Relationship Deal Breakers From Around College Park

It’s no secret that college dating is weird, to say the least. College dating is completely different from real world dating, existing in its own little bubble where almost anything goes. A lot goes into determining the boundaries of a college relationship. There's a multitude of questions to consider:

Are we just hooking up? Was it a one night stand?

Are we dating and not exclusive? Are we dating and exclusive?

Are we an official couple?

Was eating Chick-Fil-A between classes a date?

However you define your college hook-up status, sometimes it’s pretty obvious that things just aren’t going to work out in the long run. It’s all fun and games, until the guy who bought you a drink at Bentley's tries to borderline consummate the relationship near the outdoor port-o-potties.

We all have things that are total deal breakers. Here are a few things that turn off our fellow Terps.

Zack, 20, wants a girl who is “somewhat independent” and not needy.


When he “talks about himself too much, and forgets things I tell him or that we talk about.” – Ashley, 20

“Any type of artist ever…English major, philosophy major, musician, film, painter, etc."

–Mattie, 19

“When they aren’t circumcised.” – Sam, 20

"Long nails." -- Victoria, 21

"Having no goals in life." - Hyunjae, 20

If she has "a terrible laugh." - Miller, 20

If he “is a picky eater.” – Jill, 20

“When the person steals the blanket/covers mid sleep.” – Austin, 21

“She can’t smoke. Smoking is disgusting.” – Brian, 20. Sage, 20, agrees.

“Bad sex is def a deal breaker. And bad breath… also a deal breaker” – Ittie, 21

“When they are dumb.” – Kevin, 20

“When you come second to anything, especially drinking or partying.” – Lauren, 20

“Poor eating habits and healthy hygiene is a breaker… I’m a germaphobe, so I try to look for a person who wants to eat healthy and keep clean.” – Eli, 20

“When they fart in front of you.” – Olivia, 20

"Having a weird hairline.” – Katherine, 19

"When someone turns into an asshole." - Jillian, 20

"If I ever have to meet her parents, at any point in my life." - Benji, 23

"When they lack respect for your family." - Mary, 20

"Frizzy hair." - Chris, 20


So, there you have it. A comprehensive list of things to avoid doing or being if you ever want to have a relationship with someone on the University of Maryland's campus. OK, just kidding, this is far from comprehensive -- but it's at least a few things to consider next time your hookup tries taking things to the next level.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
