Meeting younger women.

[Feynman]

Where is the best place to meet girls who are around 18? The problem is I am a senior Mathematics major at a large University and the few women that I do know from my classes are all in there mid twenty's.

You could maybe try an online dating site like okcupid.com or platnyoffish.com which are free. Of course, there's also craigslist.

I don't really want to meet people on line. I spend enough time on my computer as it is. I'm more interested in meeting people in real life.

How does an undergrad not know where to meet people who are of undergrad age?


(btw, seems quite suspicious when someone around 22+ is complaining that the people around him are in their mid 20's and he'd rather be around teens)

I agree it seems very suspicious.Why the attraction to those who are still in or barely out of high school.

I agree! You should be looking for women who are out of their teens and have had the same college level experiences as you.

Regardless, women of all ages are all over campus. Check out organizations and clubs on campus that have both men and women members. Consider joining one or more.

Dances and dance classes thru the P.E. department

Coffee houses.

Sororities? Particularly service ones.

Ask friends if they know of anybody in their early twenties who is interested in dating and then to introduce you. This is called networking. The more eyes you have looking on your behalf, the greater your chances of meeting someone.

I should have described the situation a little better. I'm 18 years old and kind of socially awkward. I have been trying to get better at the social aspect of my life but find it a little isolating being 4-5 years younger then everyone I know.

I agree the question seems very strange.
University freshmen (and freshwomen, can we say that? ) are usually around 18 years old. There is no reason you couldn't meet them right there on campus. They tend to be found in the cafeteria, student, union, walking across campus, in dorm lobbies....

Thank you for the clarification.

Now, take the above information that has been given, above, and apply it.

Well, I am going to take a guess here about your situation. I suspect you are one of those intellectually gifted people who have finished high school and been admitted to university well before the standard age. Your posts hint at this, as does your choice of a screenname (presumably derived from the famous physicist Richard Feynman). However, doing these things before standard age, you have missed out on social opportunities of interacting with your peers - something made worse by the fact that you probably had to spend a higher proportion of your time on your studies simply because you compressed them into fewer years.

If the above is the case, I think you are wise to want to increase your social interaction with your peers. There is a critical period to learn certain social skills, which you haven't missed yet - after a certain age learning those social skills becomes more difficult (though not impossible), because obviously social expectations are different for people as their age rise.

In any case, to answer your question, even if you are a senior at university, there is no reason you cannot interact with freshmen. You will probably not get to take many classes with them, that much is true, but you can always join a club that will provide you with regularized interaction opportunities. I am assuming you have the spare time to join a club, but if you do not, you are probably going to have a very difficult time finding and dating women in other ways anyway, since relationships do take time. Pick something you enjoy doing that also provides interaction opportunities. Unlike an advanced class on non-Euclidean geometry, a club is likely to have people from all years and subject fields. Good luck!
