Most couples do it thinking it means you’re in a committed relationship, but a recent study actually showed that nearly 52 percent of men and 39 percent of women who moved in together said they weren’t secure about their relationships. Here are some signs that you need to push that idea back a little.
1. You’ve been dating less than one yearÂ
Rule of thumb. Because you see every side of a person when you live with them, you want to make sure you’ve been with them long enough to prepare for what is yet to come. Getting to know every aspect of a person in a matter of months can be overwhelming.
2. You can’t seem to compromise on anything
When you spend time with each other, you can’t ever seem to agree with anything. This is a bad sign. When you live with someone, it’s all about compromise, from splitting bills to splitting chores. If you can’t even agree on whether you should cab it or take the subway, you’re probably not ready to make the big move with him.
3. You see each other less than 3-4 times a week, and you’re comfortable with that
Remember this: when you move in with each other, you will see that person every single day. If you don’t feel the urge to spend more time with him yet, then you’re definitely not ready to lay down next to him every night.
4. Your finances aren’t in orderÂ
A lot of couples move in because they need help with bills, so they think paying them together will help them financially. This is a terrible mistake. When you’re sharing a place with someone, your finances should always be in order. You don’t want to face the reality of not having your portion of the cable bill, and the service shuts off because of you. Not a good feeling.
5. You haven’t met their family and friends
You can learn a lot about a person from their family and friends. If you’re not digging his friends, you’re not going to like that they will probably spend a lot of time coming over. Make sure you’ve met them and spent time with them first.
