As an upperclassman who has never yet been asked out by someone I could genuinely see myself dating, the wait can feel long and lonely sometimes. I have lots of friends of both genders and am active in a variety of campus groups. To the best of my knowledge, I am not an unlikeable person, so I don\u2019t think it\u2019s for lack of \u201cputting myself out there.\u201d Any tips on what else to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
-Still waiting for the prince to come<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P.S. Your paper recently ran an article on the most attractive person on campus, and I was quite surprised that the Collegian\u2019s own John Hatzis was not one of the people named. He is a man attractive inside and out, so I am surprised that (to the best of my knowledge) thus far unattached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the semester comes to a close, the pressure can mount as everyone pairs up and ships off for the summer. For upperclassmen, ring by spring has already happened, and now there\u2019s nothing left to do but make sure you finish the semester strong. Many of my friends have gotten engaged, and I couldn\u2019t be happier for them. However, finishing your degree without dating anyone feels \u2026 off, especially when everyone has already found \u201cthe one.\u201d My best advice is to live your life! Remember that a relationship is only supposed to add to the FULL life that you already have. It shouldn\u2019t feel like a missing puzzle piece out of your ideal life track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dating to marry is always the goal. Don\u2019t feel bad that the previous options weren\u2019t someone you saw yourself with in the future. Think of it this way: You didn\u2019t waste their time, and they didn\u2019t waste yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right now? I\u2019d say focus on studying for finals and figuring out a way to pack up everything that\u2019s spilling out of your dorm. I don\u2019t think you\u2019ll find your soulmate in the next seven days. There\u2019s always that 0.01% chance that you\u2019ll run into someone this next week that you haven\u2019t seen in the last three to four years you have been here, but that\u2019s doubtful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God\u2019s timeline is unknown to us, but all we can do is to trust in Him and let the pieces fall where He wills them to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yours auspiciously, M.B. (aka Dr. Love)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P.S. To the best of my knowledge, John Hatzis is currently unattached. If there\u2019s some interest there, I would recommend shooting your shot before the semester ends \ud83d\ude42 Who knows who John Hatzis might meet during the balmy summer months?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
