A few [i][b]months![/b][/i] [b][i] 😯 Way[/i][/b] too soon! You two hardly know each other. And you[i] [b]would [/b][/i]be “giving your power away” (so to speak) if you live with him at this juncture. 🙁 What’s your rush? 😕
Your gut instincts are good (“cohabitating is not in my interest”)and you know what will work for you (you would live together but “want to move on towards marriage”) so why not take your time and get to know him better? 😀 If you must respond to this premature request, you can nicely let him know you consider living together the last step before marriage and that you are not ready to do either one right now while you two are still getting to know each other.
Hope that helps. Mostly, just listen to your gut instincts. And that “been there, done that” voice. 🙄
