Some women here are really fortunate. They meet a significant other and they are in relationships that last for years.
Others have never even gone out to coffee or tea with someone who was even remotely interested in them as more than a friend. I'm within the latter category.
Now as a junior, I try to take my mind off of the dating culture and not let my romanticism get the best of me by keeping myself busy. Even though I'm a firm believer in "never say never", I'd say the odds of me getting into a relationship somewhere between now and June 2014 are pretty slim but I still keep hope alive as much as I can.
I'm also a strong believer in timing. Maybe it's not the right time for me. I'm a hopeless romantic and perhaps if I met a guy who swept me off my feet and vice versa, I'd take my focus off of my studies, my goals, and my dreams. Maybe it's just not my time to date as a undergrad. Maybe my guy doesn't even go to Princeton. Who knows?
But what I will say is for the most part, thinking about the dating culture at Princeton has left me feeling nothing but disillusioned and disappointed.
