Is 1 month of dating too soon to move in with someone?

Answer 1

Yes it is too soon, I would wait 6 months to a year and then decide. It may not take that long to want to move in together but its just a precaution to look before you leap into something you both may not be ready for. Take care Heather

Answer 2

In general, yes. There is no set amount of time, but only 4 weeks isn't enough. I would have lots of issues moving in with anyone, no matter how long I've known them. There are so many things that can go wrong, and things can end up being so different than you expect. Bad habits, personality flaws, gosh knows what else, that all comes out only after a person starts living with another one. You should get to know him ALOT better before you even think about this again. Rushing into that situation can be very costly economically and emotionally.

Answer 3

There's no hard, fast rule. I moved in with my wife after three weeks, and we're eight years along now. My parents moved in after three months, and they're still together over fourty years later.

On the other hand, my wife's parents moved in after a year, and they got divorced a long time ago. It can go both ways.

A better question is this: do you trust your SO enough that you're willing to risk being put out on the street if things don't work out? After all, that's what you're talking about. You can get some security in that regard by both being on the lease, but then if you want to break up, what happens? Who gets the place, and who's out on their ear?

Here's my recommendation, based on a lot of experience: don't move in with someone because you love them; move in with someone because you spend so much time at their place (or them at yours) that you're practically living together already. You need to know that you're both certain that you enjoy that close proximity at all hours of the day and night -- and when one of you is sick, or cranky, or pissed at the other -- before you commit to being that way 24/7.

If you've got years of living with other people under your belt, then moving in quickly (as I did) might pay off; if you don't, however, I advise waiting and seeing instead.

Answer 4

Well i can tell you from my situation that i have been living with my man for 2 yrs after only dating for a month ,,and we also met online. We plan on getting married in the future. So its all up to the couple and how serious you both are about eachother and making a serious commitment together. Mkae sure its what you both want and make sure hes not going to turn into a different person after you move in with him.

Answer 5

I would have to say yes. I have not had this experience but one of my close friends moved in with her boyfriend after only dating for one month and it ended badly. You still do not know enough about each other (even if you think you do) to make a commitment like that. My friend and her now ex-boyfriend hate each other because they took things too fast.

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

I know someone that moved in with her bf after a month of dating... they are doing really good. I think it all depends. If you are not ready then tell him you need a little more time....

Answer 8

One month of dating is too early, but if you have known this person closely for a longer time, than things may be OK.

Answer 9

Yes, have you gotten in your first fight yet? How will u know how they will react to certain situations? I think moving in is way to permanent for people who have been only dating a month...

Answer 10

I would agree.. That seems entirely too soon to move in with someone.
