And we're back! First, as a reminder, please submit your questions, comments, concerns, and queries right here. Now, in this week's installment of Just Ask Emily, one reader feels he's looking for love in all the wrong places.
Hi Emily,
I'm a single guy in CC who's wondering where to find a date. This is an amazing school, and there are tons of smart, cute, funny, etc. girls at Columbia and Barnard. And I think a good number of them must be looking for guys (unless @MyLifeIsBarnard is lying to me). So why is it so tough to meet them?
I'm not a shy guy, but I can't seem to find the girls who are looking for guys. After class/in cafés, I run into good female friends. At the bars and random parties, I do the whole hook-up thing, which is fun but ultimately unfulfilling. I've also tried the whole "get a friend to introduce you to her cute friend" thing, but that didn't go well—way too much drama.
I just can't seem to find that nice girl who's looking for a date. Any advice?
Sincerely,
Looking in Many of the Wrong Places
