<p>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.</p>
<p>Any suggestions?</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>I believe that their website is [The</a> College Student’s Guide To Dating](<a href=“http://www.collegeguidetodating.com%5DThe”>http://www.collegeguidetodating.com). If that doesn’t work, search Google and I’m sure you’ll find it.</p>
<p>mabey he shouldn’t look and just wait</p>
<p>also he should try to just befriend girls and then see if he likes them</p>
<p>you can also try and make him join clubs and frats</p>
<p>So this is what parents talk about in their free time. Interesting.</p>
<p>Be careful what you wish for. Let him concentrate on his studies.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Doesn’t sound like the type of book a parent would recommend!</p>
<p>If my parents had bought me any sort of dating book I may have died.</p>
<p>Yeah, if you send it to him, send it in a plain brown wrapper so his friends don’t see what it is.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Indeed. </p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>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 ".</p>
<p>THIS ENTIRE THREAD IS A PLUG FOR A BOOK.</p>
<p>Collegemom2007 and TrustmeImadoctor are both the same person… just made two accounts to advertise his get pu$$y quick scheme</p>
<p>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</p>
<p>Lol that’s funny. Both joined today, fake conversations FTW!</p>
<p>Yaa there is nothing more annoying than when you know ur parents are worrying about you not being able to find someone. I guess it would be one thing if the son seeked out help from his parents, but otherwise, just let these things run its natural course. I think most sons/daughters would find it extremely awkward and even slightly insulting if their parents bought them a book like that. My parents are paying for my education and I feel that my obligations are primarily to do the best I can academically. I realize parents want us to find a healthy balance, but this is not easily accomplished. I’d wager that your sons will find someone, and probably without assistance. </p>
<p>But then again, maybe they should just drop the all their textbooks and start trying to fulfill these Rockstar fantasies. Yaa that doesn’t sound so bad=]</p>
<p>He wants a butter teeth girl.

<p>Maybe he likes boys</p>
<p>just a suggestion–he might be too shy, but he should definitely just ask someone he’s interested in out. He shouldn’t wait for a random hookup. </p>
<p>I’m a girl and I know that a lot of guys are afraid of rejection, but if he’s semi-good looking and not a ****** and he asks a not-***** out on a date, its pretty likely she’ll say yes. A lot of girls have never been asked out on a date and they definitely appreciate that sweet move.</p>
<p>oh whoops haven’t posted here in a while–as long as the guy’s not a dou<em>che and the girl’s not a b</em>tch</p>
