Keys to His Place
Ladies, if you're with a great man and you two have been together for a while, do not nag, push and/or irritate him for the key to his apartment or house. It's extremely immature to push him for something insignificant as that. Just because he doesn't give you a key doesn't mean he doesn't trust or love you. It may mean he's not ready to take that step yet, he may just need more time or he doesn't feel you earned it yet. Just don't be so quick to throw a fit, pick a fight, tweet it or badger him about it. And don't just jump to him cheating either.
Give him time. Some men look at giving you the key to their place as something huge. He has to really gauge this situation. Is he ready for this? Him giving you the key may be like you moving in and that just might be something he's not ready for. Some men, whether their in a relationship or not, need time to be by themselves and unwind. You having a key to his place may be unsettling and he may not be used to it. Let him be ready to do that for you. If he doesn't give you the key or offer it, maybe he wants a better place for you to see him in. Maybe he wants to keep his bachelor pad without a feminine touch. Or maybe he's just not ready. But don't push your man.
Respect his decision and rock with it. Continue to treat him as good as you always treat him. And when he finally gives you that key, you'll feel good that you deserved it as his woman, not nagged him for it.

My View: Men giving their lady a key to his place? Is that how it's done? Sorry, but even if I'm with a good woman, I WOULD NOT give her a key to my place. She can slide through when I'm home, but that's it. My home is my castle, the one place I need to escape the foolishness of today's world. Think about it, a man giving his woman a key to his place is a major step. He has to be comfortable enough with his woman to trust her with a key to his spot. No man in his right mind gives a woman a key to his place, especially one that hasn't proven herself. If a woman picks a fight with him over it, that's more reason for him to stand his ground. All she's doing is showing her true colors because if she's willing to trip over this, there's no telling what other petty stuff she will get upset about. To my knowledge, men don't ask their woman for a key to her place (at least not that I know of). It's not important to a man whether he has a key to her home. Think about it, a man works all day and wants to come home to peace & quiet. Not many men are used to their woman having a key to his place. I can agree with some of the reasons: He wants a better place for her to see him in, or he just doesn't want her living with him. That's ok. Respect his decision and rock with it. Continue to treat him as good as you always treat him. And when he finally gives you that key, you'll feel good that you deserved it as his woman, not nagged him for it. When a man decides to give his woman a key to his place, he wants her to see him doing good for himself.
