It would mean she is a step closer to marriage in her mind. A female is always looking for security and a place to nest. She is also looking for commitment and someone to be there when she needs him. I am a female and never lived with a boyfriend outside of marriage. It just seems too complicated and in the end if the relationship doesn't work out she is giving up any type of future security because she will have to move out if there is a breakup. Of course, she will stay and fight for the space to the bitter end because once she is in there she becomes quite territorial about it. If you are the guy and she moves in with you, expect to give up a lot of things you are used to - sports on TV in your underwear, the old furniture you think is so comfy, the fridge full of nothing but beer and day-old pizza, guys poker night, etc. Your life will change dramatically once a woman enters your space full time so be prepared. AND if you do marry her, the relationship will change dramatically again once the marriage takes place - it won't be the same experience as living together. So, if she says living together is good practice for a marriage, that just is not so. Read some books and watch some movies - most of them exaggerate but tell the truth about both experiences.

consider it as just being the next step in a relationship. If you read into it too far you could get the wrong idea. Just one step at a time. If she is the type that comments fast just make sure that you are ready to deal with whatever she has in mind.
And by the way living together isn't that your married it will just give you an idea of what kind of marriage you will have.

It means one is afraid of marriage and wants to see if they can work it out shacking first. This is not good and leave to unpleasant circumstances. Most females that does this, the guy will sometimes hurry and marry another after playing with your emotion for a time. Start it right form the beginning and you can never ever go wrong.

It is the next step. It means that she likes you enough to see if she could be married to you. It is just a step closer to marriage. When you live with someone you get to really know who they are and if your two personalities are compatable. It doesn't mean she is looking to get married right now she is just thinking about it as a possibility

I believe it to be a test in a sense. To see how things go living together before a full commitment to marriage is placed. As women, we need a sense of secruity and knowing what we are getting into before we just settle.

sometimes it becomes a natural flow of events if two people dating for a while and are renting and are living in separate apartments. You can even call it simple economics motivated by love. I would be wary if you live in California because somebody may end up paying (in the case of a break up) even though you are not legally married.

Yea well, I took two months to check him out. I was borderline cause he had an ex and two kids and it was a leap for me to consider. Unlike most idiot women who think a guy is going to work on the relationship when they have problems, well if their not married they will not. Its to easy to move on rather than face hard stuff. But a married guy knows they have to address problems, unlike live-ins. Woa! to those who have kids. Anyway, I married him cause he checked out, and God was a priority in our union and he was not perfect--- but he is close now 26yrs later!

If I had a boyfriend and I wanted to live with him, I'd assume that marriage was coming. Of course, I'd talk to him and let him know what I want and if he didn't feel the same way, then I wouldn't move in with him.

In my opinion, moving in together is a step away from being engaged or married. You don't move in with a guy if you aren't serious about the relationship
