other half's freshers' week

hey i was just wondering how many people are having their bf or gf on freshers week and whether they are finding it hard? cos my gf is on hers at the moment and im finding it so much harder than i thought i would with all the new people she talks about and whatever. i havnt gone to uni yet (dont for two weeks) and am finding it hard with her having so much change and im still stuck bumming around :p:

Yeah, it's my boyfriend's freshers' week at the moment, and it is pretty weird. He doesn't talk about other people that much, but then, he is pretty shy, and bad at remembering names! But it feels kind of like he's grown up, living the whole student lifestyle, and I'm still at home... And he's always off doing stuff, and I've got used to seeing him all the time in the holidays. I go to uni on the 1st October, myself, and I'm moving away, so I'd like to make the most of the time left. But so far it's been pretty hard. Might see him tonight though.

No big! I'm meeting loads of people - 75 so far, and there's 769 to meet at my residence - and having to phone them all lots too, for various events, but I find that my relationship liberates me to be more at ease and more crazily fun with these new friends - more so than I might be if I were single and had attraction to focus on as well.

Real relationships have that intrinsic, unstoppably dynamic nature, a je ne sais quoi, a wholly unconditional series of connections that make other social interactions so much easier.
So, OP: keep in touch with her often and demonstrate how much you care about how she feels, and she'll reciprocate with just as much meaning and emotion. You'll grow, together.

i invited my bf along. he only went for 3 out of the 5 days so i had the 1st days to meet people alone which was nice. apparently hes been to at least one freshers week every two years since he left uni so it was good to have a veteran along to suggest new drinking games etc :smile:

IF you are worried about cheating surprisingly few people get it on in freshers week. Just worry about the house parties.

So true, the girls didnt put out for want of trying.

The first girl I talked to at the first Freshers week event is now my girlfriend of just under three years. Cute story but we didnt get together straight away.

I wouldn't worry if you only have a few weeks to wait! Think of the people not going to uni this year or at all, that must be much harder.

You mean to say that you don't remember the conversation we had about previous relationships; when you said that yours hadn't worked because they prevented you from progressing and that you felt held back (or something along those lines)? I distinctly remember telling you that one day you'll find someone who you won't view as holding you back, but instead you'll want to grow together (i.e. progress with your lives together). Non?

Yeah my boyfriend is at Manchester atm, and I'm finding it fairly hard. I'm just desparate that he makes good mates, but doesn't forget. I hate the idea that he's growing up with out me, and will probably out grow me. And I'm so jealous, I want to be at uni!
