<human>: Hi reddit,  background..

I am 25/f, boyfriend is 28/m.  We've been dating a little over a year and my boyfriend is looking into buying a place in July/August and moving in then, and has included me in the process.  We originally have discussed moving in a year from now, but after going through this process I've felt more and more like I'd really want to move in with him.  I think he's receptive to the idea, and I'm not afraid to talk to him about it either.

Things are pretty blissful, we've already been on a several week long vacation and seen each other at our worst and have worked out ways to resolve conflicts.  I'm not worried things won't work out, and we're both practical enough that we'd come up with some contract or agreement ahead of time to take care of the "what if we break up" question.

I feel like my own ideas of when it's "appropriate" to move in together are the only thing holding me back.  When we'd move in, it would have been almost a year and a half, but I guess in my mind I always imagined you'd date 2-3 years and get engaged before moving in.  I get a little pressure from a sibling of mine on this (sister keeps saying I should live apart at least one more year just to keep some of my freedom).  In addition he travels weekly for work, so I would essentially have my own place over half the time.  I can fully afford to live on my own, so I know that the decision would be purely because we want to live together.  I am just a very logical, conventional person and would like to hear some advice from people who have been there and if they regretted not keeping a little extra freedom longer, or if in reality that doesn't really matter.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I would really like to move in with my boyfriend but am just a little nervous it's "too soon" and wonder if anyone has perspective/advice!
