In any long-term relationship, there comes a point in time where you’ll probably be looking to start living together. Before you start looking for apartments to rent, however, it’s important to have a conversation with your partner to make sure you’re both on the same page. While you could wait for your boyfriend to ask you outright, he might be projecting some subtle signs that he’s ready for that next step. Here are the top 10 signs to look for that let you know your boyfriend is so ready to live with you.

If your boyfriend is spending more time in your bed than his own, the comfiness of your bed might be playing a factor. When you move in and combine furniture, he’ll have access to you and your bed full time, which is a win-win.
9. He’s Tired Of Living With Roommates

Sharing a living space with a single roommate can become tiresome, but if your boyfriend is living with more than one it could definitely drain his energy. A serious relationship calls for privacy, which isn’t always an option when meeting in a shared space with roommates.
8. He’s Over Your Place All The Time Anyway
