monkey80 Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Hi all What can I say. I have been in an amazing relationship with my girlfriend of the last 6 months. She is quite a bit younger than I am at 24 years old and I am going to be 34 this year. We recently said the "I love you's" to eachother after a recent trip abroad. We've barely argued, although I have said a couple of silly things on occasion that has made her a little bit annoyed at me. We patch things up fairly quickly, though. I've actually said and done things early on in our relationship that would probably send a few women running the other direction to be honest, but she understands me almost implicitly and I often feel that because of this she could well be the one for me. Aside from doing everything else you can think of, we have not yet slept together - something I have yet to ever experience in previous relationships - but I know that time is coming. I think this is making our bond even stronger and, if we do end up sleeping together, then one could assume that this will strengthen our relationship. There is currently one sticking point that will come to a head sooner or later though. She is currently working hard to secure a job (I think she will land this role) that could well see her finally take a giant leap in her own career aspirations and this might take her away from her locality to me and work somewhere quite far away. She could well be posted in roughly the same rough location as she currently resides but there is every chance that she will be working in a different part of the country, I have subtly mentioned that we need to talk at some point about a few things and I get the feeling she has her suspicions of what I might ask. One of those is moving in together. I did this once before and got burned pretty badly by the experience as I was not ready for it. This time this feels completely different and I really want to go with this one with all my heart. I am just worried that due to a few mitigating issues she might not be ready or warm to the idea yet. I would actually entertain the idea of moving closer to her work than mine as I don't mind the commute. Of course, this might all be moot if she does not get the role. But the moving in together is something I want to explore whether or not she lands a secure job role that will give herself some financial stability. How do I approach this? Do I flat out just ask?

meeji Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Ask her how she feels about moving in together. That will give her the hint that you have been thinking about it. If she hasn't already, she can start.
