I hate- HATE to use car metaphors with women, but in this case I must.
You should be with her long enough to know exactly where her buttons are (just the important ones), how she handles under all conditions, and how comfortable you can get before you can't see where you're going. Meet her parents. I agree that the moving in business should be 6 months or so, because that allows for an ample amount of time for exploratory procedures. It gives you a nice "i'm sure it's what I want" buffer. Don't forget that going too fast can be worse than too slow, and you apparently already know what happens when you go too slow.
Best of luck!
