"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Why a dorm? Why not an apartment?

Oh Okay...if you think it's worth it. To me, the required "meal plan," as well as the dorms themselves, are way overpriced for what you get.Kev07 said:because i'll take 1 year (2 if i'm lucky)of dorm experience, then after that they will kick me out to find an apartment
Also, the meal plans, as far as I can tell, only seem to really cater to what most people want, and that's not really healthy food. Plus, having an apartment means you can decide whatever food you want, since the supermarket has a much larger selection of stuff. There are numerous other advantages, but you asked about food so that's all I'm going to mention right now. You also don't have to essentially eat out everyday, you go only when you want. Even if you wanted to use the school cafeteria, you still can and just use cash or a credit card. You just wouldn't have the pressure of burning up the meal plan (if you don't you waste money).
But, the decision is ultimately yours. I just hope for your sake you still think you made the right decision after the first year. At least you don't have to stay the second year.

college food isn't as bad as it sounds. it can taste pretty decent at times too! just make sure you don't eat junk food. stay with healthy stuff like lots of fruits and water and milk!
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
there are several advantages to dorm living, at least a year or two -- developing friendships that last a lifetime, learning to compromise, etc. the people I know who never lived in a dorm (or frat house, or equivalent) are generally less well-adjusted socially. you've got the rest of your life to live alone or with one other person & eat whatever you want.Abbott said:Oh Okay...if you think it's worth it.
