I didn't really date much in high school because I'm not a high school person. Nobody there was really my type and the ones that were were just friends.
But now I'm off at college and I want to experience and live a bit more. Unfortunately, I'm kinda picky. I'm usually modest about it but I'm very intelligent, and I want to date a girl who is up there near me in intelligence level. I'm also sort of well rounded- I love learning, love playing team sports, and I love having fun and am very committed to not acting stupid to attract attention.
However, I'm at a school that doesn't have the greatest number of girls (I didn't go to school for girls...). With that, I've found a girl I've gotten kinda closer to, who I have a lot in common with and who is actually really smart, but she has self esteem issues and then a lot of guys seem to like her for her personality, looks, brains, etc and I don't want to be "one of the suitors" because that feels kinda pathetic, and then she thinks all the guys like her because there aren't as many girls around even though she's an incredible person! It's disappointing too because I have a great time with her and everything but she talks about how all the guys like her and I feel like I'd be sorta betraying the friendship a bit to make a move.
I feel like I'm going to be single forever at this rate unless I get lucky and happen to meet someone. Obviously being picky at a school with a low percentage of girls is tough, but it's because I want to date someone who's very intelligent, someone who's not dating for the sense of dating you know? Anyone have a similar experience?
