I just want some sort of commitment as I think we have been together for a long time...
my biggest issue is that it could go days or even two weeks and I dont see her and that bugs me as I want to see her all the time, whereas to her it is not a problem that she doesnt see me for two weeks and she thinks it is normal..

You don't give enough details about you or her for us to be able to give you answer.
It could be that she is happy with things the way they are now and doesn't want you to have to see her all grotty and giving her legs a wax.
Or maybe like me she loves having her own space and independance.
Or maybe she can't afford the rent you are paying.
Give some more details if you want more advice.
But you could just go and say that you don't mind if she doesn't want to live with you and just want to know what's she's thinking.
Good Luck!! xx

You don't mention how long the relationship has been going on. I think that is a pretty important element of reasonableness. But I think she is being straightforward in her feelings about it at any rate. Why would you want someone to move in with you who didn't feel ready to?
Ask her why she doesn't feel ready. If she says she needs to get to know you better, respect that. Some people just need more time than others. Maybe she is still dealing with the hurt of a past relationship. Or maybe she has personal or religious reasons for not wanting to move in. Regardless, you need to approach the conversation with the spirit of understanding, not confrontation. Some women just enjoy the independence of being on their own. If that is the case and it is a problem for you, you would probably be best off to move on.

How long have you been dating and how old is your girlfriend? There are many reasons people dont move in together, work, family, location. Could be lots of reasons. I dont see how anyone can comment with very little info.
