I first met Leah about 2 years ago and asked her out, she said she was flattered but that she was seeing someone else. Well, about a year goes by and I see her last summer and asked her out again and she said “yes”. She had broke it off with her prior and my timing was good. So, we went out a couple of times and then I never called her. Dummy, I know. I think I was afraid of it not working out (past relationship issues) and didn’t want to go through the pain of it failing. Then I see her at the store about a month or two ago and she says “hi” and ask why I never called her back. I told her that I just had some stuff going on and she said to call her. So I did. We’ve been seeing each other fairly regularly (not sealed the deal yet) and get along pretty well. She seems to like me and I dig her but we’re just getting to know each other. So, today she tells me that she just got a 30 day notice to move because her landlord is putting the house up for sale. I live, and own, a smallish 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath home in a nice area of South Lake Tahoe. You see where I’m going with this, right. Is it too early to offer her a place to live (my house) when we’re at this new stage of our relationship? I don’t want to screw anything up and right now things are going good, but it seems too early for cohabitation. Do I let her move into my spare room but quit dating for a while and just be roommates till she finds her own place? Or do I offer her the spare room but want to keep dating? Or do I just not offer at all? I don’t want to fall into the dreaded “friend” zone where I’m the “nice” guy (like a brother) who helps her out. That’s a trap for me cuz girls never think sexually about guys who are like a “brother” to them and then I’ve “niced” myself out of what so far has been a pretty cool relationship.
