The first year of one¡¯s college career can be a highly tumultuous and confusing time, but it affords more opportunities to meet new people and experience new things in a short period of time than just about any other social institution. Every freshman wants to make new friends when they first get there, but a lot of guys are especially interested in finding a significant other, which is not always easy. However, I hope these suggestions will help male college freshmen out in that endeavor.
The first step in meeting a future girlfriend is obviously to meet people. Thankfully, most colleges and universities bombard new students with activities meant to encourage meeting people. Be sure to take advantage of these one-of-a-kind orientation events, and attend as many as possible. After all, the more people you meet, the better your chances of finding somebody who you really ¡°click¡± with. Joining a variety of social or academic clubs on campus when they are offered is another good way to meet a whole new group of people. Also, if you live in a dormitory on campus, try leaving the door to your room open for the first week of school, if you are able to. This generally gives the floor and your room a feeling of openness; an invitation for people to walk in and introduce themselves to you, regardless of whether or not they even live on your floor. Finally, while it is perhaps a bit clich¨¦, and not entirely recommended, house parties and the like offer a lot of people to meet in a small social atmosphere.
Even if you are incredibly shy, and not used to making new acquaintances and talking to girls, you still have a major benefit as a college freshman; that is, most everyone else you talk to will be in the same boat as you are ¨C a new student in a strange place, possibly homesick, and trying to make friends. Plus you very likely come from completely different hometowns or cities, and thus, probably can come up with quite a lot to talk about. So don¡¯t be afraid, be yourself, and most importantly, try and have some confidence in yourself. Few things make a better first impression on somebody, especially a member of the opposite sex, than a guy who exudes an air of confidence. You don¡¯t have to be the best-looking guy on campus (though it does help to be looking your personal best when you are meeting people), but if you have some self-confidence while talking to a girl, you will leave them with a very positive mental image of you.
So now you¡¯ve met some girls, and want to ask one out on a date, what do you do? You probably do not know the town the college is in all that well yet, and you can¡¯t very well take her out to dinner at the campus cafeteria. One very simple idea is a picnic, or a scenic walk. Both can be very romantic and afford a lot of conversation time, plus you could very easily do the both of them on or near your campus. If you would still prefer to go on a more formal date, try asking a resident advisor or other upperclassman, or somebody you know is a native of your town where a nice restaurant, theater, or other date spot is. They most likely have been through the same challenge you have, and can help you out with ideas.
Finding a girlfriend usually is not a cake-walk, but if you recognize some of the advantages of looking for one in college, and utilize them to the fullest with confidence and a bit of charm, it should be hopefully a little less stressful. Leaving you, of course, more time to stress out about your classes. |
