Me and another girl are acquaintances and go to the same community college (Georgia perimeter college), and I kinda like her, but I can’t really tell her (well, I already implyingly or perhaps directly did, but I can’t anymore) because her and I are Muslim and she comes from an ethnic background that is fiercely anti dating and very protective of female kin. im going to be at the community college up until 3 years after graduation, her im guessing 2 years, and she’s 1 year younger than me. we’re headed toward different majors on different campuses. i want to still see her until the end of college, because our communities are linked, despite our ethnicities being different. because after college i want to court her. and i would miss her if i didn’t get to see her for 2 years and im scared ill fall for someone else or she will. our college is georgia state, which has about 51,000 students ad 18,700 go to perimeter campuses (which have multiple campuses) and downtown has remainder. what are some chances of seeing her? i’m worried i can’t talk about it with her because im worried about the reaction from her overprotective family, and cause we’re not THAT close. how does socialization work in college
That is a tough one, but the onus will be on your to make sure the connection sticks. If your communities are linked, make sure to show up and be available. If it’s OK for you to reach out to connect, do so. You can keep up connections but you have to put in the work. A lot of people don’t put in the work so connections falter.
