Pick your battles. Its easy to become annoyed with someone when you see them every time you turn a corner. Make sure you know how to talk to each other with an open-mind and pick your battles. The smallest arguments can turn into mountains if you allow them too. Good luck!

my first gut response is "don't". But then thinking again that is what I should have not done is move in. - make sure you are moving in because you both love, trust and are honest with each other. There are going to be bumps in this road and you will need to have open communication to solve them. make sure you have your space in his place. That is one of my issues - my bf is a minimalist and I am a collector - so the two do not mesh well. I also like to change things and I like bright colors and he is more like milk toast - he likes the same things in the same place and muted colors (non-colors as far as I am concerned). Find out those little things that will drive you crazy first and deal with those because it is the little stuff that will end the relationship.

Know what is expected for bills and such before you move in. Also what the two of you plan to do if one of you are not doing your share of the bills. Also talk about if either of you expect a lot of friends or a few friends to be over regular. Just do a search about room mate problems on here and talk about some of the problems. Do not plan for to long of a time in case either of you find out the others habits are un bearable and have a long lease.

Moving in with someone is always a big step. And the old saying is VERY true. You will never truly know someone until you actually live with them.
One thing to remember when living with someone is, always remember that there are 2 heads under 1 roof now. Everything isn't going to be what your use to so you have to be open for change. You can't think selfishly when living with together with someone. Just remember that and you will be fine. Good luck on your new journey.

Make sure the two of you have a complete understanding of whats involved. The big thing is bills who pays what or do you split it 50/50. Also household duties etc you will find out that living together is pretty much like being married. Remember communication is important so talk about everything that way there isn't any miscomunication........

I did that last May (moved in with my girlfriend). It will take some adjusting, but you guys will eventually find your comfort zone with each other.
One of the biggest things that will help you make this work is if you have some personal time. For instance, you don't have to always go out with each other; do a "girls night out" or something every once in a while.

Try not to fight over stupid things- 'choose your battles'...also, most of the time it's easiest to just do it yourself, bc by the time you nag him to get it done, you could've done it already and avoided an argument.
Also- remember that you both will need your space. Make sure you have activities outside of the apartment so you're not both home all the time feeling cluttered.

The only real way to truly Know a person is to Live with him. I wish you the best, but remember you are NOT his Mom and hes NOT your Dad. Get that straight in the beginning..

Be yourself, dont be too bossy, and you will probably get annoyed with his friends coming over and makeing a mess, and with his own mess and not cleaning it up. Just remember he doesnt make them just to annoy you, thats just the way guys are. Most of them anyway.
Good Luck

i don't wanna tell you that's the wrong move, but it's hard when you first move in with a guy. You start finding out things you did'nt know ,bad habits, and things like that. number 1 rule if he goes out, don't ask him what time will he back, lol they hate that.
and don't get caught going through his things they hate that even more.
