Help My Son Find A Girlfriend

CollegeMom2007 · 04-22-2009, 01:45 PM

My son is going to New School in New York. He's having a hard time finding a girlfriend. Coming from a small town, I'm not surprised that he is having trouble living and coping with the big city. It is partially my fault because I did not push him to talk and meet new people. He's been there for several months and has not met a nice girl yet.

Any suggestions?

My son had a similar problem. He had a few good guy friends but I didn't see him dating or meeting any girls. I stalked his Facebook page (don't tell him that). I was perusing another college discussion board and a guy posted a link to a book that I ended up buying for Rob. It is called the College Guide To Dating. He said that he bought it for his son and got good results. It made his son "very happy." I got the book for Rob about a week ago and he tells me that he is enjoying it and that he has more confidence now to speak to girls. I'll let you know how it works for him as I get more news.

I believe that their website is The College Student's Guide To Dating. If that doesn't work, search Google and I'm sure you'll find it.

mabey he shouldn't look and just wait

also he should try to just befriend girls and then see if he likes them

you can also try and make him join clubs and frats

So this is what parents talk about in their free time. Interesting.

Be careful what you wish for. Let him concentrate on his studies.

Doesn't sound like the type of book a parent would recommend!

If my parents had bought me any sort of dating book I may have died.

Yeah, if you send it to him, send it in a plain brown wrapper so his friends don't see what it is.

Same. And if I found out my mother was going on public forums and trying to get me a date... that's ground for self-inducing a coma.

Umm...I don't understand. Is he looking for a gf or do you think that's what he needs? I agree with the poster who said let him concentrate on his studies. The gf thing will come in time.

Indeed.

Maybe he just doesn't want to be in a relationship? Maybe he's social but just hasn't met a girl who's worth the trouble?

I think it would be better to let nature take it's course and stay out of it. He will meet someone when the time is right and I think like a few of the previous posters mention, he would probably be embarrassed if he knew you wanted to "help ".

THIS ENTIRE THREAD IS A PLUG FOR A BOOK.

Collegemom2007 and TrustmeImadoctor are both the same person... just made two accounts to advertise his get pu$$y quick scheme

Maybe he can't find a gf because his mom's pressuring him to find one? Advice: let him do his own thing, maybe join some clubs to meet people, and focus on school
