Don't move in with her. Especially not a girl named mindy. You don't have to move in with a girl to get some....she's not your GF, only going to be problems.

The down and dirty is do you want the ability to come and go as you please. If you see the posibility that there may be any other action then don't do it. First problem is, and I think the rest will agree, you don't sound like your anywhere near "in love" with this girl, so moving in is probably premature.

Otherwise, if you get to that point were your ready for a commited relationship, move in for a couple of years before you make any permenent plans, so that you can determine if you are compatable on a daily basis.

If he's not a member, he ought to be.

Cliffs: Don't move in with her. Continue to tap it like a keg at a frat party though. :p

Given your history, story description of where you both are at, and age, do NOT move in with her.

Do NOT move in with her. It never goes how it's planned. So, just save yourself the hassle.

OK, so you all remember the girl that you all tried to get me to finally "make a move on", and I never did. I'm "known for this" apparently.

Well I finally did a while back, and now we're great friends and life is good.

Anyway, her and I are both looking for a place to live, and we're both interested in living with each other. However, I already sleep over her house about 3 times per week, and when I do, we sleep together, and stuff usually happens.

So if we move in together, I'd probably get to "cuddle" with her at night 365 days per year, and "you know" would happen very often.

Now I think this girl is so hot, and I even like her, but I think her indecisiveness would drive me crazy and that keeps me away. I think she has a couple things that 'keep her away' from me too.

So now the question remains: Live a year in "paradise" like this in my early 20's, and experience the 365/7/24? Or stay away because if I'm "doing it" that often I might get attached? :)

My lean is towards the latter....

I'm confused. Are you guys dating, friends or just stable mates. Are you guys banging other people?

Would you move in as friends, as a couple or as a way to save on costs?

Sounds like a bad idea, considering there is no serious relationship behind it. It'd be bound to fail, and probably sooner rather than later.

Unless you can handle getting sloppy seconds almost every night


No,we have a "deal"

Whatever your "deal" is with her, it's only going to last until she finds someone she really likes. Do you want the possibility of living with her and hearing her bang some other guy in the next room?

Don't bother trying to live with her man, that's a huge mistake. Not only as others have said are you not together, it will inevitably lead to a huge fight and someone moving out. Think of the possible scenarios....

1. You move in, she eventually gets tired of you, sees your every advance as being clingy, starts distancing herself, cut to eventual fight and move.

2. You move in, she tries to have her cake and get it eaten too, you find out, cut to eventual fight and move.

3. You move in, she gets comfortable, starts eating fried twinkies for dinner, finds a whale fisherman and slides on down to scenario #2, cut to eventual fight and move.

4. You stay at home, keep your options open, stay a challenge for her, keep getting bootay, and possibly get a little extra sidework in as well.

My vote is for 4.

I can think of even worse options than that, like:

Her catching a case of the monogamy and wanting to get married.
Her accidently or "accidently" forgetting her birth control and getting preggers.
Or, maybe she starts screwing around with other guys and gives you a VD.
OR, maybe she gets a new boyfriend who's the jealous type, and kicks your ass when she finds out that she's getting some side action from you.

Seriously, I just can't see this going well for you.

You really need to figure out where the relationship side of things is going before you move in. It would be mighty awkward to end up moving in with a gal you like to find out that she started dating other guys because you and were were just friends with benefits. I'm just saying, watch out and be sure to cover your bases before you make this move.

Also, be sure that she has a solid source of income and a backup plan in case she changes or loses her job. That's just business....otherwise you'll get stuck supporting her and unless you have a solid job, it's not worth the risk.
