College seniors talking to college freshmen

<p>I am a college freshman. There is this senior at my university that constantly talks to me. Not in an annoying or harassing way, but just casual conversations on Facebook. The thing is, I don't know why he does this. I don't remember how I met him, and the only similarity I have with him is that we are both Asian. But there are plenty of Asians at my school. </p>

<p>Can you think of any reason why?</p>

<p>EDIT: Also we are both male. And he is not gay.</p>

<p>Maybe he just remembers how hard it was to be a college freshman and wishes there was someone who went out of their way to “show him the ropes.”</p>

<p>Maybe he thinks you’re cool and wants to get to know you better. But I really don’t know.</p>

<p>Maybe he’s gay.</p>

<p>It may seem unlikely, but maybe he’s friendly.</p>

<p>Is he in a fraternity? If he is, he is rushing you</p>

<p>A couple reasons - perhaps he wants to be your mentor of sorts and help you along in college. Perhaps he doesn’t have many friends and is reaching out to a freshman because he thinks you could use a friend as well. It is possible that he does this with all his friends and just likes to talk to people on fb. And then it is also possible that he craves the Asian connection, especially if he doesn’t know many Asians at school</p>

<p>^All of this and then there’s the extremely likely possibility that he remembers what it was like to be a Freshman.</p>

<p>prepare ur angus!</p>

<p>never thought the misc would make it to this website…</p>

<p>Maybe he just wants to be your friend and let you know that he’s there for you if you ever need any help. The transition to college life can be tough, and he probably knows that and wants to help make your transition easier.</p>

<p>As a fraternity guy, I have to say that it’s very true that he’s most likely trying to rush you if he’s a senior and you’re a freshman. One huge component in all social fraternities is friendship (brotherhood), and rushing you is effectively the same as trying to extend that friendship to you.</p>

<p>As for the age disreprency: once you’re in college, the age matters less than background in terms of socializing. Everyone is an adult, and it’s possible to have a meaningful friendship at some level when everyone’s reached a certain minimum level of maturity.</p>

<p>Maybe he’s gay.</p>
