Step cautiously! The things that are "ok" or "sweet" now, may not be so sweet once you are stuck in a place you can't afford to get out of...
I have "shacked-up" twice... once it ended in marriage... and divorce and this time it is 15 years, and it is still MOSTLY wonderful!
Good luck... (you can always count on your YT buddies to have a world of advice)
Follow your heart, but listen to your HEAD!!!!!

Thanks so much!!! What worries me the most is being able to afford it-which i will make sure i save enough before moving in-and 2 balancing school and work because i will be returning to school for interior design which i heard is very hard! And the other thing that worries me is balancing the relationship if we do move in together-but then again if we dont live together it will be harder. But the cleaning and all that-thats a breeze-he can take care of that! LOL im jk! I like cleaning when its my own place so its no problem and he is the cook usually but i am going to teach myself to cook- all those things i know will work out cause once im in my own place i will want to do them
