So, here's the deal.... (86)
When you say they are retiring.....will they still be living with you??
cremebrulee: When you say they are retiring.....will they still be living with you??
Jesus no. They've got a little house in France they want to move to.
Alpha01: Jesus no. They've got a little house in France they want to move to.
Well then, what you're doing is commendable.....surely someone could see that.
Well done on the job front too.
Yes there's every point in trying to meet the girl who is right for you.
If how you are living is an issue for her, then she probably isn't the right one.

Alpha01: As some of you oldies will remember, last year I lost my job, couldn't afford rent, and had to move back in with the parents to get by. Not the best or proudest moment of my life.
Since, then I've gone and got myself a great new job with benefits and a raise from the old one, and permanency!
But..... here's the kicker. My parents have asked me not to move back out. Basically, they're retiring next year and want to sell the house, and sell it to me. This will mean in 7 months, I get to take over the old family home as my own and in the meantime, I'm taking over their payments, their bills and general upkeep of the place cause they're not up to it anymore. But that's not the question. I'm gonna do this no matter what cause they've always been there for me and if I can help them out now by taking on the heavy work and making sure tyey've a bit more cash for retirement, then I'm in 100%
The question is... Is there even a point in me trying to meet a girl till next year? There's been a couple I've approached and when they've learned that I'm 31 and living with my folks, they scarper, despite the circumstances. It's not like I'm too lazy to move out or have Mom doing it all. I do all my own cooking, cleaning, ironing and a lot of theirs too as well as the garden and general handyman work. But I suppose, if you break it down, I AM 31, and I AM living with them.
C'mon ladies, if a guy told you that story, would you run? tell him to come back next year? or not care?
Guys too, feel free to weigh in.
personally dont care, at the min im 27 still live at home cause i went back to college and cant afford to move out anyway but im also seeing someone who due to circumstances has had to move home too but it makes no difference to me Since, then I've gone and got myself a great new job with benefits and a raise from the old one, and permanency!

Last guy I went on a date with was living with his parents, similar story to your own. Wasnt an issue for me.
In the current economic climate it is not unusual for adult children to move back home.
I actually have the opposite situation, my son and his girlfriend along with the baby had to move in with me, has put a few guys off that all my children are still at home but thats their loss.

for me it wouldnt bother me at all
Whats another year? They have spent the best part of their lives rearing you so id say why not stay? It will be easier on them definitely and you can discuss your personal dating life(the fact that if you meet someone you may wanna bring her round)with your parents?
When they retire they prob wont be round much anyway,prob be in France,so you will be free to come and go as you please.Hope im being helpful.good luck.

If a girl doesn't want to see you just because you don't have a place of your own, then she's not worth bothering about.
A lot of different situations can effect a relationship, but if she likes you, your living arrangements shouldn't make any difference

jaysis you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth 
. . .you re in an enviable position by todays standards . . .no negative equity, good job etc etc . . .a most certain bird puller 
If those 2 women heard your full story like you told it there and ran . .you re as well off without them! Oh and if you and your folks can come up with a rent to buy scheme among yourselves without you having to borrow much you should save a packet on interest!

That is ridiculous!! just because you live with your parents doesn't mean you don't have any independence or can't do what ya want crikey I still go home to be mothered I do miss it(not that has anything to do with your question!), you obviously have an open, honest and respectful relationship with your parents which is such a positive and its so enlightening that you could admit that you needed there support when you needed it 
This sounds like a really positive situation you gain and so do your parents knowing that they will have a retirement fund for them as they get older and you don't have the hassle or bother of finding somewhere to live as it as eventually it'll be your home go for it if you meet someone its not a long term solution enjoy the time you have with your parents and enjoy watching them enjoy there retirement

I dont see the problem with the living arrangements at all, You'd be surprised by how many lads on here are living with their parents at the moment, If you meet the right girl she should accept you for who and what you are and where you live etc, maybe she might have a place of her own or yous could have some nice romantic get togethers in a nice hotel

Oh, doing it wasn't even in question. They helped me out so much when I lost my job, and a lot before then, so a year is nothing and I'll give up personal freedom for a year and meeting anyone if that's what it takes.
They won't be around at all when they go. I'll change the locks
But no, they may visit from time to time but as they said, they're selling it, not letting me live here so it'll be mine as if I'd bought my own house.

some people are very picky, i was at home myself for a couple of months when i was inbetween moves, and got the same as you from a couple of women, but not all, can you imagine getting with a woman like that she would want to run your whole life for you, Since, then I've gone and got myself a great new job with benefits and a raise from the old one, and permanency!

dont see alot of problem with it mate it just the way the country is gone at the mo and you have to do what is right to try and survive some of the ladys i have been chatting to on here are living at home.
Holy crap.
That's a lot of positive responses.
I would reply to each of you but you'll wear me out.
Thanks though. Pretty much all you've been saying is what one half of my head was thinking and those 2 girls kinda put the bad side in my head and was just curious how many think the way they do.
Not many it seems.
