I [23F] recently found out that both my roommates, and long term friends, will be moving away this upcoming holiday season; mid-December to early January. I thought about the idea of living with the two strangers that will take over their leases and I'm not too keen on it. My other option is to get my own place (I've never lived without a roommate since I was 18) and I can afford that option so it seems much more comfortable to me.

Around the same time my roommates will be moving, my boyfriend's [25M] lease will also be up. He and I have been together for a year now and I've debated bringing up the suggestion of us living together to him. Now, neither of us has been in a long term-ish relationship until now or lived with a s/o, so this is all very new and uncharted territory to the both of us. I am afraid of rejection or him being scared by the idea of living together.

I'm getting to this point in our relationship where I'm ready to take a big step, I just don't know about him. I'm unsure of how to bring up this suggestion to him because I'm not sure how he'll react. What is a good way to bring this idea up to him without scaring him too much?
