How long would it take you to be comfortable enough in a relationship to decide to move-in together? Realizing all relationships are different, what would be your needed (average) length of time to feel secure enough in your relationship to take that next step? Feel free to post explanations/stories to explain your views.
Well I agree that it would just be when the time is "right." But if I were to put a number on it, the minimum amount of time would have to be at least a few years. Like 2 or 3. Moving in together shouldn't be taken lightly in my opinion, so I'd have to be fairly sure that it's what both of us really want.
Ok so not wanting to be predictable - when it feels right. BUT I will speak about an experience of mine.
I had been friends with a guy for 4 years (best friends) and on the day he moved in to his new house we realized we were madly in love with one another and I moved in that day. ((We're not together anymore but that's only because he died, not because it didn't work out).
However, if I were in a relationship and were looking ahead then I would say that I would have reservations about moving in with someone too soon. I reckon at least 18 months of being in a serious relationship is the time when I would seriously consider moving in. Obviously with the exception of my prev. experience.
Ok so in one year I'm suppose to move in with my Boyfriend. We would be together 16 months. Do you think we are too early in our relationship to move...
