Am I setting my expectations to high to say that I won’t move in with a guy unless were engaged?
I don’t believe in shacking up but what do you guys think?

My opinion, You shouldn’t move in with a man unless you’re married. I’m old fashioned. It’s too easy to just shack up with a man. You’ll be doing everything a wife would be doing, but without any commitment on his part. Don’t do it.,

A couple to get engaged they should know each other well .This need the couple to associate with each other for a reasonable period of time .This does not mean a relationship .Continue to meet as friends so that you will get the opportunity to know each other . If you feel that there is compatibility between the two then the next step is engagement .You are correct .You are a cultured girl.

If you’re uncomfortable living with a man before engagement, there isn’t anything wrong with that. You expect that if he wants to spend every day with you, then he has to propose - it’s perfectly fine. Although I’ve known a lot of people that have done it that way, lived together when they got engaged and then called off the wedding because they couldn’t stand living together

I'm a gal. I've notice in life, and sure as heck on HERE, that tons of people are engaged who will never get married. I don't think your expectations are too high... it's a good idea to have rules for yourself! Very good idea to set your standards and live by them. But an engagement does not automatically mean a wedding is coming. It used to!
It doesn't anymore. A person is either eager to marry you are they aren't.

It has nothing to do with 'expectations'. It's what makes you comfortable. It's YOUR life and you have a right to live it the way you want to.

Your moral compass is a bubble shy of true north. Engaged is still shacking up (technically), easy to break up after an engagement - no contract whatsoever.
