nycndatriad Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 I am a single woman in my 30's w/ one kid, he's 4. I broke up w/ his Dad 2 yrs ago. I have dated sporadically in the past 2 yrs. I met this guy in the End of Sep. 2007. He was living w/ his Mom and he moved in w/ her from out of town.. he said that he was seeking better job opportunities. 2 1/2 wks we went out saw he other daily and after a couple years of celibacy we slept together. I am really into this guy. He is really smart, he is a broad thinker, he is very ambitious, he is a college graduate, ex-marine and he had a tough time growing up but made it through despite that. He asked me could we live together and I initally said no because of my past experience with my son's Dad and I felt that it was too soon. I had already done a backgound check on him to find out if he had anything in his past that was undesirable enough for me not to want to be around him...call me careful or call it trust issues but he checked out okay and so far my investigation finds that he has been truthful about himself. Anyway we were having fun and spending lots of time together. I gave him the key to my place after a month. He helps out the groceries and tasks around the house. He is really patient with my son and appears to be a good guy. He is job hunting and he has been working temp jobs to generate income until he is able to find a permanent job. My Mom is pissed that I allowed him to move in and feels that I am making a mistake. I have REALLY enjoyed the time that I have spent with him. I am still trying to keeping my eyes wide open but enjoying myself. We have plans to start a business together and we have similiar goals in life. I think that my Mom's anger about us living together is what makes me concerned and he has been in several live in realtionships in the past actually 3 in past 7 years.
gonetildecember Posted November 16, 2007 Posted November 16, 2007 Just to clarify.. you've been dating this guy for a month and a half?
Author nycndatriad Posted November 17, 2007 Author Posted November 17, 2007 Yes to clarify we have been dating for 2 months.
JCD Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 He had three relationships in seven years and that could be a problem. Ask him why his relationships failed and if he blames his ex's too much you know he's hiding something.
Lishy Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Always be wary of a guy who lives with parents and wants to move in too quickly. He may just want a place to live!!!!!!! There are lots of guys like this! As long as you are happy then just do what you want!
