But moving in together should be a longer term goal than "2 weeks after leaving the house", and I'm sure that is what Faye meant, and what both her and Aaron would prefer.
Lots of people who consider themselves to be "in a relationship" don't actually live with their partner immediately, some not for a long time, and a few never actually set up home together but are otherwise 'together'.
I don't see either Aaron or Faye as being what I would consider to be 'foolish' and rushing into cohabitation without having been on a few ordinary dates over 2 or 3 months minimum. Not for
them the rush into a 6 month lease on a flat (paid for by a magazine!) before they've worked out whether the attraction and the connection goes beyond the hyperreal environment of the Big Brother house - we've all seen how well that works out when 2 people realise they don't actually know, nor particularly like, much about the other when reality (
without quotation marks) intrudes into their ersatz idyll.
I'd much rather they commute at weekends and odd days to see each other - that takes effort, commitment and a real desire to "get to know" one another. By comparison, shacking up and seeing what happens just seems lazy and fraught with potential potholes. Why rush it if it's meant to be?
