Dating Tips for College Guys - Do's and Don'ts

 Dating can be a tricky thing, particularly when one is trying it out for the first time in college. Here are a few dating do's and don'ts for college guys looking to get into a serious relationship and snag the college sweetheart of their dreams.

Do's

Speak up and be confident- Nothing is more appealing to a girl than a guy who is confident and comfortable in his own skin. Show her that you are this type of guy by speaking up and not being afraid to show who you really are. If you have classes with her, for example, raise your hand frequently and participate in discussions. If you are in the same club or organization, be active and perhaps even take on leadership roles. Let her see that you are 100% self-assured and she will surely be impressed.

Be a gentleman - Look for small opportunities to be a gentleman for your girl. Small and simple gestures like carrying her books, opening her doors and walking her to class can leave a big and positive impression. By being a gentleman towards your girl, you are actually shooting down two birds with one stone-you are making her feel special and you are setting yourself apart from the rest. Never underestimate the power of a small gesture so remember to always be on the look-out.

Introduce her to your friends- By introducing your girl to your friends, you will make her feel both important and appreciated, definitely earning you points in her book. As a bonus, allowing your friends to meet your girl will also give them the chance to get to know her and let you know what they think of her. Allowing your friends to get to know her will also give them the capacity to give you advice on her in case you ever need it.

Don'ts

Slack off on your studies- Although practically all girls love attention, paying too much attention to your girl and not enough on your studies is a definite don't. Since college girls are typically more serious about their lives and their relationships, they are also after guys who would seem suitable to be serious with; in other words, guys who are fun and exciting but at the same time, ambitious and responsible. Show that you are someone worth being taken seriously by taking your studies seriously as well.

Spend too much time with the girl- As tempting as it may be to spend all of your time with your college sweetheart, it is important to keep a healthy amount of time and space apart. Enlisting in the same classes, seeing each other at every break hour and working in the same groups may be fun at first but usually lead to detrimental results. Spending too much time together may cause you two to become tired of each other and frustrated with the relationship. By keeping a healthy amount of time and space apart, the relationship has a better chance of staying new, exciting and fun.
