The popular Jamaican saying "see me and come live with me are two different things" is the mindset most locals have when it comes to talks about moving in together. Check out your views for This week's Flair Magazine Vox POP Question: "When will you feel comfortable sharing your house key with the person you are dating?"

Anytime. Once I decide I'm with the person they can get a copy of my key to come and go as they please. -Damion W, 38

I would be out of my mind. I was dating the same person for four years and they never got a copy of my house key.That's a huge step.-Tandeka M, 26

Wishing the first 3 months of dating, you won't know the real person you are dating. Everything is fun and games. Give it a year before you start to even consider living with the person.- Ryan T,44

6 months to a year. After 6 months you must know what u want by then.When you hit a year mark you would have already found out if you really want to be with that person. -Yanique W,24
