Dating freshman year of college

Recommended for you

Coming into college we think that life will be the same as high school, but it is radically different. We think life will be just as easy as living with mom and dad when it is so far from it. You may have had a boyfriend or girlfriend senior year of high school that you just can't let go. However, if both of you go to different schools, I'm sorry to say it will be over. Being single as a freshman in college is one of the best decisions I've made.

As a second-semester freshman, I have had plenty of experience with freshman boys. I had high expectations going into college, and I was determined to find a boyfriend. I also imagined all boys in college were perfect and insanely mature compared to high school. News flash: nothing changed. Still, I had high hopes. It didn't matter if I was in some sweaty frat basement or walking to class; I was going to find the boy I would spend my next four years with. Clearly, that never happened.

If you knew me as a college freshman, you would know a few things. I loved to flirt, gossip, and throw a good party. I cared more about my social life than my academic life, and will definitely tell you I had a lot of fun during that first year of college! I dated a lot of different boys and had both good experiences and bad ones. And a lot of those bad experiences could have been avoided if I knew then what I know now. So for those of you who are freshman or are dating others seriously for the first time in your life, let me share a few things.

What Freshmen Should Know about Dating in College

Going into my freshman year of college , I really wanted a boyfriend. In retrospect, I think it was a defense mechanism because I was so terrified of making new friends. I was so close to my friends from home that there was a part of me that genuinely thought making any new friends was sort of cheating on the ones I already had. I met someone at a party my third night of college.
