    until you are married then keep the financial commitments separate .... people change quickly and u may be tangled financially when u want to leave.. so dont.. have the other party get backing from a family member.. if however its you there are ways of establishing credit worthyness without asking your date..

    If it's a serious, long-term relationship and you both a) expect to actually make the payments and b) be with this person for a while after the ink on their co-signature is dry, I think that it's completely appropriate.

    I don't think it is a good idea to get involved in a business agreement with a boyfriend or gf. Just not smart, because if you break up, even tho you think you won't right now, they could really screw you, your credit score, etc.

    It's not wrong unless you don't know if you 2 will be together for the length of the loan.

    I'm curious you call it dating you don't say in a relationship.

    So what is the relationship?

    I think this has a lot to do with the way you feel about the relationship and how you feel about asking.

    It is not wrong to ask, but don't be surprized or angry if they turn you down. Ask your parents or siblings first.
