[quote=Anonymous][quote]My personal opinion (as a woman) is that if a woman desires marriage, it's ideal to wait to move in until a commitment is made (engagement). I am older than your DD (late 20s) but when my S/O broached this, I told him point blank that I would NOT be moving in without a ring, as it would require me to spend $$$$ on moving, selling or renting my current place, etc. and I needed a commitment from him as well. We went ring shopping several months later.

That being said, your daughter is an adult and at least you like the BF. Not the end of tbe world.[/quote]

I agree with this.  Had several friends who spent their 20s/30s living with a guy who waffled over commitment.  Eventually the couples broke up and guess what---each time the guy got married within the next year.   There is nothing you can do but have one conversation with daughter about your hope that daughter pays attention to what is ACTUALLY going on in the relationship as opposed to what she HOPES is going on.[/quote]
