Dating at Yale

<p>no, she's mine ;)</p>

<p>hehehe.. well considering you just thought i was a man, im not sure ill take you up on that. :D</p>

<p>hehe, just kidding with ya. lets pray i get into yale, and we will go from there. ;)</p>

<p>wait, so i feel like the lack of actual "dating" is a northern thing. no one dates at my school... </p>

<p>what do people think?</p>

<p>lol its true. athlon is an old friend.</p>

<p>'dating' here is synonymous with 'going out', although most people prefer to use the latter term</p>

<p>rani, we need to form a chatroom again on march 31/april 1st =)</p>

<p>lol.. for which school? i have like a gazillion to hear from. Yale, Brown, Northwestern, NYU (but not really because likelyish letter)...eek. so many. so many chatrooms.</p>

<p>I think that the dating atmosphere at yale is pretty good</p>

<p>I mean, just look at all the ec's and all the opportunities to meet girls.....</p>

<p>btw, my alum interviewer was hot!</p>

<p>we'll form a generic chatroom for all decisions! (did you apply to penn though? its decisions come up march 31 at 5 PM so i'm sure there will be a specific chatroom for that)</p>

<p>check out your post count, 777 - which means that you'll be getting lots of good news come april !</p>

<p>lol oh well, now its 778. Nope, no penn for me. I did boston u, but i also was already hinted i'd get in (and i kinda knew that) - and thats at 5. i think. no wait. it might be another one. i dont know. i might just wait for letters lol. I should really go to sleep now though. good night all!</p>

<p>i'm going to bed too, so much unfinished hw - i'll just wake up tomorrow morning to do it (i always tell myself this and it never works out) - peace out!</p>

<p>hahaha i never wake up in time to do any homework... my bed is too warm, hehee</p>

<p>I'm so confused. Dating to me can mean two things - Casual dates not implying a mutually exclusive relationship, or something more serious.</p>

<p>When I talk about my long term boyfriend, I say "we have been dating for ten months" or "yes, I'm dating M-----".</p>

<p>Are there not so many long term relationships at Yale?</p>

<p>I think less than 1/5 of my grade is going out ("dating"). </p>

im not directing my comment towards you specifically, rumbean...more towards the CC community in general...is the "c" in my username invisible...or hard to see? everyone usually gets every other letter right, but they either consciously, or inadvertently miss the "c"...it's SLIC, not slim....arggh

That's so weird! I've actually always been reading it as slim-lic!</p>

<p>My on campus senior interviewer was very hot. Like a younger Brad Pitt, he will unfortunately have graduated if I attend.</p>

<p>I thought Yale didnt give on campus interviews</p>

<p>Dating at Yale is ok. Most of it is random hooking up at parties, but for those who won't, there are plenty of people willing to go out for coffee or dinner or get serious or whatever. I'm deferred EA and I've already dated two! :D</p>

<p>I had an oncampus interview, but they are rare and only give a few of them.
They hadn't seen my stats because it was during the summer, so don't think it gives me a leg up.</p>

<p>no. actually, anyone who signs up early enough can have an on-campus interview, whether you travel from texas or north carolina or new haven.</p>

<p>slic---I have always read it that way too---optical phenomenon I guess.
Ok, we will have "a date" in New Haven (call it an anthro lab) but you better not try to pay or I will be outraged. Call me radical, but I am not alone in finding a lot chivalry to be demeaning to both male and female alike, and evocative of an age when women's favor could "be bought", and when a woman was presumed to be looking for a meal ticket. Roads in the east are horrible? How 'bout those clogged freeways? Most kids have a car by jr and sr year here, too. I think if you read some of the recent articles published in national news magazines, you'll find my description of social interaction more typical of our generation---whether you like it or not. Personal opinion is that if you ask someone on a "date" here in the northeast, you're gonna get some strange looks, so be prepared.</p>

<p>Laurenemma, you'll find, if you come to the "poor east coast", that the sentiment you expressed is what most northeasterners feel about the rest of the country. Amazing how regional stereotypes prevail in spite of electronic communication and travel...it amazes me that we are one country. Everybody looks down on everybody else.</p>
