boy issues in nursing school

Another from the male perspective - were I him, I definitely would not want to start something the first year. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much potential for drama. If you're both interested, tell him "Thank you - ask me again when we have a semester left." At least if things go South, you'll both either be graduated at that point or nearly so.

From personal experience, dont do it.

I tried to date one of the guys in my classes and things didn't work out and now it is above and beyond awkward. He's nice, but we didn't part on good terms.

I wouldnt encourage it personally. I'm sure you can meet a guy outside of school.

help! first year nursing student and there is one guy in my nursing class. hes cool and all and he asked me out. well, the problem is i see him almost everyday. if something were to happen/not happen it could potentially be very awkward. im going to school for myself, not to meet guys. what the hell do i do?

couldn't you just sleep together and have a casual thing minus the relationship drama and commitments? problem solved.

Great stress reliever...but they'd still have to see each other all the time.

While women seem to have this hang up about bumping into people you have sleept with, I haven't observed the same phenomenon as much in men (especially gay men). Haven't you heard of friends with benefits?

Of course I have, but coming from a woman's point of view, "friends with benefits" is rarely just that. Someone gets attached, jealousy ensues, blahblahblah.

Exactly - not everyone can do that, and nursing school really isn't a good time to find that out if you're going to find out with a fellow student.
