Is it normal for guys to just go with the flow?

I have been with my boyfriend since freshman year of high school and am now a freshman in college. In 2 months we will have been together for five years. I want to get an apartment near my college and live with him as I am ready for that next step. Yesterday, I realized I have been pushy about it and never really asked what he wanted. So, I admitted that I was wrong, apologized, and asked what he wanted. All he said was, and I quote, “I do not know hun I have not thought about it. Okay? I just went with it.” I asked him to think on it because I want him to want to live with me and not just do it because I asked. So, is it normal for guys to just go with the flow and not express that they care after 5 years? What was it like when you moved in with your other half?
