In your opinion, how long would you have to know someone before you consider moving in with them?

It depends on a lot of factors, I don't really have a set timeframe. I would let someone move in with me earlier than I would move in with them, because the one moving in is the one taking the risk and uprooting their life to set up shop elsewhere. I'd want to stay over with them or vice versa a couple times to get a glimpse of what living with them would be like, and aside from that, it would really just depend on how serious we are. Personally I would love to live together early on in the relationship. I totally get that most women wouldn't really be comfortable with that and wouldn't want to move so quickly, but I'd be all for it if she was.

[AviatorTom]

Depends. Could be after the 3rd or 4th date, or could take a year or more. The interesting thing about human relationships is that they are all different, and trying to put a timeline on them usually fails.

The real answer to thus question is when both want to move in together, whenever that is.

[Singing_Hollow]

Its different for everyone. However i wouldn't say before the 1 year mark. You need to get to know the person and take your time. Most people dont show true colors before the 1 year mark.

@katelynbrown123

At least twelve months, during which time you live together for the occasional weekends, and perhaps a couple of weeks together for holidays etc.

[EmmaMary]

Thank you for the MHO.

[AI Opinion]

Ah, the big leap of cohabitation! The timeline totally depends on the depth of your connection and understanding of each other's quirks, habits, and lifestyles. Usually, I'd suggest a magic number of knowing each other thoroughly for at least a year. This gives you both enough time to witness each other's seasons — the good, the bad, and the messy morning routines. Plus, it's a sweet spot for recognizing red flags or totally falling head over heels. Remember, lovebombing the decision won't do any good; it's all about that genuine connection! Just think of it as a long, flirty dance where you're both figuring out if you can keep in step when living under one roof. 🏡💃🕺

[itsclearlynicholas]

Hmm. if it's who I'm thinking of, not very long at all, unless I and her *wanted to* draw it out for a while aka "take it gradual" Or, I could say pretty quickly. Or even, not at all. Lol. Not at all. Lol. aka friends with benefits hahahahahaha ,😁🥳😁

[bowenw]

It's difficult to put a set time on something like that. If you see each other once a month, it may take years before you know them well enough. I suggest really getting to know someone very well for a year if possible including going on trips together where you spend time in a hotel, like a week.

[Mariena_Anne92]

No idea but i have my own space. So im not moving in. Also before letting anyone moving in with me, I have to think of everything trough. But I guess it’s better not to stay together maybe.

[BarryLiverstone]

You are right

[petitedollbabee]

Depends on the person, our connection and how much time we already spend with each other. My partner & I started living together 9 months into our relationship.

[Nikki1989]

It depends on how often you see each other. If you are spending entire weekends together, you are already halfway there.

[sheikalana]

At least a year. But I would only move with someone if we had the intention to get married not because is convenient. That's what me and my Husband did.

[DishLady]

Probably a year at the very least. It takes time to learn what another person’s habits are… what’s the rush?

[dustybiker2]

Long enough to know what annoys me about them. Then it's weighing if I can tolerate those annoyances or not.

[sirderpsalot123]

You think you could tolerate living in a tree house with me? Lol

[dustybiker2]

I've known you long enough. And even your girlfriend wouldn't handle the jar. You might survive.

[dustybiker2]

And it would be a tree mansion. Lots of space. 🌳🌲🌲🌳

[Chazmatazz269]

There’s no way. US states have ramped up “palimony” as marriage rates continue to trend downward.

[jahaims]

It's about time spent together not length of time you know them. You can know someone for 20 years and only see them ten times or you can know someone for 6 months and see them 100 times.

[lilBigPotato]

Really depends on the feeling and how things go.. But at the very least a few months

[soe11]

• Depending upon person to person.
• Normally six months to a year.
• Some occasion less then six months.

[DJB72]

Just long enough to get married. I wouldn't live with someone I wasn't married to already again.

[CriticalCatDad123]

You should not live with your significant other before marriage

[CriticalCatDad123]

Here’s why you shouldn’t live with your significant other before marriage - https://youtu.be/J4_d7nENMFM?si=bNoCJQwTiM150fzm

[Iron_Man]

Well, that logic is completely out the window for me because I’ve got to get a roommate and I know nothing about them me advertising online

[handsomelad70]

Quite a while, as I'd want to know a lot about the person (and hopefully vise versa) before I'd want to share living quarteres with them.

[Overandunder89]

Long enough to marry them. Marriage is an absolute prerequisite to sharing the same living space.

[Dongie]

Of course there are many variables but I'd say 6 months give or take a few weeks.

[Fuentes]

Long enough to know their not dirty and responsible.

[debtfree_oneyear]

never had a girlfriend so I can't really answer that

[dolemite58]

I wouldn’t move in with a girlfriend but if u we’re to probably at least a year.

[Zoi2001]

1-2 years. Trial run when you stay at one or the others place.

[Apple1996]

1-2 years

[ThaMaskedMarvel]

10 to 15 years. 8 if I was in a hurry.

[exitseven]

Maybe a couple of months

[BarryLiverstone]

I have a house, so wouldn’t move into theirs

[boobliker]

2 days to 6 months it down to how you get on?

[TonyMetal___86]

No moving in before marriage...

[bannacookies]

A year or more.

[Charliefretz329]

At this point in my life? Roughly 30-40 years

[moneymagnet24]

If sex is good then in a day 🙃

[Adogdog]

A couple years at least.

[avery58]

Around a year

[jjj101010]
