This submitter is stuck wishing her guy friend was her boyfriend but just can’t quite get up the courage to stop playing hard to get. Find out what advice some real life guys gave her and weigh in. Is it possible to have your best guy friend become something more once he no longer has a girlfriend in the way?
Mixed messages much!? So many guys say they want a relationship but are so busy with school, athletics, extracurriculars, etc. that they never make time for one.

Making a relationship work in college is hard, especially at UNC where everyone is 3000 percent busy with achieving their dreams and trying hard just to get an A in finger-painting. When you’ve been in a relationship for a long time, it’s easy to let yourself get busy and stop putting in effort to make things work. This submitter wonders if she should call her guy out on it or just accept the fact that they’re both busy with their own lives. What’s your opinion? Should she point out that he’s not putting in enough effort or keep quiet?
We may be in college, but that doesn’t mean our parents will stop having an opinion about the people we date. One freshman submitter met a guy who’s a senior in college. She thought all was going well until her mother objected to the four-year age difference. What do you think? Is age difference something that doesn’t matter as much in college, or are they still in totally different phases of their lives? Should she hold off and respect her parents’ wishes or totally go for it?

Most girls have a fantasy guy that they’d love to get together with if he was ever single. This submitter finally got the chance with her ultimate dream guy, but the morning after he texted her asking her to keep it on the down low.

Oh, the mooch. Yes, the vast majority of us are poor college kids are living off Easy Mac and free swipes into the dining hall, but that’s no excuse for a guy to constantly use you as an ATM. What really grinds our gears is that when this girl offered to take her guy out to dinner instead of just picking food up for him, he refused! He says he loves her, but would you stick around waiting for a ring? I didn’t think so.
