The law of averages alone tells you that it will pay off at some point. Here's the thing about taking chances - there's a chance you will lose. But at least you're putting yourself in a position to win by playing the game.

There are a lot of women - Black, white, yellow, purple, fuscia, etc - who are just waiting for love to find them. And for most of us guys, especially Black guys, it's a buyer's market for us. We see women out there TRYING to find a man. Problem is, we have so many options that its a veritable buffet allowing us to hold our horses until we're good and ready. But that's not every guy either. Some guys are looking to settle down and are just looking for the right woman.

And despite what I just said, I know as many men frustrated with the dating scene as women. I would suggest that if you keep getting burned then its possibly because you give too much of yourself too soon. Then again, you are but a college girl, how burned could you have been by now? You have your entire 20s to look forward to in the realm of love and relationships (unless by college girl you mean Everest College girl which means you could be 37 at this point...shots fired?) so there shouldn't be a rush right now to find "the one". It will come in due time. Keep taking your chances with guys you deem decent and trusthworthy. One of them will be the guy you're looking for and you'll be the woman he's looking for.

You're chances aren't slim to none, especially at your current age. Hit me back when you're 40 and maybe there's something to talk about.
