My typical conversations about college relationships were always explained in two different ways. Two different extremes where in one, there was this long term relationship that was super serious. On the other hand, there was that relationship that typically lasted about a week. In this particular situation, the two people in the relationship probably met at some sort of "social gathering." They probably hit off, probably shared some sort of strong temporary attraction. As days progressed, either one of the two would just loose interest on snap-chat, or meet someone else somewhere else.
I never really payed an interest to these generalizations. They weren't guaranteed truths, or lies. Though, as I enter my 5th week in College I, myself, have witnessed both extremes. I have seen this in freshmen all the way to graduate students. Some people came to college with their high school sweetheart, carrying this great deal of commitment and promise. Some have met their significant other here at Texas State. Finally, we have brave souls pulling a long term relationship. In some cases, these are the strongest.
The more interesting extreme I actually experience myself. This super attractive guy paid all sorts of attention to me at a party. We text-ed for about five days, then I started to hear less and less from him. I reacted sort of surprised, because I didn't realize that guys, (and girls as well), could really just drop someone for no reason. What really blew my mind was his reason. He later confessed to me that he flirts with girls and gets them to like him to recruit more girls to go to parties. Yeah.... Okay. Luckily, this guy really wasn't all that and I won't remember his name in a week. It's really the principle. Lesson learned, though. This is college. Nobody cares anymore.
