What do you guys think living with a guy ten years older. I am 23 and he is 33, we have been together for 3 months. Any advice would help.

Personally, no matter the ages or the age difference, I wouldn't move in with a guy that early into the relationship.

Hi lauren2030, welcome to the board.

That's a tough one. I don't believe age matters. As for time, well, for some people you need time to get to know them and for others you don't. But, the fact that you're asking for opinions on the matter tells me that you're undecided, and this early on, that should be a sign to wait and see how things transpire. Allow nature to take it's course and see where it leads you. When it comes to a big step like living together, if you're not sure, then you should wait. Too many good relationships fail because the couple rushes into the big things, or the next step.

But that's just my 2 cents. Ultimately, you have to do what feels right to you. Just listen carefully and closely to yourself, and you'll know what to do.

I hope that helps.

Age doesn't matter as long as you are of the same maturity level, and if you are questioning the age gap then I would be questioning the maturity level.

Regardless of age, moving in with someone is a big responsibility and it will change you relationship.

Are you engaged?

I don 't think the age part matters, as some guys that are 33 are not mature anyway.  LOL.  I say this as I call my 40 year old DF, the oldest of our childern.  LOL

But after 3 months?  IMPO, that is a bit early.  There is no way to know someone in that time.  I'm still learning things about my DF, and we have been together 6 years, living together for 5. 

Think on it longer.  Good Luck!!
