Living at home with your parents? I’ll bet you are in need of these six crucial tips for dating while living with your parents.
More and more young people are moving back home for all sorts of reasons. As financially, and maybe even emotionally, beneficial living with your parents can be, it can be a real bummer for your dating life. Here are six tips for dating while living with your parents.

Do you want someone you just met meeting your parents right away? What about sex? Will you have to sneak around? Does your bedroom share a wall with your parents?

Not to mention, how do your parents feel about you bringing someone over? Will your date judge you for not having your own place? Trying to date while living with your parents has its very own collection of hurdles. So, when that is your situation, how do you manage?

What it’s like dating while living with your parents

I am 27 years old. I live with my parents and have a boyfriend. Dating while living with your parents introduces a whole new set of awkward moments, nerves, and risks.

It all depends on how close you are with your folks, but even if you don’t share every aspect of your life, things can get uncomfortable. You have your desires and your parents’ comfort to consider. It is their house, so there are rules.

Are they okay with you having a significant other stay overnight? Will they have to meet this person or have them over for dinner? How do you balance privacy and openness? Well, it takes some getting used to. You need to find what works for you and your parents.

I am very close with my parents. So, if I went on a date my parents would know where I was going and who with, and I would keep in touch. I don’t have an issue keeping them in the loop about where I am or when I’ll be home.

Sure, I’m an adult. If I lived on my own, my mom wouldn’t be asking if I was coming home, but I am living at home so the rules are different. When your parents see you everyday, they have a right to know if you’re safe.

I know it is uncomfortable, but talking to your parents about this will help.

I started with the house dating rules I had in high school. And, I was allowed to have my boyfriend over with the door closed but no overnights. Then during college breaks, I was allowed to have my boyfriend overnight, but they had to meet him first and get comfortable with him.

As an adult, out of school, and on a budget, that is when dating while living with my parents got iffier. Netflix and chill is an acceptable and free date. But how awkward is it to have your date walk past your parents in the living room to sneak up to your bedroom? And then there is the whole telling the person you’re dating about your situation.

So, what do I do? Well, most of my dating has been online. That means I always meet the person in public. I will go on three to five dates in a public place before going back to my place or theirs.

By then, we know each other’s living situation whether that be roommates, parents, or pets. Once I feel comfortable inviting them over, I let my parents know that they are coming over to watch a movie.

We will hang out at each other’s place a handful of times before any overnights. And we have both met each other’s roommates. Yes, meeting someone’s parents so soon can be nerve-racking, but when you live together it is just part of that reality.

Sure, introducing your new partner to your parents after two weeks of dating when they live across the country can be weird. However, if they live down the hall, it makes sense.

It would be hard to date someone and share any intimacy if you can’t be alone in private together. So, if someone wants to get to know you better and you live at home, they sort of have to deal with that.

Once my boyfriend met my parents and shared a casual dinner with them, he stayed over for the first time. We keep the door open if we are just hanging out, and if the door is shut everyone in the house knows to give us our privacy and knock if they really need something.
