Moving in with your girlfriend because you want to get out of your parents house sounds pretty convenient, but it's likely to cause more problems than it solves.
When you and your girlfriend are ready to make a commitment to one another you can revisit moving in together.

GOOD POINT! If you go into it for the wrong reason, then things may not turn out for the better. Also, I want to point out that it is harder to break up when you move in together. I had to give this a lot of thought before I moved in with Ryan, and even though there is no stated committment with moving in, there is a huge committment. We signed a year lease, so we knew that we had better stay together for at least that long. Also, you will buy so many things together that if you did break up, it would be a great hassle. Moving in with someone is practically like getting married, just without the ring and the parties.
