MY GIRLFRIEND'S MOVING IN! =D

CloseThis year it seems I'm getting a very special Valentine's present, albeit a day late. As some of you know I'm currently involved in a long distance relationship. She wants to move into my area, so she's moving in with me on February 15th so she can get a new job up here, and start looking for her own place - though she's been hinting she might not need her own place if things go well! =D

Grats.
Get used to wiping down the toilet every time you pee. VERY IMPORTANT when you live with your lady.

Be extremely careful. Moving in with your girlfriend is an entirely different ballgame.
I don't know I think it's pretty pleasant. I mean if you aren't afraid of commitment and self-sacrifice etc. It's the best test of how serious your relationship really is.

Congrats, bud!
If you and your girlfriend are both 100% ready and prepared for this (which it sounds like you are), and understand each other, then you two shouldn't have too many problems (if, like Brandonabley said, you don't have problems with self-sacrifice, compromise and commitment).

I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about how the various little idiosyncrasies that you don't notice about yourself that suddenly become very very annoying to your significant other once you live with them, and vice versa.

Yup, and that's exactly how she might be looking at it. Thus, do be careful.

Indeed. It can sometimes result in sexdeath, but not always. Just watch out for that phenomenon.
ALSO, CONGRATS! Moving in together is very exciting :D My advice to you is to make sure you know whose responsibilities are whose... like my boyfriend cooked and I did the dishes, but it ended up that no one person was doing all the work. If people know what they're expected to do, it results in less fighting, I think. All the best to you guys.

Thanks guys, we're both getting really excited about it!
We've already been setting down some ground rules, and when she's been visiting she usually stays a while due to the distance thing. Most of the time it's for a week or two and we both talk about how we got used to each other constantly being there - I know a week or two is nothing compared to what it'll be like when she moves in but at least it's a positive indication.
We're taking it seriously, I don't get involved with a girl unless I mean it, and she's at the point where she's done with messing around, dating and experimenting.
It is a totally new ball game as some of you have said, but we plan to take things as they come. That currently means excitedly counting down the days XD

I do all cooking, cleaning, dish-washing, and general maintenance. I also buy everything and always pay for dates. Occassionally it is not good enough (I wanted burritos, not fried rice!!!).
I am starting to think I am being taken advantage of.

Cooking seems to be whoever can be bothered to cook that night. For example, last time she was here I made spaghetti bolognese (the only dish students know how to make it seems - though I also do a decent curry XD), she made a fry up the next night (she knows how to treat me =D), then the night after that I got in my speciality - take out. Just seemed to work like that for the week.
Whoever cooks, the other washes up. We're both responsible for keeping the room clean and I think I'm in charge of clothes washign and ironing. Gotta double check there. We've discussed it a few times so here's hoping they stick when she arrives.
Oh, and I already set a very important ground rule, if she uses anything on my bookcase, it goes back on the bookcase - exactly where it was. I told her leaving discs out of the case or putting them back in the wrong case is a death penalty as far as I'm concerned (it's my one big niggle). At the same time, if I ever break the spine of any of her books, I'm equally as dead XD

Her: "I'm hungry."
Me: "What did you want to eat?"
Her: "I don't know *pout*"
Me: *sigh*
-- 1 hr later, I get so hungry that I end up making myself a sandwich even after repeated attempts to get her to pick a damn piece of food 'Do you want X? Or Y? or maybe some Z? No, no, no.'---
-- 2 hrs later --
Her: "You are so inconsiderate! You didn't make me anything when you made yourself some food. I'm still hungry."
Me: *hangs self*
Repeat 5/7 nights a week.

You should hear us when we try to decide what restaurant to go to!
Yeah it's always like . . .
San Pedro's? No?
Bricks? No, you work there.
Keystone? No, that's too far.
Figlio? No, that's too loud.
Perkins? No, too greasy.
West Wind? No, too dark.
Copper Kettle? No, you don't like their waitresses.
South Fork? No, too midwestern.
Anyplace that serves meat? No, you are a vegetarian.
Green Mill? No, you didn't like their commercial.
Sushi Tango? No, too expensive.
Applebee's? No . . . you just don't feel like it. What? Why? Okay, okay, okay, nevermind.
Do you want to eat in? No, you want to go out. Well, I am going to make a sandwich while you think.

I always get the "it doesn't matter" response, when she's the pickiest eater alive. I'll literally eat almost anything anyone will make me, but she has some of the pickiest dietary preferences out of anyone. So why is she the one saying it doesn't matter?
IT MAKES ME WANT TO FLIP OUT
