Hi, In my opinion it is to soon for you to be dating anyone seriously.

If you've just started dating him, then it's too soon to move in together. I would be saying this even if you didn't feel like he was just trying to freeload off of you, but it's especially true if that's the sense you get. There's a good chance it won't work out, and then you may have a hard time getting rid of him. If he is really interested in being with you, and not just getting a free ride, he should have no problem with waiting and seeing how things go first. I would suggest giving the relationship at least a year before you move in with anybody. Good luck.

There are several companies that use at home employees.

Here are a few:

Shop at Home (could not find their career link, but they do use at home employees)

Jewelry Television (but could not find the career link)

I work 2 "at home" jobs for a total of 88 hours a week. One is just answering the phone and transferring the information to a database. It is a 12 hour shift, but the company phone is a cell and I do not have to be tied to the PC. It pays on a per call type basis. I have been working for this company for 18 months. The other is a 4 hour shift and I do have to be tied to the PC, same as the other one, I take calls and enter the information into a database. This one pays $7 an hour.

I just applied for another at home job that pays $9.50 an hour, full time 40 hours a week.

When you visit the web sites look for the word "Telecommute".

You can check any major company for work at home jobs. Go straight to the company web site, don't bother answering ads on line for work at home as most are just scams. Remember any position that requires you to pay them up front first is a scam.

I was required to buy a headset for the job that pays $7 an hour as the calls come into the computer. I am also required to have high speed internet access for both positions.

I agree with the others... it's way too soon to be moving in together! Not only is this a very new relationship, but you've only been divorced for a couple months... maybe

OK, I agree w/ everyone else that someone you have just started dating is too early to move in (bad grammar there). does this guy have a job? What is his current living situation? Why does he want to move in w/ you so soon? Is it that he's madly in love w/ you or is he being evicted for non payment of rent? I guess the way to decide if he's a freeloader is to tell him how much you would expect him to pay for his share of expenses and see how he reacts, but I also think it's a bad idea.

I agree that relationships can be challenging. In fact, I’ve tried pretty much everything. Now my friend, psychologist Dr. Alexander, showed me what’s been missing. I was looking at the wrong type for me. If you go on Dr. Alexander’s new site, www.loveTypes.com, and take the quiz, you’ll find the type that’s best for you.
