I've been dating someone for about 6 weeks. We are seriously considering living together. I just wanted to get feedback on this.
I've been in several serious relationships, as has he.
This is also the first time that either of us have been in love.
We are tossing around the idea of living together, starting in January. That will put us at nearly 6 months.
Any personal experiences would be great to hear.

It sounds like you are taking it at a great pace. I guess the question you should be asking yourselves is what future did you plan for yourselves? If you hoped to eventually find Mr. Right and settle down and be a family together, then this is part of the steps to achieve that. You're not rushing into anything, and if you can get through the holidays without killing each other, I would say you have a chance at making it.
I would suggest you talk talk talk about how you both live. Pigs and the obsessive compulsive do not live well together, even if it makes for a great play, movie and tv show.
I would take the chance to spend some long weekends with each other just to see if you can get past the "romantic" time to the everyday reality.
Otherwise congratulations it looks like you have a beginning!

Good luck with him he sounds like Mr right for you
go easy and always look on the bright side
my relationship has never been stronger
but always be careful as some people
will be very vocal, about living near you
take the good with the bad
I'm sure you can work through the next step together
what ever you do don't lose your 'self'
that means to always be true to your self
trust your heart it will show you the way

Cheyne and i have been together for years about four
before we moved in together about three months ago
i am not saying i would not have done it earlier
but we could not do it sooner
watch out for that bottom line money
i like the idea of keeping it seberate for a few years
but all ways make sure if it all goes wrong
you can find a way out for your self
Sounds like you are great for each other so good luck

Just go along with decisions that you feel are right in your heart. If things do not work out, then you should not have any regrets by doing what you felt is right. The thing that concerns me is that you've had serious relationships before but have never been in love. I'm confused...

Well, I met my partner in June 1992, then September 1992 we started living together, in February 1993 we had our son, we're still happily together now after 14 years! So I say, if it feels right for you both and you both 'know' he is the right one, then why not go for it? :)
Good luck to you both.

My advice, and I give this after 8 years, is think about it very carefully. You should each keep your independance for as long as you can because once you give that up its very hard to go backwards. Living together means compromise, and giving up your own space completely, and that can be hard for some. God wishes you good luck!.

if after the six months you are madly in love, try it out. Hopefully you do better than other friends have moving in together, such as how clean he is

Good for you and the person that you are dating, like others said take it slow.

like Samantha Jones once said:
"If it feels good and sounds good and looks good and makes you feel good, it is probably good!" ... so go for it!
If it doesnt work out, life goes on, so can u.

take it slow and keep all your finances separate for the first 5 years.
