I need college dating tips?
I’m a 19 year old female in college…and I need some dating advice. How is college dating different from any other age in someone’s life? I would like a boyfriend, but it seems like all guys just want to be single. It’s not like I want to get married, just a boyfriend would be nice. Any advice would be great on how to meet guys and turn them into more than friends. Thanks!
* DO look for people to date in your classes. They’re likely to have similar interests. In addition, you have a built-in way to meet them. "Hey, you’re in my English class, right? Did you understand yesterday’s lecture?"
* DON’T date people in your dorm– or if you do, proceed with caution. If you break up, you’re going to be stuck with each other for the rest of the year. If you do stay together, you’re going to be the subject of gossip.
* DON’T date your friend’s ex unless you are completely sure it’s okay with your friend. Losing a friendship is almost never worth it.
* DO be cautious about meeting people in bars and parties, especially if alcohol is involved. Yes, you can meet people this way, but they aren’t always the people you really want to get to know.
* DON’T date your professors or TAs. It might be okay to date them after the course is over, but be aware of the problems that come along with dating your professor.
* DO avoid drama. One of the hardest parts of about college relationships is that you’re surrounded by constant drama in your friendship groups. Keep your relationship as drama free as possible.
* DO be patient with one another. College is a very difficult and stressful time for many young people, so it’s natural that you and your partner will be dealing with a bit of baggage.
* DON’T spread secrets about your partner. This is always a bad idea, but it’s worse on a campus where gossip spreads quickly.
* DO go on dates outside of college. A little "real life" will do you good! Something as simple as a trip to the TGIFriday’s outside of town will be a nice break.
* DO watch movies together, either at a theater or on a DVD player. Movies make a great college date because they’re relaxing and cheap. Here are some ideas for college date movies.
* DO be cautious about dating multiple people on campus. If everyone agrees, there’s nothing wrong with this. However, you’re all bound to run into each other on campus. Messy situations are likely.
* DON’T cheat on your partner. Not that cheating is ever a good idea, but on campus, getting caught is very easy!
* DO be cautious about getting involved sexually. College is an emotionally charged environment, so sexual relationships get emotionally charged as well. Never, ever do anything you’re not completely comfortable with. Insist on using a condom every time. And there’s nothing wrong with being a virgin in college.
* DON’T ever drink excessively on a date unless you are completely sure you can trust the person you are with. Know your limit with alcohol.
* DON’T ever allow yourself to be alone on a date until you know you can trust the person you are with. Date rape as a serious epidemic of college campuses, and yes, it can happen to you. Always err on the side of caution.
* DO think carefully about getting engaged or getting married during or shortly after college. Many young marriages last forever, but many more do not. Never consider marriage because you feel it’s the "thing to do" after college.

Got something to say?
Just try to spot the good guys (they’re shyer usually). Don’t give up the booty for a month. Otherwise, trial and error is the name of the game. College is like one long series of hook ups and occasional foot notes. Keep your head up and have fun.

AMEN
guys in college just wanna have fun.
I suggest doing the same. Play the field.
When you finally meet a guy you want to make your boyfriend, try hanging out with him outside of the party scene. Ask for help with homework, ask him to lunch.
Drop subtle hints you are interested

Well, its not like high school. You don’t just ask them if they want to be your boyfriend. Its simple, just ask them to hang out. And don’t give it up the first time you hang out. Doesn’t matter what you do… play pool, watch a movie, go out to a party. And don’t make it implicitly obvious right away that you want to date him. Guys actually like being in relationships, they just don’t like going on a first date thinking about a year or two of shopping and meeting parents and once a month blood weeks. Just keep it casual and have fun, and you will find him sooner than you know.
