Ever fallen in love in college?

<p>Was it complicated or was it one of the best parts of your college-life thus far?</p>

<p>Wouldn’t say I fell in love, I never have. But I did develop some serious feelings for one girl. </p>

<p>I ended up leaving it alone, it didn’t worry me too much plus being single in first year of college sure makes the parties fun.</p>

<p>It was really complicated. I fell in love with somebody who was addicted to alcohol/drugs. He ended up going to rehab and it was just awful. Imagine being with someone who doesn’t want to help themselves, who has an otherwise stable life and someone who loves getting high more than they care about you.</p>

<p>I was in love with him as a person but I’m not sure I would call it “love.”</p>

<p>I was in a relationship for the majority of my freshman year with a guy I met in class. We had (still have, actually) a lot of mutual friends, and hanging out with all of them together was <em>easily</em> one of the best parts of my year. The relationship added a lot to my college life, I think. However, it was also a distraction from my school work. I sometimes felt like I couldn’t do certain activities or attend certain events because I had to spend time with my boyfriend. I did love him, but in the end the relationship didn’t work out, and now I’m faced with the prospect of starting my sophomore year in a rocky place with him and our mutual friends. So…it’s complicated.</p>

<p>Yeah always depends on who they are friends with/how you know them. That’s where complications arise if it doesn’t work out.</p>

<p>Like I said before though, being single in the first year is alot of fun.</p>

<p>I fell in love in high school, and I fell in love in college. </p>

<p>In college, I am in a wonderful relationship. After getting together and falling in love with my boyfriend, my college life got so much better. I inherited a new group of friends and we’ve made our own. I know that I always have someone to support me, no matter what is going on. Both of our grades went up after starting to date. We bring out the best in each other. He’s a very involved person (a capella group, theater, etc) but not a very confident person. I was the quiet girl who didn’t get involved in anything really. He brought me along and I got involved with some wonderful organizations that I didn’t have the guts to get involved in before, and I brought out his confidence. We already had a lot of friends in common and we have adapted quite nicely to each others’ friend groups.</p>

<p>It can be an absolutely wonderful experience if you’re with the right person. I don’t regret the 5 years I spent with my ex throughout high school, as we were perfect for each other <em>at the time</em> and I am loving being with my guy right now. It has made my college experience infinitely better :). </p>

<p>/gush</p>

<p>You girls have genuine love stories, I feel like such a typical guy just out of the emotional loop haha</p>

<p>^ Haha the funny part is, I am generally the non-sentimental one in the relationship. He’s generally much more of the gusher than I am.</p>

<p>After reading that I feel like a typical guy too! Honestly I’ve been in love but that ended and well…had to move on. I don’t regret it but I tried my best and I’m ok with that.</p>

<p>^ Haha, I would say you’ve done well then. You’ve made a guy completely emotionally dependant on you, that’s a win for you haha.</p>

<p>It sounds terrible, but I just can’t empathise with people when they talk about love. I wonder if i’m just stone cold or have unrealistic expectations of women I could be in a relationship with. Or maybe I just enjoy the benefits of being single too much. Ah well, time will tell…maybe.</p>

<p>Different strokes for different folks. I am the type of person that loves being in a relationship and so is he. I know a lot of people who can’t stand the thought of being committed to one person. It’s whatever makes you happy :). </p>

<p>The only thing I can’t stand is when people say you should or shouldn’t date in college. It drives me nuts. Worry about your own life, not someone else’s.</p>

<p>Nope. Have yet to find another lemon. </p>

<p>Is it weird that I don’t ever want to get involved with this sort of stuff?
Don’t want to fall in love, date, any of that.
Too much drama.
Too much emotional investment.<br>
that and the risk of sex. omg I never ever ever want to have sex.</p>

<p>inNeedOfPencils - I assume that was sarcasm when you said you never want to have sex?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s normal and weird at the same time.</p>

<p>Maybe. IDK, I’ve never once told a girl that I loved her, because I wanted the first time to mean something. I never want to say it if I don’t mean it or just to say it like so many of my friends do. There is a girl, were not together, were just really good friends right now. Honestly, she’s one of my best friends and I hope that I always have her in my life. Is it romantic? I wouldn’t mind, but she’s made it clear that she has too many personal problems going on and doesn’t want a relationship with anyone until she can get her own life under control. i’ll just say I might love her lol</p>

<p>I fell in love my freshman year. I’ve been with her for 4 years at the end of the month.</p>

<p>I hope I don’t fall in love during college…</p>

<p>^ Out of curiosity, why do you say that?</p>

<p>This might sound strange, but I do not want to date until I’m at a point in my life where I could potentially get married.</p>
