Riris,

Yes, that is true. I now know that a man should treat me with kindness and respect. When I am looking for someone new in the future, I will now know what I want. I think I just feel very uncomfortable because I broke the news to the guy that I do have a boyfriend. It was awkward. And I feel like have no friends because… I kinda don’t. I have met people and I know people… but I don’t hang out with anyone on a regular basis here at college. It sucks because I am such a social person but I am timid. I also go home often to see my boyfriend/ friends. At first, I thought the reason I had no friends was due to me continually going home on weekends… but I am starting to think that I go home every weekend to avoid feeling lonely on Friday and Saturday nights. And when I do go home, it is pretty fun. My boyfriend’s college is 40 minutes from my house so I drive up there and he takes me to parties. I do enjoy spending time with my boyfriend and his friends, so it is good. However, I wish I had more friends. How/when will I meet people who I enjoy being around/ who enjoy being around me?
