I just started dating this guy about 3 months ago we've only been official for about 4 weeks. He's 27 I'm 24. We met at work. I have really been falling for this guy. I've been through a lot in my life and I didn't believe in love until I met for him...and trust me I've made him work for it.

I just graduated college and currently live at home. He lives at his moms place but she lives with her boyfriend (he pays her rent). Her house is up for sale so he's been looking for apartments. Last night we were sitting on the couch while he scoured the internet looking for places. The whole time he kept asking me if I could see myself living with him. I kind of dodged the question with witty remarks, but now I find myself seriously considering it. I NEVER rush into things. Always have a back up plan. Am a straight glass half empty/ everyone's out to get me type girl but I'm noticing Ive begun to change my tune with this guy.

Is it too early in the relationship to truly gauge whether or not this would actually work out? Should I take the plunge for once?
Any advice would be great

Don't move in with him, it is way too soon. Tell him you dont plan on moving in til much later (ie. considering marriage). People that move in to their new boyfriends all the time tend to end up being divorced due to their casual attitude towards relationships.

I know im pretty conservative when it comes to moving in, but believe me, its better you didnt. Alot of things change when you move in together and youve only been official fo 4 weeks? come on. I think his attitude may be somehow because of his mom. You mentioned how his mom moved in with his boyfriend and gets free rent. He must think its normal to move in with your boyfriend with no qualms.

OTOH, at your age, you don't have much to lose, and have alot to fall back on.

I vote "do it"... otherwise, you'll always wonder about what could've been.

^Its not like if you dont move in now your never gonna get another chance? wtf. You should wait til later its only been a few weeks id say at least 6 months before you even consider it. How can u claim to know somehow in 3 months sheesh. I only felt i knew my girlfriend very well after about a year of dating.

His last relationship lasted for 6 years. My last relationship lasted 4 years. Neither of us would even consider moving in with the people we last dated. I think it says something that we would even consider it.
I'm not saying we would move in together tomorrow the question was more about the idea of moving in. That he would ask me at this point in the relationship.

^ Just to clarify neither of us wants to ever get married or have children. So this is not a fast track to anything more than moving in together.
