When is Boyfriend Move In Time? In Normal People land....lesbians are not known for normal.

6-10 months from now, I'm thinking. But it's a lot of thinking. Counseling is coming first!

I remember the joke on E.R. when Kerry Weaver came out as a lesbian. Something along the lines of "what does a lesbian bring to a second date?" "A U-Haul truck."

ETA:

My new rule for thrift shopping is unless I know exactly what I'm going to do with an item, I can not buy it.

This has been the hardest lesson for me to learn. Just because it's an Aquascutum trench in my size for $12 does not mean I need to own a 4th trench coat in camel.

For me, Boyfriend Move In Time was about 6 months, but that was mainly because I was graduating from college and needed a place to live. I think it's quite often whenever the lease comes up.

I talked to my dad yesterday and he said it would be Saturday or Sunday?

I know only what I am told. Maybe you should call and clarify?

We will "live in sin" until gay marriage is legal (though there is cake).

...can i just have the cake?

the amount of effort it's going to take to get The Boy's place in shape and habitable for an extra human being who already has furniture and is VERY allergic to cats

Sounds like key time to hire someone!

Oh, trust me, people WILL be hired (including People Who Can Make A Bathroom That Teppy Will Not Be Afraid Of Bathing In). It's just -- The Boy has to come around to the idea of that.

Tep, does the Boy have a completely and utterly awesome place or an unbeatable deal on his rent, or would it be even remotely possible to consider both moving to someplace new? Which would force him to do some stuff-purging, and also might get you into a place that isn't thoroughly cat-saturated (it'll likely become so over time, but at least you'd start out with an allergenic clean slate).

The housing market sucks donkey dong, and he can't afford to take a loss on selling his house (if he were to sell it), so for the time being, it's either (1) move into his place after some Tepification, or (2) keep on living 2 places.

Mmm, CAKE! I love cake.

It's totally true, so often. And then there's "What do gay men bring on a second date?" "What's a second date?"

I am all for cake on any provocation, or none at all. You need no reason for cake; cake justifies itself.

This has been the hardest lesson for me to learn. Just because it's an Aquascutum trench in my size for $12 does not mean I need to own a 4th trench coat in camel.

The hardest part for me has been teaching myself not to buy things thinking I'll re-sell them later. That leads to boxes of random things hiding in corners for years.

It took GF and I about 3 years to move in together. But she pretty much lived at my place for all of those years before we did.
