Okay, what's in the water with all these people shacking up after only 1-3 months of dating?
I hope to God that these relationships work out, but I have to play wet blanket & ask this question to the 2 ladies moving in with the guys so quickly...
What's the big hurry?
Hi TravKitty! My answer is that I want to be with him that much....be next to him in the morning and going to bed at night. Also (an aside), he lives too far away. About 40-45 mins. So, living together is the answer. I really want it to work out.

P.S. Don't mean to interject into your thread, Jodie, but TravKitty asked the question. :)

Ok, that's cool. I'm just coming from this from the perspective of someone who moved in with someone, myself, after only a couple months of dating, & it turned out to be a HUGE mistake. That's not saying that it can't work, as there are exceptions to every scenario imaginable.
So, who is moving into whose home, or are you finding a place in the middle of the 40-45 minutes that is neutral? I'm just skittish of a woman dropping her own home & life to move in with a guy. Then, if it doesn't work out, you have to find a new place all over again while he still gets his place.
I'm just preaching the benefits of covering your own arse when you move in with someone so quickly, just in case.
Been there, done that, used to market the shirts. LOL!
I think (hope) these women understand the risk they are taking by shacking up this early. As long as you understand that it is a risk and that you are ready to take responsibility for the consequences if it turns out to be a wrong decision, then go for it. This is coming from a person who doesn't take many risks in life (except for the one I made public on this board). You open yourself up to the possibility of a whole lot of hurt, but if it turns out to be the right thing, then the results can be wonderful.
My fear of moving in too soon comes from the fact that when you live with someone the mystique of your new love quickly dissipates. This is inevitable anyway in a long term relationship, but I like to enjoy the new, romantic phase of a relationship for as long as possible. So he'll be less discreet about burping and farting in front of you, your little annoying habits will make their appearance, and the exhilaration of missing and anticipating seeing each other will wane. But maybe it says something about your maturity and my lack of maturity in willing to deal with the day to day realities of living with your boyfriend.
Best of luck to you. I hope this move turns out to be the right thing for both of you.
