Though this subject is a more targeted scenario, it is well worth discussing. When you're in college, there are tons of opportunities for dating. College campuses are not only centers of higher learning, they are a massive social network, and socializing can have some very beneficial results if you follow some of these tips.



When you're in college, there are a lot of advantages and opportunities that have the tendency to fall off the map once you graduate and get out into the real world. Since there are usually lots of mixed gender activities and events happening literally all the time on college campuses, this presents a much greater opportunity for you to meet women. On the other side of that coin is the negative that comes by virtue of all the drama, gossip, and stress that college campuses are oftentimes notorious for.

There's a huge variety of lists of the 'DO's and DON'Ts' from various authors that I could list here, but for the most part the following are the biggies to think about if you're in a college campus environment.

DO try and date someone who is in one of your classes. The main reason is that you may have more in common in the way of interests than what you've bargained for.

DON'T ever date someone that is in the same dorm or apartment complex. Your business is everyone else's already, and a break-up would only compound the issue/

DO be apprehensive about meeting women in bars and at parties. Alcohol personalities are way different from the true self of an individual.

DON'T tolerate the drama queens. Who has time for it? You're under enough stress already just trying to get an education. So tell her to 'Save the drama for your mama!'

DO try and show patience towards one another. It's only natural that you and your date are stressed out with the educational side of college life, so be aware of that baggage.

DON'T risk losing a good friendship by trying to date their 'ex'. Real friendships are few and far between in this world. Even if they say it's ok, I would still caution against it.

DO try to date off-campus once in a while. Chances are the change will do you good and you'll get to venture out into new territory --- especially if you're from another area.

DON'T even consider a date with one of your professors or even a TA. Though it may be a different story once the class is over, it's one of the biggest DON'Ts there is in college.

DO exercise caution when it comes to dating more than one partner. Most of the time this can breed some volatile consequences, especially if all of you happen to run into each other at the same time. That just gets too sticky to deal with.

Finally, DON'T get involved in the cheating game. Cheating in any relationship is just wrong, but when you are in a campus setting, it's way too easy to get busted for this.
