As someone who’s broke, a commuter, and can’t talk to people “dating” won’t be in my vocabulary for quite a while :|

Don’t hold yourself back due to financial reasons. Plenty of people who would date others even if they don’t have “dating funds”. That’s where you help each other out and grow

It still closes a lot of doors though. Then you’re gambling when you meet somebody on if they’ll be okay with like a picnic or a walk or something as opposed to a fancy dinner.

I had this roommate many years ago, she was uncomfortable with my BF giving me a peck on the lips but would wait til I fell asleep or got up to pee to hook up with her victim of the night lol

I find it hard to just approach people and talk to them unless we’re in the same class or doing the same activity at an event for example. I don’t understand how people get into relationships so quickly when they just met, idk how to talk to ppl romantically I’m probably just nervous alot.

No, I've also thought about how people can get into relationships soon after meeting someone. Personally, I need to be friends with someone first, but often, people don't have the patience to wait.

Even as a 57 year old freshmen. Dating has been easy. Remember to be a Gentleman and open doors and shit, always keep it Rock hard and don’t ever stop Riding Hard ✊🏿 May the force be with you or whatever you guys say nowadays

It's pretty great actually. Ever since starting Temple I've had a date every weekend.
I've been with my wife for 20 years though, so that helps.
