We had been together for 6 months before we moved in together. Still going strong and very happy for 2 years now.
I think you have to look at your situation and make the best decision for you. Never rush into anything.

I wouldn't set such low expectations on a relationship and move in with someone I didn't marry. If marriage and family was something I wanted, living with a person statisically isn't the way to go. It rarely leads to marriage and when it does, the rate of divorce is higher among people who live together before marriage than those who do not. Your job is to figure out what you want for your life and determine how moving in with your boyfriend will help you get to where you want to be. There is no standard that says you have to move in with him. You'll have to consider it well before you make a decision which will forever change your life. Good luck!

I waited 2 years and we lived together for a year and a half and now were broken up. When I moved in with him everything changed I seen sides of him I didn't know existed. I think living together is a good way to know if you really want to be together or not.

I waited a month before he asked me and I moved in. We'd only been together for a month as well, BUT reasonable time would be maybe a year or even six months, depending on how much time you spend together anyways.

Well, my husband and I never lived together before we were married. We dated 6 years, and then got married and moved in together. I'm not saying that is the right way, it's just what we did. If I were you, I'd wait at least 6 months.

Mine moved in with me after 3 days, I think and we've been together 11 years. If you're younger a longer wait is certainly in order. It's a matter of knowing what you want in a relationship.

My partner & myself are moving in together only after 31/2 months in a relationship. I think that if you've made a connection go for it.

We dated for two years and then I married her. We actually slept together for the first time the first night of the honeymoon. Yes, we were virgins on our wedding night. Then we returned home and she has been in the same bed with me for 28 years.
You want to play around, I can guarantee that your relationship will not last for your lifetime. Either one or both of you will part from the other to find another fling and another, and another, and another.

We did the online dating .. so needless to say 2 years of that. My husband had to fly to see me (he is in the military, stationed in Germany), we got married in March 05 and he immediately deployed .. so a full year of marriage til we finally got to live together. That isn't the norm

I waited three months. I moved from my parents house though, so it was kinda rushed, but we have been living together for two years now and we are very very happy!
