How to Get a Girlfriend in College
Your college years will be filled with new experiences and opportunities to grow in terms of academics, but it's also an important time to focus some attention on your social life. For a lot of guys, a girlfriend may not have been part of the equation in high school, but that often changes in college. The chances of meeting someone who could be your girlfriend in college are much greater due to the increased dating pool that campus will offer. If you truly want to get a girlfriend, you'll need to be open to meeting new people until you find someone special.

Get out there and spend time with a group of pals. Increase your social network. Participate in activities that put you into plenty of group situations that will allow you to meet new people in meaningful ways. While heading out to the bar will put you in the middle of a crowd, it may not help you to actually get to know someone. A study group, on the other hand, will likely connect you with people who you'll share classes and interests with.

What's on your list of qualities a girlfriend should possess? Make a list of qualities that you are attracted to in a girl. It's easy to be sidetracked by looks when you first meet some girls, but it's important to remind yourself of the traits that are most important to you to avoid wasting too much time dating in college, but never finding a compatible match.

A casual date can take place in the cafeteria. Date plenty of different women who seem to possess the qualities from your list. In practice, you'll probably be surprised that some items on your list weren't as important as you thought they were, or that you neglected to add a few crucial things. Once you learn what you truly want in a girlfriend, you'll stop pursuing dead-end relationships.

Your female buddies can give you valuable advice. Learn about women and what they want in a boyfriend. Use your female friends to your advantage---they can often give you much-needed guidance. Ask your female friends what you could be doing differently when you interact with members of the opposite sex. You can also get a confidence boost by asking your female buddies to tell you what they like most about you.

Be yourself, but be open to change. Work on yourself. Use the information you gain from women you've dated and female friends to make some changes that will help you relate more successfully with women in the future. If, for instance, friends tell you that they often feel that they have to carry the conversation, make an attempt to ask more questions on dates.
