Moving in with anyone that ins't immediate family is actually a big deal that take a LOT of trust of trust commitment. Even living with best friends can be an emotional roller-coaster, or a highway to Hell. You;ll never truly know someone until you've tried living with them.
So, YES, he's very serious about you.
Ignore that one anon dude who thinks that this is just about money, because he's obliviously never had to evict a roommate that stopped paying. Once someone is on the lease, they can get away with living rent free for at least 6 weeks minimum. The process alone takes 30 days, and that's after having to wait on the filing to go through before you can even start, which can take up to 30 days alone.
Whether or not he is serious depends on many things. He might hate being alone, you might be handy for washing, ironing, housework, cooking, it might be that he wants more sex and more regular sex, do not assume that moving in with you means he loves you or he will be faithful. A lot of the women who come to me for relationship insight and predictions are living with their boyfriends, yet their boyfriends disappear on them, cheat on them, lie to them, mess them around, they just want her to be there at their beck and call or because she is useful. Only YOU know if your boyfriend loves you or not.
You better be prepared for this cause he basically wants you in his life and wants you as his wife. Anyone and everyone knows ( or at least I think they do) that when you start living with with your partner its pretty serious now. Cause only people that are married sleep and live with each other. Married or not. Its looked at as a serious relationship
Maybe yes. Maybe no. Things could be serious which would be great for you both to be able to share space together. I’m not saying this is your case, but I’ve seen girls get used because the guy just needed a place to stay. Only you can judge the status of your relationship
Hopefully it does mean he is serious and wants to take your relationship to the next level. But there can be many reasons to move in together. It could be that he likes the company and doesn’t want to be alone. Or maybe the sex is amazing and he wants it all the time. It could be to cut down on costs and for you two to share the bills. Maybe he just wants to be with you and doesn’t see an end to the relationship but has no desire to get married. The best thing to do would be to ask why he wants you to move in and see if you like his response. You’ll know if it’s genuine or not. I hope you get the response you want and everything works out.
some people use the "Move together thing" as a test rather than wanting to spend more time with you. and there's also practical people who really just need help with overall bills. but it does mean that he likes you enough to be around you constantly. rejoice.

This is a stupid question. Why else live with someone you’ve been with for two years? I think you’re attention seeking.
It's a potential Start from His Heart. xxoo
It generally means he is serious about you.
Not necessarily. Just look at his actions. Will you guys be splitting bills, if so that may be the reason. He could need help with bills. If you guys are not splitting bills and he's looking to take care of you, I don't know he may be serious. It's not like he's ask for your hand in marriage. If you move in, and live as being married without the actual marriage, he probably won't or will take a really long time. Just weigh your options throughly and think about what you'd do in your worst care scenarios.
If he needed her to just split the bills he could get a roommate and not give up his personal space doing it. And if he does have her split the bills doesn't mean he's not serious about his love for her. A man doesn't have to financially take care of you to prove his love. You take care of each other.
This is my opinion not a debate. I will say, It's much easier to get your girl to move in than to get a roommate who isn't your girl. Also that is not all I said. It's many factors to look at. I think it could mean he wants to be serious but I also don't necessarily think that. Some guys will outright tell you some won't. Some will let you move in but still be going to the next woman's house to have sex. Don't try to come for me..
But telling her that he may be serious if he doesn't make her split the bill and takes care of her is bad advise. Why not say if he makes you split the bill but yet takes care of you then he may be serious. The way you put it makes it sound like him financially taking care of her is more likely that he's serious. And there's a reason why there are reply buttons. You may not like what I said but I want to make sure this girl doesn't throw her relationship down the toilet because he ask her to help with bills. And it's not hard to find a roomate. Plus you say it's not a debate yet you debated my reply. So clearly it is. But thanks for clearing it up.
To the original poster. My advice is not bad advice because it is different from others. It is practical and reasonable. I don't recall telling you to throw your relationship away. Just to clarify I don't want you to or think you should do that. I do think that you should not take him as wanting to move in together as a sign he is serious, necessarily. The fact of the matter is that I don't know him or you. It could mean that depending on his personality. There are plenty of factors to consider. I suggest you weigh them all and do what is best for you. I wish you the best.
Not exactly. I know many guys who would want to move in with any girl they find hot if it's convienent for them. Doesn't mean the guy sees that girl as their future wife or as the person of their dreams. My boyfriend liked the idea of us moving in together but he tole me a month later he didn't love me anymore. We still stayed together and he still liked the idea of us moving in together. He was going through trust issues because of his parents divorce that had just happened. But he told me he didn't see me as the one. Yea I don't know why I stayed with him. But I wouldn't move in with someone unless we are married. Even my professer told me she would not want her son moving in with a girl because it's hard to live with someone. Studies showed that guys were more open to that idea than girls for some reason.
Not serious unless you he proposes.
Moving in means he just wants to use you for sex as often as he can.
I don't know if you have a goal of being serious, but he'll come to see you as a leisure thing rather than a soul mate if you let things happen that way.
As the saying goes, "No man buys the cow if he can get the milk for free."
Yes. It's a step couples eventually take when they are serious about each other. He obviously sees a future for you both , and wants to build a life together long-term
Unless you make good money and he could gain something other than love with you living with him. I'd say most of the time a guy is serious when he gives up his freedom and personal space to share it with a woman.
It means he wants you to live with him. But if you want to be married with children, then I suggest that you set a time limit on this. One year and either he is willing to marry you or it's time to move on.
So you don't think being together for two years means he's serious? I hate pointing out obvious, you're together for two years and now he wants to live together... You really have to ask a bunch if strangers about this?
I wouldn't want to live with someone I don't want to see often. That's just torture then and too much awkwardness. I would only offer to live with someone I want to see often.
Not necessarily but it also depends on the context of the situation. Maybe he is or maybe he needs help affording the cost of living and you’re the perfect candidate to live with. The economy these days is brutal.
Yes, thats usually a serious step within a relationship.
Yes that's a huge commitment. Of course it means he's serious.
In my opinion it's just a good sign. It doesn't mean he's totally serious but he's definitely getting there. Just be glad that most likely he ain't cheating or seeing someone behind your back.
If someone isn't being serious by almost 2 years then what's the point of even seeing them still? Yes, I think he is serious.
I have no idea how he thinks, or what the situation is. But 2 years is about right anyway. So long as you are a team. If he wants to watch football and have you make the nachos and yells, "Get me a beer," you may want to reconsider. But I get the sense that you are having doubts about the authenticity of his feelings for you. This requires psychology. Too many people just settle for anything, just to avoid being lonely. Codependency is a good term to check out.
Don't move in permanently, until you've done sort of a trial run first.. take some of your things with you, like your bathroom stuff, and spend some days over. If you like how he is in the morning and all that, then you can start talking about moving in permanently
It means he wants to make it easier to have sex with you.
Yes, it means he's really serious about you and wants to try to live together. Moving in together is one way to take a relationship to a new level.
Moving together and this way sharing all of your private life with eachother is a huge step. It's quite obvious that he's serious.
Yes he does. Basically he wants to take it to the next level.
However how do you feel about it?
Are you excited? Scared? Nervous?
Or simply not ready?
The choice is yours so don't stress it
Girl, he's asking you to live with him.
You and him, together, under one roof, with access to each other's things and stuff.
So yeah, he's trusts you and yeah, it's pretty serious.
:)
After 2 years yes he really sees it lasting if it was 2 months it would be red flag but 2 years is good
Sounds like a big next step. You two would be sharing more than just food and drinks and random small things after that, because it'll be everything now
Well duh. There’s no other way to look at it than he is serious about you.
It depends on what kind of attitude and personality does that guy have
Maybe have 2 take chances on love
Because if a guy wants a girl in there life 24/7 it meen he likes you
Almost certainly, but not quite 100%. It’s possible he’s asking to get a stronger idea of just how serious he feels, but the chances are insanely thin.
Usually, yes. It’s not a guarantee that you’ll get married but it’s an important step.
I would do that when I can't pay the rent for the big apartment and at the same time in need of a maid.
No, my ex wanted me to move in together, but only because he wanted to live in a bigger apartment and wanted to split the costs. It means nothing.
Probably! This is a sign that he wants to be with you 24/7!!
Unless he’s desperate to find a new Roomate then yes he’s serious about you.
Dont do it. The end of your relationship is near. Ibwish someone wouldve told me that being able to cate for yourself ( such as living ALONE) being independant were invaluble. You'll learn so much about yourself no one person could everr teach u.
Choosing to have a partner move in is a big step and something no one takes lightly especially if they aren't serious about you
He’s serious but not necessarily marriage serious if that’s what you’re asking
Not at all! I always ask strange women I'm not interested in to move into my house where I keep all my valuable items
That's a horrible piece of advice. Practice sarcasm with people who like you.
@JoeStaysCool Oh really?
So I get a girl Im not interested in to live with me, share all my stuff with, share my bills with, make it hell to break apart and its not a serious relationship? What the fuck
It depends on the guy. For some, it is a big step. For others, it's just for convenience.
If you've been together for 2 years that already means he's pretty serious about you.
Unless he's struggling to pay bills or thinks it's the best financial decision, it means he would not object to the idea of waking up next to you every morning or seeing you more often than he already does
It's either he wants to have you by his side more often, or sex.
He is serious, it means he is willing to volunteer with his own hard earned money.
no. he is only moving in and doing all that paperwork for shits and giggles. The entire relationship is actually one big prank obviously
If he is able to support a household and not looking for you to support him. I think he is getting serious about you.
Most liely he is or he would never have asked you to move in.
Its a forward move, it isn't the definitive one, but its an important one
It can be that he's serious with you since you've been together for 2 years
Hell yeah! You have to learn shit about someone that THEY don't even know before you can even consider moving in.
Just asking you to move in with him doesn't mean he is serious, it could even be that he wants to spend more time with you for now.
You are the best person to judge what kind of connect you both share
I personally wouldn’t ask someone to move in with me if I wasn’t serious.
Most guys are looking for a great time with you and that means a lot of sex at first then could slow down and whatever you want to happen remember most men are dogs.
It means he needs a new roommate to split the rent with.
I mean, unless it's to split the bill, then yes. Yes it does.
A man's house is his castle. To share it with you means he means business. Next step, ring!
U would thing
I agree, because I would not want to live with someone who I think will mess up my life. I want someone who I want a life with together, to live with me, so I infer that how most people think as well, regardless of gender.
that's*
you should know if he serious or not 2years long time to know your b f
Naw he's having you move in to break up with you. The hassle is the cherry on top
Thanks lol
He's being economical. If he was serious, he'd "put a ring on that finger".
i fully agree
Have to say so... unless he dont clean or cool, then he might just want that
He just want somebody to pay half the rent and utilities
