Months, years?  How long do you think is right for you?

Personally, I would have to wait until marriage... given the way my family is, my dad would possibly want to disown me or call me a prostitute (even if I was dating the guy for over 5 years or we were engaged).

But, if that issue wasn't there, then I think maybe 2-3 years, provided we were both financially stable.

I would say at least a year or year and a half, unless one of us lost their apartment or needed somewhere to stay.

A year or two.

My boyfriend and I moved in together after 5 months, and..We're no longer together, so that didn't work out. (:

No idea until I was ready to be honest, however I wouldn't want to marry them before moving in with them. I would rather get used to being around them so much then go into the whole marriage situation with them

I think it would depend on my relationship with the guy and where I am personally in my life.  With my current boyfriend, I think I'm ready to move in with him now, and we've been going out for 2 years.  I think though if it were another guy, I would probably have to wait a little longer than that.

It just depends on what my relationship is at that point, and where I am in my life.

I would never suggest marrying someone without living with them first. If you cannot live with someone the marriage won't work and it would be horrible to find that put after marriage.

I don't understand how people don't move in before they get married. You expect to live the rest of your life with this person and there are so many things you don't know about a person or experience if you don't live together beforehand.

Personally, I'd move in when I felt it was right, there's no specific time, it varies depending on the relationship.

It really depends on who the other person is. If they're reliable, sedate, and have a steady income, then I'd move in with them sooner than if they were an unemployed, uneducated stoner.

It's different for different people and different partners. You need to be completely comfortable first and you should have stayed there for short periods of time e.g 3-4 days so that you know what their lifestyle at home is like.
(and learn all their bad habits ;) )
