As far as I'm concerned, this guy is the one and I guess there's no set timescale to anything in relationships, but would appreciate any advice. Reply to this Question Share |

Some guys take to co-habitation like a duck to water, others are really freaked out about it. It really all depends on the guy in question. 3 months isn't that long to be together though. You could mention that if he's stuck for a place to live there's always your place! Say it in a light hearted fashion and see how he responds. DON'T make a big deal of it if he refuses though, it might be far too soon.

I did wonder if moving in with me has crossed his mind but he may also think it might be too soon to mention it. He does stay over at weekends - we have other commitments during the week between us so tend to see each other mainly at the weekends. I think I'll wait until he knows exactly when he has to move out of the house he's renting, and take the plunge! Thank you again.

Hi there,
I would suggest that if he hasn't started looking for a new place yet then it's on his mind too! He might be too polite to ask to suggest it to you!!
Does he already stay over alot? Does he have a key to your place?
Or suggest that he stores his stuff at yours while he's packing, and wait for his reaction!
Whatever you decide to do, good luck to you!!
Best wishes
xx

I don't think there is any timescale with when to ask someone to move in, its how you both feel about each other.
You say that this guy is the one, so pop the question and im sure he will jump at the chance to move in with you.
hope all goes well x
