How long before moving in together

Just wondering how long people were in relationships for before moving in together... Im in a long distance relationship, have been together for 4 months now. Its all been pretty serious from the start. We see eachother at the weekend, maybe every second weekend. But its getting more and more difficult when im not seeing him, and he's said the same. Hes currently living at his mums, pending completion on a house that hes just bought. And hes suggested that i can stay at his for weeks at a time if i can schedule work in the area. It feels like this could progress quite quickly into me moving in, work would be easy to sort a transfer for, and i feel like its the right time, but i dont know if its too soon to be even thinking about that?

I moved in two months after we met and we have been together two years now.

5 years here before we decided to buy a house together. I was a very settled single 30+ when I met him. We have always been very happy together prior and and now 2 years down the line of that decision still happily living together in our own lovely home.

However everyone's different and I don't believe there's a right or wrong. Lots of different factors to consider.

It took one year of a long distance relationship we'd only met up eight times. If you are thinking about it you're ready emotionally so go for it.

I was in a long distance relationship for 13 months before we moved in together. I'd see him every weekend and spend a full week together and Christmas together before I moved. I had kids to consider and we decided to move over to where he was in a brand new house so we both had a move (me from my house and him from his mums)
Good luck whatever you decide

20 years ago I went on a date. He stayed the night at my place and never went home again!
