Aloros Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 I've been dating my boyfriend for about five months now. We have a pretty amazing relationship. We've known one another for about a year (and harbored secret crushes on one another), but only recently started dating since I had been seeing someone else. He treats me so well, and he tells me I do the same for him. In February, we're taking a two-week vacation together to Thailand. We've recently had some conversations regarding living situations. We each live alone, although we tend to split time evenly between our two places. We spend every night together and most of our spare time. Each of us keeps various sundries at the other's place. He's made some comments that make me wonder if he's considering moving in together. He has a month-to-month lease, and my lease expires mid-February. He asked me a couple days ago if I wanted to move into a house (I said "yes", of course!). He's been expressing a desire to move into a house. He's been looking at house prices in our area as well as costs to rent. This morning he started looking at house rental advertisements and asked me to take a look at a few. He also asked me when my lease was up and what I was going to do once it was. When I told him he'd have to get a roommate to cover costs, he said he was unsure he wanted to burden someone with our current situation (as I would be over at his place a good deal of the time). He oftentimes treats his place and/or my place as "our" place in conversation and tells other people that we essentially live together. Still, it's only been around five months. I dated my ex for over five years, and it was only in the last year that we even talked about moving in together. I've never lived with a significant other If he asks, I want to be able to give a definitive answer. Are there things I should consider that I'm not thinking about? On one hand, the idea scares me - more commitment, right? On the other hand, I simply adore him, and our living habits are so similar that there would be very little adjustment. Besides, then we wouldn't have to do the whole back-and-forth thing. We're always forgetting things at one another's places, or we'll be at one of our places and need/want something from the other one's place.
