Reality Sinking In
So tomorrow Jenny and I put down a deposit on our first apartment together. Found a nice 1000 sqft apt/townhome in the heart of Hyde Park...just a "stones throw" from Bayshore. 
Even after 5-years of dating Jenny, I'm feeling a bit anxious about this move in thing. My nature is to be skeptical and pessimistic about practically everything, so I'm just fearful of things to come with the "big change". Any words of advice for moving in for the first time with a significant other?
But anywho, we have a nice backyard and a nice size living room area downstairs for people to hang around. May have a little pre-Gasparilla party/bbq before walking down to Bayshore. I'll post a formal invite closer to the date and if the deal on the apt goes through.

advice on moving in together? me and my wife started living together about 2 months after we met. thats because she lived so far away and would just spend the night. anyway best advice i can give you is to make sure the both of you respect each others space. if you spend too much time together you will end up at each others throats. i get about two hours everyday to myself where i dont have to hear the wife's jibba jabba. and she gets a whole day without me once a week. but when our schedules were identical we spent too much time together and got in little fights alot. and make sure she knows the same thing. you know what they say about too much of a good thing.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

u gotta deal with the little things. little querks that come with living with someone. petty stuff with how they wash the dishes, organize things, habits, etc. ive never lived with a significant other but its probably similar to living with a roommate except ur boinking them and share a bed.
i find that after being around someone for even just more than 24hrs, or overnight, that i have to have self time, i just have independant qualities sometimes.
sounds like u picked up a pretty pimp little pad there alan. hopefully i get the invite and we can housewarm in style.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.
Go out separatley at least a few times a month otherwise you will grow very tired of seeing her 24/7..
And don't let petty things fester or they will turn into huge fights later on. For example my wife would just put the dirty dishes in the sink and leave the kitchen a mess after a meal then clean up later on. Well that irritated the shit out of me because I like the kitchen clean immediatley after finishing a meal. But I never said anything. A few months down the road we got in a huge fight over it becasue I finally blew up about it.
Make sure to let her win a argument once and a while.
Last but not least, put the f*cking toilet seat down or she will bitch about it constantly.

If you guys are going strong and enjoy each others company, it willwork, if you get annoyed when you thinkabout her or see her, it won't work. Good luck.
