I know we talked about this a little but I wanted to reiterate the fact that I think there is far too much pressure put on entering the post-grad world "experienced" in dating. I am so very glad that things turned out for me the way they did and that I never had a serious relationship in college and on campus. I was in a serious long distance relationship my senior year but i was always so glad it was long distance. I realized then I never wanted a serious relationship in college or any type on campus. There is WAY too much going on. Post-undergrad life is the FIRST time, for those who follow the run-of-the-mill educational path, where you're on your own, with your own time, with FREE time, when you can actually THINK about things before doing them. Figure stuff out. What you want. More importantly, who you are. Before you jump into a full-blown relationship with no ideas of what's going on. I saw too many people going through the steps of a relationship just to be doing it, without realizing everything they wre missing, or not understanding, etc.
Granted, who am I to talk about other's relationships. But for me, I was not the least unhappy to be "unexperienced" in the dating scene leaving college because I didn't feel I was missing something. On the contrary, I felt I had been given the opportunity to see more, before seeing less.
I have nothing original to comment. I just wanted to say I enjoy reading your column very much.
