Make sure you look up all the college guides floating around this site. Do some searches for 'college' and friends'. They give you step by step instructions on what to do on your first days in college, which may the some of the most important days you experiance.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

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!
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
