So I like to put myself out there sometimes and dip into the dating world and let me tell you, there's not much out there in college. You have the frat boys, the nerdy boys, the mama boys, the super socially awkward ones and, worst of all, the gamer boys. There's really not a great selection to chose from and either way, someone is going to get hurt.
I recently decided that dating while in college is pointless.
We live in an age where many of us use tinder, bumble, and many other dating apps. This entire generation has basically become what is known as the "hook-up" generation, and while many of us don't necessarily follow this pattern, we're all affected by it. Most boys just want things to be extremely casual and nothing serious and while that's fine for most girls, some of us are put in an awkward position where we don't want to get married but we don't want casual.
What happens to the girls that don't want something super serious but aren't into the whole FWB deal? Sorry, but if I'm friends with a guy that's all we are, nothing else. If that still doesn't make sense, then I encourage you to listen to the song FRIENDS by Marshamello & Anne-Marie.
Yes, in college you should be looking for your future bridesmaids, not your groom, but that still doesn't mean I'm into just "hanging out."
I get that most boys in college are scared of commitment, but that's also not what I'm asking for here, I'm just asking for a bit of respect. If you have been friend zoned, there's obviously a reason for it and it should then stay that way. If a girl isn't interested, stop persisting and just leave her be.
If you take a girl on a date, it doesn't automatically mean she's going to go home with you.
