<human>: So me and this girl have been really close friends for around three years and recently became romantic/sexual/non-platonic/what have you, and I really want to keep dating her.

She stayed in our hometown and I moved out last September to go to school across the country. She is planning on moving out to where I am next year, (she has other friends here as well) which I am all for, but here is my issue. She wants to rent a place with me and room together when she comes out in September.

My first reaction was "great" I would love to live with her if given the opportunity right now. But I realized that that would mean committing to being together for a year if we were both on the lease. That isn't unrealistic but I think that IF we break up it will be a mess if we still have to live together. I think that in the back of her mind she imagines that if that were to happen we would just go back to being friends but I feel like it will be awkward and unpleasant. 

So r/relationships, my question is this: How do I tell this girl that I don't want to live with her without her thinking that I want to end/slow down the relationship? I want to stay with the girl and grow closer to her, but I can't help but feeling that moving in together would be too risky.

Thanks fam
