Would you date a guy that has a college degree, full time job, and still lives at home?

If he has a college degree and a job, why would he still live at home unless he either:\n1) is unable to take care of himself (lets Mom do it....again)\n2) due to student loans, cannot afford his own place - but could find someone to share rent if he WANTED to be grown up and independent\n\nNo, I did date someone like that once, briefly, until I figured that he was a typical "Peter Pan" and never was going to grow up.  That doesn't mean that is true of all people in that situation, but once burned, twice shy.

mmmmmmm A man who will not get a job and work to support his family or himself is saying alot about himself and his character!  And on top of it he feels he is too damn good to help around the house which is an even bigger crock of crap!  My hubby and I have been together 22 years and has worked 12 hours a day 6 days a week for the last 10 years in a row!  On weekends he helps with laundry- does dishes every Sunday just so I can have a day off.  If I ask for his help- he jumps right in with no hesitation!  This so called man of yours- well not a man!  Your feelings are correct!  Give him the boot big time!  You deserve sooo much better than that!  You deserve a man who is going to love you and respect your feelings and needs as a woman!  Life is too short to waste on this loser!  There r alot of men out there looking for great women!  and u deserve to have one of them!  Good luck to you!

Serious question here, and lots of things to consider.  Let's see if we can sort through all this.\n\nFirst of all, you say you've been together for seven months.  I wonder how old you and he are.  The red flag that jumped out at me is that you are both still living at home.  These days, I know that can mean anything from 19-29.  But if you don't have a steady job (preferably a career and a vocation), if you don't have your own transportation, and if you don't have financial independence, marrying is not a good idea.  He also needs to have a steady job, a vehicle and financial independence.  \n\nThat you are having second thoughts is a good thing.  He sounds like he still has a ways to grow up if he's still trying to leave home.  You sound like you have a way to go yet toward financial independence if you are living at home too.  When you say that you want to have little flings and talk to other guys, though, this tells me you are not ready for marriage because your heart is not truly in it.  You need to keep dating and work on your education, your job skills and your life management skills.  All these things are coming along, but don't sound quite developed enough yet.\n\nAlso, you should never have to pressure someone to marry.  A marriage proposal should come out of the blue with no pressure at all.  That someone feels the need to pressure someone else says that there is a power struggle going on, and that's a very unhealthy way to start married life.  \n\nThere is such a word as divorce, because there are many, many "starter marriages".  No matter your religion or personal beliefs, 50% of marriages in the United States end in divorce.  And divorce is a hard but positive thing ultimately, because there is no point living miserably.  Divorce is hard to go through, but people survive it, and go on to thrive afterward.  Sometimes, even with the best of intentions, things just don't work out like we plan.  People grow apart, want different things, change and life throws us curveballs to boot.  \n\nEnjoy your single life for a while longer yet.  You may want to keep seeing your boyfriend, or you may want to re-evaluate the relationship and see if you want to stay with him or move on.  Don't be afraid to move on.  Be more afraid of getting into a rut or becoming too fearful that you'll never find someone else.  Nonsense!  With six BILLION people in the world, no worries about finding someone to date and/or marry ultimately.\n\nGood luck with this.  Cheers, K

I don't see why they would. Some guys still have issues about being the breadwinner but a modern woman with her own home wouldn't want one of them anyway. I think that to most guys it will be a positive. It's a sign of stability and maturity. To the rest is will be a non-issue for a while at least.

it doesn't mean he's better than you..it means he has more money than you.\nhowever, a lot of people do not like to date outside of their class. i have a friend who loves me to death.. would ove nothing more than for me to give up my pee on job and have him support me and live with him. he pulls down over 6 figures a year. does he think of me any less b/c i have a 7 dollar an hour type job. no, b/c he sees that i have goals ambitions and whatnot..\nhave you ever thought you might just be fun for the guy?? sorry, but if you were important to him..than he'd introduce you to the family. obviously you aren't b/c he won't.. so it's high-time you make a decision of wanting to be with him or not and accepting how he treats you..

An average looker, I would rather have kids around the house, then have someone who isn't really into a relationship. \n\nI don't like to wait, and I like a guy that I can hit it off with. \n\nxoxo\nMaddi

Yes but it depends on how the relationship is long distance. If it's temporary( like away at college) then yeah if both are willing to make it work then it will work. If it's some type of 'i met him on the internet but he lives in another state...' then i don't think so.

I would probably date Orlando Bloom. Geez, he's a husband material. Nice guy to bring home to Mommy.

I met the guy I'm dating on the internet. He lived 12 hours away and wanted to come and meet me after about 5 months. I was in college and my professors and friends told me to have him come to the school to meet me. That way there were plenty of other people there and they could give me their opinions of what they thought of him. Never meet anyone alone where there are no other people or anyone you know. It's been over three years since that day and we are still together.

It depends why you moved ? If one of you needed space , then no .As that is an waking call . If it was because of money then yes because it's hard at first to get things in order .Enjoy dating each other .Too many people jump into Relationship just to feel not alone .Being with someone once in awhile is perfect for some people .It's nice to think about someone and look forward to seeing them ,instead of everyday unless you've decided to get married .Then hopefully you'll keep the smile each day when returning home .

That depends entirely on how your relationship with him. Whats sort of committment are you talkin about. If i were in your place i would go on and achieve what i wanted to, if they guy loves me he would wait.

yes I would... Sometimes you just don't want the hassle of a "full-time" relationship... "No strings attached" is not such a bad concept

If he'll be living close by, I'd suggest setting up a time once a week or something for you guys to spend time together, and don't let ANYTHING get in the way of it. Phone calls work too, but nothing beats actual physically being together.

If he was hardworking and not planning to bum around, definitely. I can think of a few men I'd consider dating even if they lost their jobs today. But to job search for 3 months and not do anything in the meantime isn't good.. especially if they are stingy with money and welcome me to pay for things.\n\nCome to think of it, I did date a guy who was out of work 2 years ago. He didn't really have a life goal/interest careerwise and it took him months to even get a job teaching snowboarding part time. I don't care if you work at freakin McDonald's, just be a man!! This was a turn-off.

Looks matter to a certain extent. I'll be honest and say I wouldn't date someone incredibly homely and 600 lbs, and most of you would agree. Personality is immensely important to me. He must be a good listener, and can't be arrogant.

Uh, this guy wouldn't have any time to date if he is working such long hours...So what is there to like about this guy?  Obviously he would be an absent boyfriend and what fun is that?
