  • Too many exponents!! There will be no accuracy unless you find someone with strict sets of dating rules... Honestly those people suck at life!!
  • Personally, I've always given it at least a year. Have a few "sleepover" weekends or even full weeks to get to know their strange habits (we all have them)first.
  • I can't say I would date anyone long enough for that, though should I drop a knee and get the answer I want, I might consider it.
  • when we get married
  • when it feels right i guess :)
  • At least until the 12th of Never. I am so old and set in my ways, I seriously doubt I could find anyone I would want to live with (or who would want to live with me). My husband and I knew each other for exactly a year before we moved in together and we were married a year after that.
  • umm maybe about until marriage ;)
  • I'm with junebug, keep separate residences (and separate accounts) until marriage and then, rather than moving into one place or the other after the wedding, pick out a new place together. That way no one's identity is trampled and your new home will represent both of you.

  • 1-2 years. Anybody can be nice for a year. Then they show their true colours.
  • I wouldn't move in until marriage or at least when marriage was in the plan.
  • We dated a year and a half before we moved in together. We've been living together for about 4 years, and are engaged. We only moved in together so soon because he got a job in my city and it seemed silly for him to buy his own house here.
  • i'm thinking i'd want a ring on my finger first, whenever that may be
  • Whenever you feel like its time. Id say 2 1/2 years or 3. Then you can spend a year together, if you love each other get married at 4 years.
  • At least a year. Beyond that I wouldn't want to put a time frame on a decision that important. Ideally, it will just feel natural.
  • Probably like a year. When someone moves in, you learn a lot about them. It's the true test of the relationship if you ask me.
  • Until I was married, or until the date was set, the ring was on hand, the plans were made and the commitment set in stone. We did move in six months before we married, as I was finishing college, and taking care of a farm for my rent. I couldn't do all that and plan a wedding. However, we considered ourselves married and made a commitment to each other before God before we did it. In some times and places, that is married. It wasn't a trial marriage, it was married: we weren't moving out. That said, I would also date until I was sure of my s/o. Until I knew all his friends and family and he knew mine. Until I knew his system of beliefs and he knew mine and we were sure they meshed. Until I was sure that he didn't believe in resorting to violence to deal with frustration and anger. Until I knew his spending habits and he knew mine. Until I knew his debt level and he knew mine (if you aren't comfortable talking about it, that a sign you aren't ready).
  • Long enough to be married first.
  • 25 minutes.
