My immediate response is...wait. After dating only three months, compounded with possible money issues arising- I'm concerned that this is a receipe for disaster. I know you'll be dating a little longer when you finally move in, but...I'm just concerned.

What I might suggest is...finding a cheap place that you could rent for awhile, and start staying nights with him. Keep extending that, and see how things go. That way, you can ease in. You will share some expenses with him then, see how you two can handle smaller money issues before jumping in. I currently live with my boyfriend, we don't generally have money problems...and we still fight about it. BLAH.

I could care if people are married before they move in. Instead, my pre-requisite is havinga strong basis for a relationship.

I agree. Three months seems VERY early to know that you want to be moving in with someone. I would try taking it slow and having sleepovers before jumping into such a big decision. Staying in a house costs money, and renting an apartment usually puts you in a bind on a lease for a full year. If things didn't end up working out, it could be disaster.

However, if you have faith in your relationship and things continue to go well over time I'd definitely think about moving in. Just don't take it too fast.

I have been living with my boyfriend for about a year and a half now and it's wonderful, but I know that if we didn't have a stable relationship before we moved in and a long time to get to know each other, we may not have worked out as well. There were plenty of other guys at 3 months where I thought to myself "oh I could live with him! I could marry him one day!" but once 6-7-8 months hit, I realized they weren't for me.

Just take it slow, and good luck! It can be a wonderful thing if it's played out right.

Thank you so much for your replies. My boyfriend and I were talking over the weekend, and we decided that he is just going to rent his house out so he can save his money. In a few months if we still want to move in together, then we might get a small apartment. We have had many sleepovers, and have taken small weekend trips together. We have talked about marriage, and we feel that we are right for each other. I do want to take things a little slower, I feel that moving in together right now is kind of rushing it.

moving in right now is DEFINITELY too soon..i though I knew my boyfriend after dating 6months but no way..we were both still figuring out what makes each other tick....we've been together for just over 2 years now and I'm comfortable with saying we know each other pretty darn well now lol..stupid small things that we'd get in fights over earlier in the relationship I know how to prevent because I know how far I can push without REALLY setting him off haha and vice versa but I will say that even at 2 years and with him requesting me to move in with him..i still wont...i just think thats a step to take after marriage...he'll come over and sleep at my house some(but sleep in a seperate room) and my parents dont mind but then again that only got started because for 8 months of our relationship i was away at college and when i came home he stayed with us so I saw everyone haha..anyway...you may think you know him at 3 months but moving in that soon is definitely rushing things and a rushed relationship I think will go downhill fast...good luck to you and hopefully you two will be able to talk about this a few months down the road
