paigej91 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 After dating her for awhile (3+ months), would it cross your mind to maybe wait for her to graduate and obtain a job before actually settling into a relationship with her? Or would you go for it right away? I just want to know if there's a slight "stigma" to dating a girl who's still in college when you're 26 (almost 27)- he did tell me about the endless weddings and bachelor parties he had to attend in the summer and earlier this fall haha. My thought was that other guys and women that age would think dating a college junior/senior is too young and immature. Link to post Share on other sites
Keenly Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 You know, I've heard of guys not dating because THEY were trying to focus on school, but I have never heard of guys not dating a girl that's in school. Not once. Link to post Share on other sites

Not once. I don't think I've ever heard of that happening explicitly IRL either, but I would guess its something that stays inside the guy's head (or maybe within his circle of friends). I guess that begs another question: Would you tell her if you wanted to wait until she graduated or would you keep that to yourself (to potentially spare her feelings)?

USMCHokie Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 In a heartbeat. It makes me sad that I never got to do this...even when I was in college... Link to post Share on other sites
MrCastle Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I'm 25 and in college and would date a college girl if they were mature but in my experience the overwhelming majority is not. Has nothing to do with her being in school. I see it as a job like any other. You have to put in effort, and it takes up your time. That sounds like a job to me. But if she's immature I don't care if she's in school or not, I don't date immature people. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If she was mature enough, would you feel that others would give you funny looks when you tell them she's still in college still? He has commented on my maturity a few times before and said I don't even seem like a college student mentally (though I know I "look" like a young 20-something). Nor do I have the extra 5 years of life experience haha. Link to post Share on other sites
OpheliaSong Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 What is this really about? Did he break up with you because he is worried about what his friends think about you being in college? Link to post Share on other sites
Author paigej91 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 What is this really about? Did he break up with you because he is worried about what his friends think about you being in college? Lol! This isn't "really about" anything. I really just want to understand the male mindset of dating at this age compared to mine. Link to post Share on other sites
MrCastle Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 If she was mature enough, would you feel that others would give you funny looks when you tell them she's still in college still? [/Quote] No because I'm in college myself. If I'm gonna meet a girl either for a hook up or LTR she's more than likely going to come from the same school. We're both in college, no problem there. He has commented on my maturity a few times before and said I don't even seem like a college student mentally (though I know I "look" like a young 20-something). Nor do I have the extra 5 years of life experience haha. So he's saying you're mature for your age? That's a good thing. Link to post Share on other sites

JokerManDan Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'm 28 and a college freshman so sure why not? Like MrCastle said as long as she is mature and focusing ON studying and not constantly partying. Link to post Share on other sites
JokerManDan Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 And as long as she is LEGITIMATELY a college age student and not one of those "geniuses" that was able to skip ahead a couple of grades because she exceeded the SATs. there are alot of legal problems there lol Link to post Share on other sites
