I honestly lost myself in that relationship, I didn't make as many friends as I would've without him bc I was devoting TOO MUCH TIME to him. I broke it off with him bc I wasn't truly happy, I missed being alone a little and having great friends around. The reality is I didn't get to know him well enough before I decided to establish is. The worst part is he was soo lazy to make his own schedule for the spring semester, he copied mine (while we were still together) and now I'm STUCK seeing his face EVERY morning! AHHH IT URKS ME -_-

The problem, I think, with freshman boyfriends is people are so desperate to fit in they just grab at anyone, and girls go looking for boyfriends. That's not good. Remember: You don't NEED a boyfriend. Boys are a nice plus, but not essential.

I got a bf about a month into freshman year and now I'm a senior and we are still going strong. He's actually my first bf too. Colleen— just because a great guy is available now doesnt mean he will be in a few months. In fact if he is that great he probably won't be available!! some smart girl like me will already have snatched him up ;)

But then again I for sure understand what you mean about spending so much time with them you miss out on hanging with other people and meeting new people.

hum… I'd have to see. Maybe heavy flirting and no commitment? Ah! I won't know until I get there I guess. 1 week!

It's true–my boyfriend and I have both changed a lot during our college years (so far), but quite a lot of it is change we've gone through together. We live together, and we have a lot in common, including academic interests, but we have made an effort to take a maximum of one class together per semester so that we don't hinder our social lives by overdoing it when we're at school.

I was absolutely not looking for a boyfriend my first semester. I did not expect it at all, I just happened to become friends with this guy, and eventually we were spending a lot of time together, often pretty late at night, and getting to know him really well, and then before I realized it we were dating.

Based on what I watched classmates do, if it happens, it happens, and it has an okay chance of going well. If you go looking for it, you're asking for trouble.

I don't spend ALL my time with him, so I don't think it's limited me from meeting more people, and I don't regret dating him at all. :)

Of course, this may change, but I say go for it if you're still able to keep up with your schoolwork and if it's because you genuinely like him and not because you just want to have a boyfriend.

I'm on the side of NO DON'T DO IT! I got caught up in a guy actually liking me (I later found out some guys did like me in high school, but never told me), and ended up dating someone who was really bad for me for more than a year. It's pretty much the one and only thing I would go back and change if I had the chance.
