i think so 3 weeks is DEFINITELY not enough time to get to know someone
-
Not for hamsters or rabbits.
-
My BF moved in after a week and we are still together after 7 years... so it may work...:)
-
Put it this way... you will find out soon enough when eachothers bad habits either grate or not!
-
Mayb keep your stuff in boxes coz chances are you will be on the move again in another 3!!!

It depends. How long have you known this person before you started dating? That's the deciding factor, I think. People say first impressions are only on the first meeting commonly, but I disagree. I think people are often so self-conscious of the "all-important" first impression, that they keep trying to make a good one one or maybe even two months after getting introduced to a new person. And, as we all know, how people act when they try to make a first impression is not representative of who they really are. They lie and cheat and generally do everything they can to make themselves look good. So if you've only known this person three weeks, then chances are you don't know them at all, aside from what lengths they will go to to impress you. And I would say that, is not a good enough foundation for living together.

Way , waY, TOO SOON. Relationships ARE HARD ENOUGHT WITHOUT STARTING OUT HAVING TO DEAL WITH EACH OTHERS FAULTS IN THE BEGINNING.
-
I would say that it is too soon.
-
Hell yeah! Don't do it! You want to enjoy the dating type stuff for a bit longer.
-
May be yes for the normal ones. Not for the special ones
-
WAY TOO SOON. Of course it may work for some couples but I think those cases are exceptions.
-
yes...really, how well can you know this person after only 3 weeks?
-
Since you need to ask, you're obviously not ready. Three weeks is way too soon. Heck, I'd say that even three months is way too soon. You should date for at least a year so that you know each other well before moving in together. Living together is a big commitment. You need to know that your personalities and habits are compatible.
-
YES WAY TOO SOON, get to know eachother first slow down
-
No times are tough nowadays so just think of it more as a roomie situation and rent month by month that way you can get out if you need to
-
It really depends on how much knowledge you have on this person. Trust is a fine quality but if you don't know her living habits then you'll go into this blindly. I suggest getting to know her more, know enough that you can feel safe living with her.
-
99% sure, yes. Are you the other 1%? It may be possible. Would you be asking the opinion of others if you were sure?
-
Yes.
-
Have we all learned nothing from Judge Judy? Her show is full of people suing each other after living together arrangements beak down because the parties involved knew too little about each other before taking the plunge. If you do move in togteher after 3 weeks, you deserve whatever misery you get, especially if either of you have children who will be exposed to this household.
-
I agree with another answer , "Would you be asking the opinion of others if you were sure?" But as an example which might help, I met my boyfriend when i was 17, I'd known him for about two weeks when my mum went into hospital and he stayed with me almost every night and ended up living in my mum's house with me while she was in hospital for 6 months. He then ended up living with me in my student halls and now I'm 19, he's 20 and we live together in a flat and we have had no problems at all.
-
You will never really know until you do...too soon for some...ok for others...just follow your gut instinct!
-
If you aren't sure... then your not ready. I met a girlfriend and by three weeks I was ready to move in together. We didn't, until around three months and by that time I knew I wanted to marry her. One month ago we had our 28th Anniversary. It's all about being sure. Hope this helps.
-
It depends. After the first night, did the other partner never leave? Three weeks together continuously is a pretty good sign....
-
unless it is a one of those have to things I would wait just a little longer but if you both kind of need the room mate thing anyway than go ahead but I would still rather not have to move them in that soon I would wait for atleast 3 months.
-
i should say so.
-
Its real quick, so just make sure you have some place to go incase it does fail. With that said, if you love them, why not as long as you work out all the details and don't jump into it.
-
It is too soon. You just started this relationship and it's new and you're barely getting to know this person. You should give it more time because you don't this person well enough to live with them.
-
It depends on how comfortable you are with each other and how honest you both are. Go with your gut feeling. If it feels right, it could very well be the best thing you have ever done. But only make this important decision if you are totally comfortable with it.
-
whoa! YES, it is. pump your brakes, sweetheart! you guys are still high on new relationship energy and the thrill of its potential to be something great. usually, at the start of a relationship emotions/sex/connection are intense and that ends up blinding us to some of the less positive traits of that person - everything they do seems cute/sexy/amazing/arousing and because you think that person so great you might not seriously consider that maybe you guys have very different lifestyles, have different habits, and so on and so on...
-
Yes, strangers know each other better. :)
-
yes!
-
There are probably some who have been able to make that arrangement work, but there are most likely a LOT more who have failed. Moving in together really does make the relationship a lot more complex, and after three weeks probably most people don't know each other well enough to open up and really give that much trust over.
-
relationship takes time , to understand the partne you need to spend some time , know all his aspects and then decide :)
-
Well, that depends on how long you've ACTUALLY known the person. If you just met them recently then this SHOULDN'T EVEN BE A QUESTION TO ASK BECAUSE YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER.
-
Probably, after three weeks, you two havn't even gotten past the novelty of a new relationship yet.
-
Not a good idea cause you both are still adjusting to each others personalities. It would be very rare that you could move in after such a short time of knowing each other and still make it work. Dont rush it and time will tell.
-
I moved in with my bf 3 days and are still together 1 year later...Good luck you never know....
-
There's a reason you are asking total strangers this question: your subconscious mind knows it's not right.
-
yes
-
Yes and no. It depends on a lot of things. Why do you guys feel the need to live together. Are you both saying you are ready for a life time commitment? Some people just know they are meant to be, so why wait. (My husband and I moved in together after a month and a half and we have been married for 27 years, going on 28 in Feb.) If not then that means either you both have doubts or one of you do and you guys should take time to think about things and see where it leads. Its easy to move in and live together but not that easy to break up and kick someone to the curb when you feel you made a mistake. Especially if its your place and you have no intentions on being the one who has to move out but the other person is still in love with you.
-
Yes.Are you kidding?
-
You obviously don't know one another well so chances of that working in the long run are considerably less than 50%. Going through the emotional stress, effort, and hassle to move in with someone is enough that most people would not risk it. Just make sure you do not mingle your money or each of your personal stuff because you'll probably be packing up and moving out in a month or two.
-
To consider it is OK but to do it is way too early.
