3 Pieces of Dating Advice To Leave In Your College Dorm
There is tons of bad dating advice out there.
I mean the kind of advice that sounds great when you’re nineteen, but never actually leads to meaningful relationships.
The problem is this — grown adults are still espousing this advice like it’s relevant.
And we wonder why dating is such a nightmare.

Here are three pieces of dating advice you should leave in your college dorm.

What we THINK it means
