1. Time at uni is precious

2. Uni is for learning about yourself
In my experience, everyone you meet teaches you something; whether it’s about yourself, life, the human experience or a niche sport you had no idea existed. Meeting new people, experiencing new things and learning about yourself is really valuable and in many ways the freedom and excitement of uni is the perfect time to embark on a dating journey. One lesson I will always stand by is that relationships reveal so much about yourself, as they force you to open up and be vulnerable with someone and trust them in a completely different way to platonic relationships. However, investing time in your friendships, sports, societies, degree and yourself are all essential to learn about yourself too.3. How do people date at uni

4. Dating at uni is like a balancing act

So, is dating worth it at uni?
There are no right answers as long as you keep yourself safe, treat people kindly and do what you think is best for you. As a big believer in the power of the universe I think this is something that will find you when the time is right. There is also something to be said for intuition, often you know what’s right for you and putting that trust in yourself to make the right decisions as and when situations present themselves is the most empowering and worthwhile skill to harness. Therefore, my advice would be keep yourself open to the idea and evaluate opportunities as they arise. If you take anything from this article, let it be this; you are allowed to be selfish and this period of your life should be exactly as you want it to be! If you’re ready to try dating, why not go slow with these low key date ideas you can try.Authors
