Freshmeat Females in College

Being a Freshmen in college is a very difficult task; dealing with being away from your friends and families and the norms of life, balancing your social, academic, personal, and spiritual life can be very overwhelming. Every girl wants that one guy to be their prince charming and to sweep them off their feet but that may not be ordained for freshmen year,its really about learning the ropes. Here are some tips to sustain a healthy college experience especially to frehsmen ladies.1. Do not show a guy especially an upperclassmen that you are interested in him first.-If you guys exchange #'s always leave the ball in court, meaning if he doesn't write you within the first four days of him having your number he isn't interested. Never allow him to feel that your feelings for him are greater than anything else.2. Be very careful of who you give your # too.-I gave this boy my number about two weeks ago (he was not a student of CAU)I texted him and he replied and asked me for $70 to pay his phone bill. I was shocked that i just met him and he was so bold to even ask me that. Guys will try to sweet talk you but you have to stand your ground.3. Always establish your boundaries and standards at the beginning of any relationship.-As a young female you should already know what it is that you like and don't like. Never be afraid to speak your mind and express your feelings at first, but don't allow it to be a plea or give him any room to try and strategize.4. Be very discrete.-As ladies we have an image to uphold and have been basically thrown into two categories. Either really classy, sophisticated and smart or fresh and easy. We have the power to choose what light we want to be viewed in, remember someone is always watching you and you don't want anyone to take advantage of you because of who they think you are.5. Be careful of overly aggressive guys.-Play fighting is NOT attractive, everyone should keep their hands to themselves. Do not antagonize him to hit you, but also let him know hitting is not an option.As an entering freshmen i have observed and picked up a lot of tactics of the males on campus. I am aware that the ratio of males to females is slime to none but dating is not a competition; it can be the catalyst of a long lasting relationship,friendship, or bond and the beginning of memories, none of which should be regretted. Be patient and remember if a male can not except you for you, than he is not the one for you. Proverbs 18:22- He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord
