I mentioned to my conservative flatmate that the thought has crossed my mind of going, in the future, to the next step with my girlfriend. He said convention was that you live together first, before even getting engaged. (I am not planning on asking in the next six months - don't worry!)
Apparently, modern conservatism suggests you live together first. His argument was that sudden changes are not good.
My argument was the old 'in for a penny, in for a pound' argument. I do not want to live with her to 'test' her to see if we get on well enough. If we live together, sometimes we will fight. Sometimes we will not be so good together. I already know that.
Why would we take a step that is so hard to back out of, unless we were already committed enough to accept that we are not intending to back out?
Anyway, she is in the opposite of hurry, so don't buy your dresses for the occasion. I just like to imagine ahead.
