<p>High school senior year
Basically it didn't work out between this girl and I, we dated for over a year, which feels like forever in a HS relationship. I really thought she was the perfect girl, I was willing to extend it all through college. Unfortunately though, didn't happened.</p>
<p>So that got me thinking, what's the possibility that college will have that "perfect girl"? Everyone always says it, like, "oh yea just wait for college, you'll find the one for you eventually".
Is any one of you guys/gals currently in a relationship with someone you met freshman year?
I just feel like with all the partying, promiscuity that most people associate with college life, it would be hard to settle down and have a serious relationship.</p>
<p>Not everyone in college parties, and there are plenty of people who do party and are in relationships who just party together.</p>
<p>Anyway, I’ve been in a relationship with my current bf since sophomore year. He graduated, and we’ve been together for around 1.5 years, and things are still fine.</p>
<p>I am, I am a junior and met my fiance in February of my freshman year of college. I met him at the one party I ever went to… haha. You don’t have to take part in the partying and promiscuity if you don’t want to, more people abstain than you realize, and there will be girls out there that aren’t into that either. If the partying/promiscuity is something you feel is a necessary part of your college experience, well, maybe you’ll meet someone that will change your mind-- and it’s not as if you die as soon as you graduate, anyway. My sister met her husband after college, and my parents never even went to college and still found each other. There will be plenty of opportunities to meet people if you make them, no matter what stage of life you are in.</p>
<p>Nobody’s perfect. Love is the ability to see beyond one’s imperfections.<br>
Of course, people can’t really see past things that aren’t there. So I’m good ;)</p>
<p>Your current idea and stereotype of what college life is like is exagerrated and a bit off base.</p>
<p>If anything, relationships are more common than casual relationships, at least at my university.</p>
<p>People probably associate college life with promiscuity because for a lot of people, college is where their sexual life first really begins or expands - so a lot of people associate college with sex - regardless of whether it was all had in a series of monogamous relationships or not.</p>
<p>It seems a lot of people here actually, when they find someone willing to tolerate them and sleep with them - they hang on to that person like grim death. Well, at least for six months or so, but possibly for two years or even marriage proposal ('til death).</p>
<p>But yeah, there is certainly a casual hookup scene (which you don’t seem to care for) - but if you want a serious relationship — you’ll have no trouble at all finding a girl who wants that.</p>
<p>Remember you’ll only be 22 when you graduate from college. Most people get married in their late 20s. I find the notion of finding your future spouse while you’re still a teenager/early 20something absurd and terrifying.</p>
<p>I’ve been with my girlfriend since roughly the end of new student week my freshman year (finishing fall of Junior year now). Perfect? No one’s perfect. Do I love her? Yes.</p>
<p>It’s taken lots of hard work and struggle through hard times to get as far as we have, but it’s been worth it by and large- but very few people are looking for a life partner beginning of freshman year. I don’t think I was, and still don’t know if I have one. But time will tell.</p>
