Do you want the keys to his place?

Ladies,

Survey time!!!

1. Do you/Would you desire to have the keys to your man's place or car?

2. What is the value, to you, of having the keys?

3. Would you use them?

This bug-a-boo that I didn't like that gave me the keys to his car. It is of NO importance.

If my boyfriend gave me the keys to his car, I would feel as though he trusts me enough to keep his keys. It would also mean that I would be one of the few people he would call if he had car trouble or something. It's no big deal to me though.

keys to his pad means he trusts you to be there when he's not. Generally, that would be good, unless you're not looking for a serious relationship

I have had the keys to my boyfriend's apartment at the last two places he lived. There really was no "value" in having them, but I liked that he trusted me enough to come and go as I pleased. I used them all the time because having my own key really made things easier for the two of us. If I had to get up for an early class, I could easily let myself out and not have to wake him up to come lock the door.

Although I had his keys, he has never had a key to my place. The only reason is that I have a roommate and as a female, I wouldn't feel comfortable with her man coming and going as he pleased, so I didn't want to put her in that situation.

Back when I was younger, I used to think that exchanging keys was the "thing" to do, but now I feel that if I'm not paying bills up in his place and he's not paying them up in mine there's no need to exchange them. I don't really see having keys to a guys apartment as way to measure his trust for you. If a man leaves you alone in his space for 10 minutes, that's trust. It don't take us from the time he walks from the door to his car to start snooping if we're looking for something. It may be convient (sp?) at times to have the key, but it would be just as easy to meet up ahead of time to get it or leave it underneath the welcome mat for you to use when you get there. I remember dating a guy who lived in another city and he was usually at work whenever I came to visit (depending on the time that I arrived). On those occassions he would leave the house key sticking out of the dirt behind a little bush by his front door. I'll arrive and let myself in until he got home and that worked for me.
