<p>OK so I am going to be on a co-ed floor this year and I am wondering whether people usually hook up and stuff with other people on the floor. Don't you think that would be more than a little awkward?</p>
<p>I won't lie.. it's been known to happen, and it's usually a short lived fling.. creating ackward moments for the rest of the year. If you're going to hook up with someone, just make it someone in a different building or a totally different floor so that you have less of a chance to bump into them later on after it's over.</p>
<p>Many call inter-hall hookups "hallcest"... perhaps meaning that it may be love, but people really look down on it. </p>
<p>I've (unfortunately) been there. Steer clear if possible.</p>
<p>I think most people in co-ed dorms have participated in "floorcest." Usually (meaning, almost always) a poor decision, but we make a lot of those in college...</p>
<p>If you think it would be awkward, don't participate in it. If you see other people doing it, just laugh at them. Don't worry about it.</p>
<p>What they said. Though you might be compelled to start relationships due to proximity and you feel you know them. It just adds to the unneeded drama on the floor. It's best just to stay away.</p>
<p>It's going to be awkward having to see that person all the time after things end...</p>
<p>Yeah, dont do it. Because those people will probably be your best friends all year.</p>
<p>I lived in a co-ed floor and while there were a few hook-ups with my neighbors, they weren't really any different from other relationships as far as I could tell.</p>
<p>I always thought it was called dormcest… but oh well</p>
<p>Happened a lot on my floor…</p>
<p>Don’t do it.</p>
<p>Go for it, its only awkward if you make it awkward</p>
<p>Beeish- it’s floorcest if it’s actually with someone on your floor, dormcest if in your building.</p>
<p>I know people who’ve had extreme awkwardness after hooking up with a neighbor, but I also know people who are perfectly comfortable speaking to the other person the next day.
I dated someone on my floor for a few months… that didn’t end to well though. But in all honesty it really wasn’t all that bad.</p>
<p>It really depends on you and the person you hook up with. If you make all these rules tho of who you can and cannot hook up with based in living situations, why not rule out people you have a class with so class isn’t awkward, or people in the same club so club meetings arent awkward, etc. Hook up with whoever. You dont know if it could actually lead to something real. Don’t let the fear of awkwardness hinder you in your quest for love and/or sex.</p>

<p>haha story of my life.</p>
<p>hallcest isn’t always destined to end in catastrophe. i’ve been dating the person living two doors down from me since september, and today is the last day of the semester. things have gone flawlessly. there was no drama on the floor except at first from the freshmen who thought hallcest was funny. basically, we’re happy and all is good.</p>
<p>It certainly would make things awkward, but there are some “success” stories. Awkwardness will never go away in life anyways…might as well go for it. Well…within my friends and their floors…
4 relationships have lasted all year
3 relationship-break-ups (ugly and awkward)
Countless hook-ups</p>
<p>

<p>Word. You’re only in college once.</p>
