OK, here's the deal...

I met this AMAZING girl back in March. In May, she came over one night, and told me that she was completely in love with me, and that I make her feel like nobody else ever has before. She said that she wanted desperately to move in with me, because it hurts her to be away from me for any amount of time. About a week after that, I got kicked out of my apartment and had to find a new one. We found one together, and she signed the lease with me. I explained to her beforehand that it's not a game, and not to sign it if she thought it was. She told me she'd be moved in by Halloween, which I thought was reasonable. Well, it's now September, and she has not said a single thing to her parents about moving in with me. She says she doesn't know when she'll be able to. She says she doesn't have the "balls" as she puts it, to stand up to her parents. By the way, she's 21, and I'm 24.

Up to this point, she has been helping me pay for the rent here, helping with the bills, etc. She's not showing any signs of not wanting to pursue this relationship further. How long should I sit here and wait for her? I love her more than anything in the world, but I can't help feeling like she's been dragging me along up to this point as far as moving in is concerned. To this day, she tells me, in her own words, that she "wants this so bad she can taste it." She lives about an hour away from me, and comes out to see me every single night after work, which is like 12am or so. I don't understand her reasoning behind this, and I need someone else's opinion, because every single time I bring it up to her, she breaks down crying, knowing that I'll stop talking about it because I'm in love with her, and don't want to see her crying. Someone help!

It's past time. You two have not known each other long enough to be living together any way, other wise you would have known her well enough to know how she is. Move in.

Did you mean "move on?" Are you saying I should end this? Or should I hang on and wait until she feels she's ready? I love her VERY much, and honestly don't want to do anything like this to her. I don't even know why it's so important to me. I need someone to tell me exactly what I should do here, because obviously the decisions I make aren't the best.

Scrap the whole living together thing and get to know each other. Date. Find out about your likes and dislikes. If you even share enough values to be compatible.
This is what the dating process is about

Well, today's November 1st, so obviously she didn't mean what she said. For some reason, I actually don't care so much anymore. Maybe it's because I've given up on the idea? Who knows. Either way, I guess I have no other choice than to sit around and hope for the best. See what transpires. I've also decided that I DO love her, with all my heart. When she's ready to do something, she'll do it. Until then, all I can do is focus on the good times we have together and enjoy them as much as I can.

As of today, I'm officially closing this post. A BIG thanks to everyone who gave me their advice, it helped immensely. I just don't see the point in going on and on about this anymore...it's not going to change anything. Maybe one day I'll get what will truly make me happy, but not anytime soon. Thanks again everyone!
