There seems to be some expectation that for couples we have to live together after only six months of dating. I honestly feel like that is too soon for anybody in a relationship but I also feel like it depends on how the relationship is going. If you are very happy together, you have had few bumps in the road so far and you feel like you are on cloud nine with this person every time you are together then yes go for it. But if you are fighting all the time and you just don’t know if you will get along in a small living space and be able to make things work and you question what your future is like with that person...then wait. Like wasting your time and money on an expense that you are not 100% sure of is just not worth it (in my eyes anyway). 

The other day D said that the average for people to move in together is six months and when he said that it just blew my mind. I don’t think it’s a good idea until you are in that zone of being 100% sure that it is worth the time and effort. Not only that but it is a HUGE step in a relationship. Your seeing each other all the time, your constantly around one another, you have to share every little thing with them, work around schedules, and so on. Everything is a network once you move in and it all has to be done together. 

I honestly don’t know about moving in with someone else. I’m so used to my own space and I am so used to being able to control what I do and don’t do that for me to give up that is something that I don’t really feel I am ready for. It's great to be with someone, it’s great to love and be loved in return, and it’s great to start looking at a real future with someone but, only if you’re sure. It’s a commitment and I don’t think people really see it all the way through when they make these commitments. 

What are your thoughts on moving in with someone after only six months of dating?
