The Idea of Love at First Sight May Only be in Fairytails


Many young girls head off to college with the idea of dorms, classes, new friends and most importantly it seems, new loves. Young 18-20 something girls fill college campuses eager to get away from what they were used to in high school, including boys and previous relationships.



College is what many use as a stepping stone for accomplishing the "out with the old, in the new" mindset. Meeting new people and establishing new relationships is a huge part of college. However, as time goes on and girls date boys and start growing up, the whole "cheerleader dating the football player" and "love at first sight" ideas don't seem as appealing.

According to a study done by a large South Eastern University, young girls, (age 19 and younger) believe in love at first sight more than girls 20 and older.

As girls get older, it seems they are opening their eyes to the idea that not all love is a fairy tail. Sometimes it takes work to to make an important romantic relationship fit into ones busy lifestyle.However, if a relationship is more work than anything else, maybe it time to go separate ways.

A working long term relationship may be best started as a friendship and gradually grow into something more.
