I've gotten to know his parents really well. I'm over there a lot. He's more of a homebody, which I don't mind, because I'm am too. Sort of.

He doesn't procrastinate when it's time to get things done. He's great with saving money, and I wouldn't say that he's lazy, he just doesn't seem to be very motivated to move out.

This isn't someone who has fallen on hard times and had to move home for a few months to get back on his feet. This is someone who has the means and the know-how to be an adult and simply takes the easy way out. He doesn't exactly sound like a prize.

I plan on being with him a little longer to see where things go, and if things seem to be the same, then I'm going to have to move on.

It's more difficult to move out, because it's so competitive now.

Is he just living at home due to the economy or job insecurity or is he just a bum?
