<p>As a college grad, seeing the words &#8220;college&#8221; and &#8220;dating&#8221; together in one sentence almost seems like an oxymoron. The [sad] truth is that in a college environment, traditional dating is very far from the norm. As we all know, dating culture in college = hooking up. There are still plenty of romantic hopefuls, though, who prefer to tread the traditional waters. Whether in college or not, everyone could always use a little guidance when it comes to the dating game. (And now that the new school year is quickly approaching, I&#8217;m sure a few of you undergrads are getting the jitters about picking up the pace again with that college boyfriend of yours!)</p>
<p>So in light of these back to school jitters, I present to you the 1o Commandments of College Dating&#8230;<span id="more-114574"></span></p>

If I have 5 classes today, does that mean that you will show up after every class? No one wants a stalkerish boyfriend (yes, they exist.)","post_excerpt":"","guid":"http:\/\/collegecandy.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/students-walking-large.jpg","post_mime_type":"image\/jpeg"},{"ID":114614,"post_title":"<strong>Thou shall not engage in excessive amounts of PDA on the quad. <\/strong>","post_content":"Other people can see you. Other people as in: oh look!, there's your Biology professor looking on as you and your boyfriend swap wads of spit. Keep the PDA to a PG-13 level, please and thanks.","post_excerpt":"","guid":"http:\/\/collegecandy.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/4448318457_76e5d2b8c1_z.jpg","post_mime_type":"image\/jpeg"},{"ID":114618,"post_title":"<strong> Thou shall not move in to my dorm room. <\/strong>","post_content":"I love nothing more than to spend lots of time with you but if I find another dirty sock under my bed or some smelly sports gear thrown across my chair, I will positively pull my hair out!\r\n","post_excerpt":"","guid":"http:\/\/collegecandy.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/dirty-laundry.jpg","post_mime_type":"image\/jpeg"},{"ID":114619,"post_title":"<strong> Thou shall not spend more time with thy frat bros than with me. <\/strong>","post_content":"You guys live in the same house, which means you have to see each other everyday. You're obsessed with one another, and that's great. But instead of sitting around staring at one another all day, maybe you and I can do something a little more productive?","post_excerpt":"","guid":"http:\/\/collegecandy.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/hearts-miami.jpg","post_mime_type":"image\/jpeg"},{"ID":114620,"post_title":"<strong> Thou shall not take me to the dining hall as a date. <\/strong>","post_content":"I know how dependent you are on your meal card, and I understand how much you love the cafeteria tater tots. But after that one time when you literally got dressed up to take me out and then brought me to the dining hall...I really had to question our relationship. And your sanity. Trips to the dining hall do not count as dates!","post_excerpt":"","guid":"http:\/\/collegecandy.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/lg-college10_dining-hall.jpg","post_mime_type":"image\/jpeg"},{"ID":114615,"post_title":"<strong> Thou shall not talk excessively whilst in the library. <\/strong>","post_content":"I'll be honest, I didn't want you to come with me to the library to begin with. But you complain that I study too much (which is silly) so I invited you to come along. Please stop talking so much. I've already re-read this page at least 3 times because you keep interrupting me with commentary on the movie that you're watching on your laptop.\r\n","post_excerpt":"","guid":"http:\/\/collegecandy.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/college_students_studying_in_library_u19292223.jpg","post_mime_type":"image\/jpeg"},{"ID":114623,"post_title":"<strong> Thou shall not try to hook your friends up with my friends. <\/strong>","post_content":"Listen babe, your friend is a creep.

You know how they say women mature faster than men? That holds especially true in college. In fact, I think the maturity progression for many males actually comes to a complete halt for their 4 college years...","post_excerpt":"","guid":"http:\/\/collegecandy.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/college-dating.jpg","post_mime_type":"image\/jpeg"},{"ID":114621,"post_title":"<strong> Thou must not let the ball drop during summer vacation and winter break. <\/strong>","post_content":"If we are dating, then our commitment to each other can't be a part time gig. Let's agree to work at maintaining our connection when school's out over the summers and during winter break. Staying connected is incredibly important!","post_excerpt":"","guid":"http:\/\/collegecandy.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/pd737444.jpg","post_mime_type":"image\/jpeg"},{"ID":114617,"post_title":"<strong> Thou must be fully committed, just as if we were dating outside of college. <\/strong>","post_content":"Let's not make up imaginary rules because we've decided to date while we're in college. Being open and honest about the way things are between us and where we'd like for them to go will surely clear up any confusion that may come along later on. Simplify things by keeping consistent and maintaining an open line of communication between the two of us.","post_excerpt":"","guid":"http:\/\/collegecandy.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/07\/couple-talking.jpg","post_mime_type":"image\/jpeg"}]};</script><div class="clear"></div><div id="omgal-col-outer"><div id="omgal-container"><div id="omgal-slide-interstitial"></div><div id="omgal-slides"><div id="omgal-load"><img src="/wp-content/themes/vip/collegecandy/js/assets/ajax_loader.gif?ggnoads"></div><div id="omgal-slides-inner"></div></div><div id="omgal-slide-title"></div><div id="omgal-slide-caption"></div><div id="omgal-slide-credit"></div><div id="omgal-count">initiating the gallery...</div></div></div>
