DATING 101
A college freshman learns why some rules aren’t meant to be broken
A month into my freshman year of college I started dating my RA. We had to keep it a secret, since our taboo romance was technically against the rules. One weekend, he told me his friend was coming to visit, who just happened to be an ex-girlfriend. I was fine with it, but when he left to run an errand, I seized the opportunity to check her out.
We started talking, and she nonchalantly informed me that he was her boyfriend of over four years! I immediately confronted him, and he gave me a sob story of how she had cheated on him numerous times. They were on and off, but he planned on breaking up with her for good that weekend. Being the naive freshman that I was, I gave him a second chance.
