Joe's AMAZING Relationship Problem Solver Advice!

From Chitown Chicklet:
Here's the scoop. I met this fantastic guy through a personal ad I
placed in the local free paper. Most everyone I know has placed or
answered an ad here, with mixed results. But no one I know, NO ONE has
had the amazing lightning bolt connection that this guy and I have. He
treats me wonderfully, is bright, witty and attractive, and he thinks
I'm just the bees' knees.
Well, so far so good, right? Wrong! This wonderful man (we'll call him Mark) and I have completely fallen for one another. Mark spends almost every night at my place. The conversation is sparkly, and the sex is even sparklier. But we've been together for just a month and we're already contemplating living together. I can think of nothing I'd like more than to start sharing my whole life with Mark, but I think it's a little soon. Still, I know it's going to happen sooner or later anyway, so why wait and keep paying rent on two apartments? ACK! I'm lost.
So, for starters, should I go for it and take the plunge into cohabitation?
I actually started to do research to answer this question, then I realized what I was doing and took a nap instead.
This has been a very hot topic lately, with a large number of people I know trying to decide if they are going to cohabitate or not. It's a hard decision, with each choice having plusses and minuses. Cohabitation has many things going for it, including lower rent and sex on the kitchen floor. It also has some problems associated with it, including the disapproval of family members and having sex on the cold, hard, uncomfortable kitchen floor. It's basically a crapshoot, so I've come up with a surefire method to determine if you should move in together: Flip a coin, if it's heads, move in together, if it's tails, don't. If you were dissapointed that it was heads, don't move in together. If you're unhappy that it was tails, move in together. It's quick, easy, and you get to keep the money.
Have fun!
