To My Single Ladies Out There Searching For A Significant Other
To My Single Ladies Out There Searching For A Significant Other
Whether you care or not, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Valentine’s Day hits
everyone differently and it’s important to remember the purpose of this holiday: to
celebrate love. So, I asked a group of college seniors (single and cuffed) to tell me how
they met a significant other in college. Regardless if you’re currently in love, trying to get
over love, or searching for somebody new, here's some stories from students to remind
you that love comes into your life when you least expect it.
2.Lee Brice
“I went to a Lee Brice concert with my friends. We got there and my
girlfriends started talking and dancing with a group of guys. I was
standing next to one of the guys in the group and just tried not to be
awkward. We ended up talking, dancing, and eventually really hit it off. I
normally never did things like that, so it was spontaneous. I gave him
my number that night and we dated for 2 years."
6.Ghosted
“I met this guy at my friend’s apartment party freshman year. I didn’t
think anything of him until my friends told me he asked for my number
and “I ignored him.” I saw him again at my friend’s 21st pregame and
we ended up kissing. After that, his night was ruined when he left the
pregame and got a drinking ticket. We didn’t really talk until the next
year when two of my friends were with him at a party and dragged me
over to talk to him. We ended up dating at the beginning of senior year.
7.Finally Realized
"I had recently dated a guy for over 2 years. My ex’s friend invited me to
a random party, and I decided to go. This party happened to be at my
now boyfriend’s apartment. I went outside with my friends and found
myself standing next to this guy. We started casually talking and
we easily bonded. I kept running into him around and we became
friends. One day we realized we had a lot in common and both of us
were like “WOW I like you a lot.”
All these women have spent Valentine's Day feeling lonely or longing for a special
someone in college. It’s important to remember that Valentine’s Day is just a day. The
more time spent being sad about your singleness, the less time you spend enjoying life
and potentially meeting a great guy. Live your life. Have fun. Try new things and go to
new places because Prince Charming can pop into your life when you least
expect it.
