OK, so here's my input on this. Since you haven't been at Pixies that long, I should fill you in a bit of my background, so that you know that my advice is coming from a 'credible' source of experience:

I met Fussypucker here at Pixies 4 years ago - we dated long distance (about 90 miles) for a year before he moved in with me, leaving his family, job etc. We got on so well, that after a couple of years of living together we got married, moved house and now have a 4 month old son. So yes, LDRs can work out - ours did.

HOWEVER, it's a risk - a HUGE risk. You have no idea whether it's going to work out on a day to day basis with someone until you've had to do it, and only experience will tell you. My advice is not to move in together if you have doubts, and if you are moving in together make sure you spend lots of time together before it happens. Both take a fortnight off work and spend the time together to see how it works out. You'll know after a week whether you'll be happy or drive each other so crazy that it doesn't work out.

On the plus side for your situation, if he's returning to somewhere he once lived, he'll have friends and/or family to rely on, which will make it less difficult for him to adjust and if it doesn't work out, then you're not leaving him high and dry.

On the minus side, your doubts about whether or not this relationship is for you do need to be taken into account. I recommend you spend some time REALLY thinking and listening to your gut. I suspect there's a little tiny voice in there telling you what it thinks one way or the other. With my ex, there was something always telling me it wasn't going to work out, that I wasn't that committed and it took me a long time to start listening to it, but it was such a relief when I did.
