With January just passed, many of us are poor after a huge suction of cash from our accommodation budget. We can’t all hit the town to find the Robert Downey Jr of our perverted sexual dreams. Or wine and dine the perfect soulmate we met and fell head over heels for in the first semester. Fortunately, friendships are free, and university gives many of us the opportunity to make these in abundance. Hullfire Health and Art sections have merged together to help those fervent admirers of the opposite sex. But everyone is different, so whether it is love or lust you want in you life, the health writers of Hullfire have found out how the city of Hull will cater for you exigencies!
Going out:
Asylum
I met my boyfriend during the first semester in Asylum. We met through mutual friends and bumped into each other consistently throughout the term. It wasn’t love at first sight as we were in different years and I lived at the Lawns whereas he lived in town. We both played for sports teams and always ending up seeing each other at The Tower on a Wednesday. Week by week our friendship grew until he got the courage to ask me out on a date! Asylum is a great place to look for love, as it’s a student-only area. You meet many like-minded people in a safe environment on a consistent basis, which allows friendships to form. I’m going away for the summer and my boyfriend will have a year’s placement abroad. Whether it’s true love, only time will tell, but without the Tower, we may have never met! Coming from a small country hamlet to a large city was a big shock. I had never been clubbing before and I have found Asylum a safe environment to meet new friends and a trusting place to form relationships.
How to impress:
Asylum is a big club, meaning there are social opportunities to meet a variety of people from many different cultural and geographical backgrounds. If you are looking for love there are many things you can do to boost your chances of meeting a kindred spirit:
1) Be yourself. 65.9% of people in a relationship study valued honesty as the most important part of a relationship. If you want to meet someone, be true to them about yourself. This way your chances of forming a long-term relationship will be greatly increased. You want to find someone who loves you for who you are.
2) Be diverse. There are many different clubs, societies and events where you can meet people with similar interests to you. Go to events that relate to your interests.
3) Be patient! If you really want a relationship, it’s not something that happens overnight. Relationships take time to develop.
4) Be confident. Many people don’t have the courage to confront the opposite sex. If you get snubbed, clearly they’re not worth it!
5) Think about what you want. Is a relationship something you really need in your life right now?
Love is quoted as ‘friendship set on fire’. It’s different for each and every one of us, and I hope that each and every person reading this article will one day experience the emotion in all its glory. Happy Valentine’s Day!
