It depends on what they want out of the friendship, really. In my opinion, it's better not to make any assumptions about what they want in any relationship. If you assume they just want to be friends, you might hurt them. If you assume they want to be your significant other, you might hurt yourself. So it really depends.

I feel like each situation is different. Not every college student is into the whole dating around and partying scene. For example, I met my current boyfriend my freshman year of college and we hit it off right away. We hung out for about a month, neither of us having sex with each other or with other people because it simply wasn’t what we wanted to do. We started dating officially and exclusively in September of last year, and yesterday was our one year anniversary. Being with him has made me realize a lot of things about myself. I feel like if I hadn’t started dating him, I would have remained in the rutt that I was in and would have thrown away my education. He gives me fire and drive and I love him to pieces and I don’t regret not dating around last year.

I disagree, I think each situation is different and dating your freshman year is not always a bad idea. You just have to make sure you are on the same page as the person you are dating – (i.e. if you are exclusive, if it has long-term potential) – but then again, that is important at any age. As long as you are making the most of your college experience, that is all that matters. Some people love being in a committed relationship, while others thrive being single.

I disagree, this is what guys think (not all but most do ) and that is hooking up with a college girl. Remember just a couple of months ago freshmen were high schooler and on top. Now they are on the bottom and wBoant to make a name for themselves by trying to hook up with as many girls as possible. Boys will be boys is the saying right, so when i guy says hey whats good or whats up its not trying to get to know you but more like trying to get in you . Just remember bussiness first pleasure second

Well, let me tell you guys my story!!! lol

I began a fresh relationship right before I left for school, the thing is the girl that I was now dating was going to school 110 miles away from me. I started off going to class on time and kept things pretty much in order, until the realization of being so far away finally kicked in. We began to argue because she felt that I did not have time for her because I was always studying in the library with my new friends and fellow classmates. It quickly became overwhelming and I lost it…… To make a long story short she began driving the 110 miles every other weekend and eventually started to stay with me for weeks at a time. Everything was great before until she returned to her school and the jealousy and my time issues became even more of a problem for her, and her constant nagging and crying and complaining became a problem for me.Keep in mind that while I was trying to deal with her, I had numerous problems at school and at home with family. My grades subsequently dropped and I only passed 1 of my 4 classes!!!! She left school and we are still together arguing!!! '

In my opinion DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!

I disagree, it really is the "boys will be boys" talk you are argueing about. Some men just want sex or to hit it off, some want a bene-friend, others want what you want.

Honestly, not many freshman are prepared physically and mentally for that long term, so people go the easy way out, and like to just hit it off.

Yeah I met my (current) and first "real" boyfriend well into my freshman year of college. I was only 17 and just moved into my first apartment by myself, working full time, taking a full load of classes and became absolutely smitten with him.

He was a sophmore and into partying at that time, so I began to experience all the new things that come with that. (ie drugs) Needless to say, we ended up pratically living together for 6 months, I fell head over heels, started partying, ended up dropping most of my classes, and when we broke up I was devastated.

It took me another year and a half to get back on track after that… Well we've been back together for 2 years now- we've both grown up a LOT and he's graduating next spring. We're really serious and plan on moving together next spring, but I really do regret my freshman year.

I wouldn't trade meeting him for the world, I just wish I'd have had more caution and not messed up my schooling so badly. I probably would've graduated by now.

i completely agree. i started dating someone right at the beginning of freshman year. i should not have jumped into my first serious relationship at the same time i was jumping into my first semester as an independent young adult. i couldn't stay faithful and we broke up, which was really smart for both of us. we're together again, but now it's much different, since we've "been there, done that" with all the novelty of freshman year. we should have just skipped dating first semester–it's important to savor that freedom. i feel like crud for cheating

Dating as freshman really goes bad when it's the person's first real relationship . . . They always get overly attached and mixed with all of the freedom, it just becomes ridiculous http://www.digitalfuntown.com/videos/103
