Have a girlfriend in college. Major Grass is greener on other side syndrome

[Sofomore]

Hi there,
I am a junior in college who has been stuggling with "urges" to meet other women. I have an amazing girlfriend who I care for and vice versa. We have been dating for about 8 months but I am missing my days trying to pick up girls.

Some may say this is a huge case of "grass is always greener on the other side" and I agree. Yet I cannot stop checking out other girls and imagining my conversations with them.

What should I do? I truely have nothing against my current girlfriend its just that I miss being single and I know this is the only time in my life where I can meet this many girls.

Any advice from some older guys?

I am from the school of this: If you have something good, you hang onto it. Does that answer your question?
If you and the current girl are serious then you are thinking wrong. However, if she is just another girl DATE ALL OF THEM.

Just my opinion. Your age does play a part in this too. How old are you, early twenties?

Now at my age, I just want to hit them all and really nothing else UNLESS a good one pops up. I have been single for a while and it too gets old. On the flip side, I do not have to put with a load of garbage from a woman.

Honestly, if you feel like she is a big huge anchor attached to your ankle then cut her loose. Like you said, you only have a limited amount of time in college, and it is so easy to bang other classmates during this time. So you got to decide which is more important. Being held down by one girl never really knowing how long it may last or if after college she decides to move and leave you, hoping it will "last forever". Or seizing the moment to bang as many woman as you possibly can while the opportunity is still in sight.

Which is more important to you?

Thanks for the responses. I am still torn between what I could be doing right now and what I am doing. Its very hard for me to just break up with a girl that I have no problems with, aside from the fact that I am unable to be SINGLE.

I just don't see myself breaking up with her for no reason.

Yeah, I get this sometimes too. Plenty of options on the table, don't know where to go with it. In a relationship you'll always feel this occasionally. And it's really a matter of gauging how much of it is "grass-in-greener" and how much it's a genuine need to get out of it. It's very important that you think on it every time it comes up, because you don't want to make any rash decisions but you also don't want to stay in a relationship for no reason.

As for me right now, I'm definitely feeling it. And I'm taking the advice of my good friend, he told me to wait on it til' winter, when the girls are all bundled up and I can make a more rational decision... Seems about right to me. Best of luck.
