Is dating for a year and a few months long enough to move with him? Both going to be 19 by the time he wants to move

Question

Answer

Best advise I had ever heard regarding moving in with your boyfriend/girlfriend/whoever - remain financially single. Never go above means personally, just incase.

Answer

My boyfriend and I got our own place when we had been together for 9 months. We are doing even better now than we were before, and we're about to renew our lease. If you feel like he's the right person to settle down with, go for it. 😊

Answer

If you're ready to take a big step like that, go for it! Me and my fiance did it! Living with your SO can make you pull out your hair at times but I loved it! I think it makes things more serious very quickly! Sometimes I regret it being so young because you want your space sometimes but in the end, it's always been worth it. ❤ I'm 18 and have been living with him since I was 16.

Answer

My boyfriend and I have been together for 14 months. I started staying at his house (he still lives with his mom) when we were at about 3 months for weekends. And then I spent all summer with him and every weekend since and school breaks. His mom had a house key made for me, because of working late some nights. I honesty don't think there is a set amount of time that makes it okay. It's whenever you both feel ready, and you know that you guys can handle being on your own (financially, I mean). I say go for it! It could be the best decision of your life! 💕

Answer

I had a place with some friends for just short of a year and my boyfriend moved in about 3 months after getting together. When the lease was up, we got our own place together. I've never had the housing problems with him that I did with my friends. I think it depends on the relationship and lifestyle compatibility.

Answer

Honestly, it depends.
It depends on your relationship, and it depends on your guys' maturity level.
Questions to ask yourself to see if you guys are ready:
1. Have you guys ever stayed together before (and I'm not talking just a single night at a time)?
2. Do you both have the money to cover the living expenses? Money is a horrible thing to fight over.
3. Have you set rules and expectations for each other, and/or do you plan to?
4. Are you at the level in your relationship where you both know you poop and fart and you're not embarrassed about it? 
Even though it seems silly, #4 is very important. If you still need to hide the fact that you use the bathroom (e.g., turning on the shower so he doesn't hear you poop, or you can't fart around each other, etc.), you're not ready to move in with each other yet.
#1 is also important, because if you haven't stayed with each other for a somewhat extended period of time yet, you're not ready to move in with each other. If that's the case, once he moves into his new place, have LOTS of sleepovers.

Answer

You're so young. Don't settle down too quickly. Still love him and everything, but I would recommend getting a place with some girl friends. You need that experience! If he's really the one, you will have years to live together. No need to rush!
