I certainly did in the first two years when I thought I'd leave for sure after that. But then I slowly started to buy things I needed no matter if I could keep them or take them with me. Just today I got an expensive humidifier! (that doesn't work at all, so I'll have to return it - if possible) ... I got a smartphone. I get all the things that I wouldn't have in my first two years here. I also would get a cat, but the only reason I don't is that I'm traveling too much. This has nothing to do with putting my life on halt.
I can see why you think it might be the same for relationships, but it's really not. Actually I'm sure it would be almost the same in Germany. I suppose it would be just easier to get to know people there than it is here.
I've given up on planning anything. I simply don't know for how long I will be here and I'm tired of thinking about it. I think it's also not good to think that I'm still 3 years here and postpone everything because "I still have enough time".
