't care that you're temporarily at your parents' place. This is much ado about nothing.
In short: you're overthinking/overworrying.
