News everyone. Boots is in the market for a new place to live. My room mate informed me that he will be moving in with his boyfriend of 5 whole months. Isn't that amazing!

You know someone for five months, and you decide to move in with them.

You know them well enough, I would guess, to break your lease with the person you moved to the city with and sign a new lease with this PHENOMENAL person whom you have, obviously, connected with on such a deep and meaningful level.
