Back when I was younger, I used to think that exchanging keys was the "thing" to do, but now I feel that if I'm not paying bills up in his place and he's not paying them up in mine there's no need to exchange them. I don't really see having keys to a guys apartment as way to measure his trust for you. If a man leaves you alone in his space for 10 minutes, that's trust. It don't take us from the time he walks from the door to his car to start snooping if we're looking for something. It may be convient (sp?) at times to have the key, but it would be just as easy to meet up ahead of time to get it or leave it underneath the welcome mat for you to use when you get there. I remember dating a guy who lived in another city and he was usually at work whenever I came to visit (depending on the time that I arrived). On those occassions he would leave the house key sticking out of the dirt behind a little bush by his front door. I'll arrive and let myself in until he got home and that worked for me.
