I met a girl about 4 months ago off the internet.

It was as close to ‘love at first sight’ that I have ever experienced or have had any of my friends or family describe. We are inseperable.

She works out of town and right from the beginning, she started living with me on her days off. Now, in two months, she is going to move in with me permanently. I love this girl and I want to marry her someday. I am worried that we are moving too fast and I might wreck someone with a beautiful person just because we are impatient and in love. I was hoping that someone may have experienced something similar in the past and may be able to help me. Am I risking something great here, or am I just paranoid?

I won’t propose until after we live together for a while…are you saying we might be moving too fast?

Get to know alittle more about each other. There is nothing worse then to be married to someone and to have them reveal a terrible secret about themselve’s.

No, I thought you were going to propose to her like really soon.
Because if she moves in with you in 2 months then you will be knowing her for 6 months. Thats pretty good.
&& you guys are in love
:)

I’m not planning on proposing right away…maybe a year down the road if all goes well. Is it too soon to move in together though?

So Brenda, you think that it isn’t too soon to live together? We pretty much have been living together since like the first week. Do you think that if it really is love at first sight, then it doesn’t matter, we could live together and not suffer any set-backs because of it?

Well it might be a little too soon to move in together. But you guys could try it out and see how it works for you.

If it is too soon though, are we risking the relationship?

You can’t really know, I don’t think. You have to follow your own instincts. I say she’s right if your body, mind, and heart all say “Yes” and hers do, too. If even one little voice is saying “wait” or “no” then you need to wait or let it go.

But only time will really tell. There’s just no hard answers.

I don’t feel like it is too early. I can’t wait to live with her…but, I can’t help think that my judgement may be impaired by love. I try to think about all angles of a problem if it is a serious decision. My last girlfriend of 4 years…we never lived together because I didn’t feel like I was ever ready with her.

Thank you Brenda. I appreciate your opinion! :) I will still worry, but it’s good to hear that at least one person doesn’t think we are dooming ourselves.

Something like this DID happen to me. Unfortunately, we moved so fast we burnt up our relationship.
Luckily, it’s happened to me twice, and the second time, I just took my time, and it feels so much more…fulfilling. Just because I am able to appreciate it properly. In the end, you just have to do what you think is best-just make sure you take the time to appreciate everything about the relationship and the wonderful girl, because if you do wear it out too fast, you will regret not savoring what you had while you had it. But like I said, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Thanks for the advice Ms. I should add…we probably still won’t see too much of each other until the summer since I go to college and work full time and she works full timeas a nurse so she has crazy hours. I wonder if that makes moving in together earlier a little less of a risk to the relationship.

I know im sorry i was thinking that as i posted my reply. My comment was too immature for such a serious topic. I would say you are moving too fast but if you feel its the right thing to do then go with your heart. Why are you too rushing to move in with eachother? My friends did this and they are still together. They are 19 and 21. So if they can do it then maybe you two can since you are more mature than them. They only been together a year but they still love eachother

I’ve had enough ‘almost’ relationships that I know she is the one for me…I’m more worried about her getting tired of me to be honest.

Arent we all. Thats what both s*xes think when it comes to relationships. I say communication is the key which you already know. If you feel like she is distancing herself from you then sit down and talk about it. I dont think she will get tired of you any time soon because of her work schedule. I dont know her but i dont think that will be an issue. My friend dont think she spends enough time with her boyfriend but they see eachaother A LOT.

I don’t know why we’re rushing…I think because I know I’m sure and she said she has never felt the way she does about me before. She has been with a lot of jerks.

Lol, I suspected. Well that worked out well, we had advice for each other! And yes, I am a little slow…especially after I’ve been awake for 20 hours. Have a good day and a Happy New Year Skyy!
