5 Ways Dating In College is Hard

In This Article:

College is a time of living your best life, but dating in college can be very hard at times.

Ghosting

There is nothing worse then waking up in one day to being left on read. When you snapchat/text them they still leave you on read until you never hear from them again. It can leave someone wondering what exactly went wrong, they can feel confused because as far as you knew everything was ok... until it wasn't. It does not take much to tell someone that it is not working out, not to mention it will make the person feel better to know what happened instead of constantly wondering.

sex is expected 

In my experience if a guy takes you on a date sex is expected. It is like the boys will actually be mad at you for not putting out on the first date.

You cannot say what you feel in the fear of "being crazy"

There has been so many times boys have done me wrong, and instead of telling them exactly how I feel I just suffer in silence. Girls get the label of being crazy just because they explain how they feel, and I think that is a shame.

There is never a label to anything

You can spend everyday with a boy for the past couple of weeks, spend the night with him, and text him constantly. However, the minute someone brings up the idea of defining the relationship things get weird and awkward.

You have to date boys who simply put are not it

When you are casually dating you can get discouraged quickly, you have to go through a lot of duds before you find a potential boyfriend.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
