Yes, it is possible for you to have a serious relationship if you both live with your parents. You can be very intimate without having sex. I would advise you to wait, and you will be glad that you did. If it becomes a part of dating and you don't save it for that someone who you marry, you will be disappointed when you do decide to get married. There will be no point in even getting married because there will be nothing new.
Also, I would encourage you to live with your parents as long as you can. It is a great opportunity to save some money. As long as you can get along with your parents and they don't mind you living there, I would take advantage of the opportunity. You can give them a little bit of money since I assume you are working out, and you will still be saving a ton of money. Everything is so expensive, and you will be so glad that you did. When you do get married, it takes lots of money to build a house and to raise a family. When the kids are little, it is really nice if you can stay home with them, but unless you have money saved, it is very hard to do. My best advice is to save and invest. You will be glad you did.
Save sex for marriage. You will be glad you did.

geechi3 is verified as being by the original poster of the question Well the only reason why I ask is that once you live together...a lot more compromise has to happen. You see each other a lot more and maybe things become less special? Also, because I go over his house...his mom is usually coming into his room and chatting....we can't be as loud (ahem)...we have not gotten a chance to do stupid things together like cooking dinner or doing laundry. I appreciate your insight!!!

What difference does it really make if you live in a home with your parents or a townhouse with your sister or an apartment with some roommates? It doesn't make your feelings for each other any less legitimate. You could live in a cardboard box, as long as you're in love, why can't it be serious? If you want to take it to the next level, try moving out together. If things don't work out, go back home. I lived with my parents until the day I got married, then I moved out with my husband, then I divorced him, and moved right back in with my parents, lol. All I'm trying to say is, I loved my husband very much, and living with my parents was not going to stop me from being serious with him, and it shouldn't stop you either. You're still a grown adult, no matter where you happen to reside. Best of luck to you hun!
