College can be one of the best times of a young adult's life. But sometimes, when students are living away from home for the first time, the freedom can be a little too exhilarating. Chances are, you enrolled with thousands of other people you are meeting for the first time. As you explore the social life on campus and get to know some of them more closely, hold on to common sense.
Get the Majority Consensus
Before you actually go out with someone, talk with that person's friends and find out their opinions of her. If more people than not are hesitant to talk or have negative things to say about her, move on. You can also do your own reconnaissance. Parties are a staple of campus life, so odds are you can find your way into one or two she is also attending. Watch her behavior when she's not aware of it, especially if she's been drinking. People do many things when they're intoxicated that they would never do sober, but that's because they lose their inhibitions. Once she's shed her inhibitions, it might be easier for you to know if this is someone you want to get to know better.
Establish a Buddy System
Women, especially, should construct a network of friends that they report in to periodically, whether at a party or when they're out on a date. Be sure there's someone you're close to who would find it suspicious if you did not check in within a reasonable period of time, someone who can be trusted to call you if she doesn't hear from you, just to make sure you're okay. If you're having a great time and everything is fine, you can give her a thumbs-up code word to let her know. If not, you can use the phone call to politely extricate yourself from the date, feigning an emergency. Never feel obligated to see the evening through if you feel uncomfortable with your date. Trust your instincts.
Keep Your Beverage in Your Hand
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcohol, sexual assault is alarmingly common on campuses and all too frequently connected to drinking. The vast majority of assaults are by known partners, on a date or at a party. You can protect yourself by never drinking more than you know you can handle, but that won't always help if your friend is drinking hard and is extremely intoxicated. If you see that occurring, be safe and get out. You can always catch up with him later, when he's sober. Never leave your drink unattended to go to the restroom. If you're one-on-one in a restaurant or bar, finish it first or ask for a new one when you come back. The Institute also indicates that some college men admit to intentionally getting a woman drunk or slipping something into her drink in order to make her more willing to sexual advances.
Be Wary of Too Much, Too Soon
College is a microcosm that will be over before you know it. Statistically, only the strongest college relationships last beyond graduation. Anyone professing her undying love for you before you've been dating for awhile is a red flag for trouble. She might even believe it herself, but chances are, it's not real, at least not yet. Be especially wary if she wants to know where you are and what you're doing to an excessive extent.
