I have couple girls who were interested to date me, but I didn't get involved b/c I was too busy studying my butt off, volunteering, and working to pay off student loan. I knew the relationship will not last long b/c I will be moving away for dental school. Therefore, I chose to just be friends with them. Did anyone encounter the similiar situation as a pre-dent? Thank you!

looks like we have an sdn pimp :meanie:
 
I am in a relationship with another predent girl.
 
nope.i dated a dentist, a doctor, and now im dating someone not in the medical/dental field at all..its different, but sort of a welcome relief.😀
 
If you do get accepted this cycle, you would still not be starting school for over a year. Frankly, the "I didn't want to get involved cause I know I'm moving away" excuse doesn't really make any sense for you right now, and especially not for any time prior to this.

I know a girl moving away to school in a little over a month who just got into a relationship about a month and a half ago. I'm moving to school in a little less than a month and i just got into a relationship with someone 3 weeks ago. We both know we're not staying together with these people...and so do our respective partners. We're just enjoying each other for the time we have...it's a lot better than just being single and not dating anyone at all cause we know we're leaving town. I mean...we all have emotional and physical needs. A year is a long time to swear off dating unless you're already used to not dating.

Now, your thinking may be different, but I don't think every relationship I get into has to be one that is moving towards marriage from the get go. If that is your intention...a year is still a long time to figure that out.
 
Hehe....seems like by the time when singles enter dental schools, most fellow students are already in relationship??
 
Not getting into a relationship because you may be moving in a little over a year is not such a great idea. You think you are busy studying, etc now? Wait till you get in to Dental school. You will have even less time and money. Stay well rounded, have relationships. I think that is the only way you will make it out alive. You're human not a robot.
 
Pshhhh...if you were to skip out on all sorts of human interaction because you're too busy, then that's really your loss and lack of time management.

I'm dating a pre-med, and we're both really really busy working our way through school and making sure our grades don't suffer much, etc. You know the drill, we're all there (or have been there)

But to avoid something that could potentially be one of the most significant things in your life because you're leaving in a YEAR? You need to relax a little, and live a little.
 
it depends...if you can find someone who understands that you won't be able to be with them 24/7 then that's great. It's a lot of hard work to get into dental school, but it's great to also have someone to support you. I was in a relationship for about 1.5 years with someone who didn't understand why I had to study/work all the time, so we ended up fighting a lot which wasn't cool. So if I could go back in time, I'd def avoid something like that.

exactly 😀
 
You never know your new girl might move to dental school with you... Then she could support you and all that. I have a girl friend right now and I am moving in 2 months, and she isnt, does this mean I should just end it right now because I am moving? You know that doesn't sound like a bad idea.😀
Ill take your advice and not get involved with any women because i'll be leaving and its not worth it. Ill just end it with my lady when I move 😀

Is this how some of you people really think?

wow.. I'm just amazed.. wow....
 
🙁Nothing really lasts in this world now...love, relationships, everything...
 
Don't think so far ahead, live in the now, things will happen when they need to happen. Like it's been stated, she could very well move with you or whatever. I suppose you willt hen say that you shouldn't get in a relationship throughout dental school cause then there's four more years you can't dedicate, then who knows where you will be after that, what if you choose to specialize, etc. etc. Be easy.
 
i think it would be easier if you found another predent or premed student. at least IMO it is. my boyfriend, whom i've dated for all four years of college & still dating, is a premed student. it's actually helpful because you study the same things during school. 😛

i think it all depends on you and the girl though. if you get distracted too easily, then maybe not being in a relationship is better. *shrug* you know yourself best~
 
Just have fun, OP. Relationships are nothing to be scared of. I just started something with a girl about two weeks ago. While I'm leaving in September, I'll still enjoy what we have right now and see where the future takes us.

Yes. As a predent my whole life was dedicated to my studies although I went clubbing once in a while; but I didn't get in any relationships. Now I have been accepted to dental school, I'm using this summer to do some big pimpin. Time to conquer as many girls as possible :laugh:
 
My wife and I must have an amazing relationship. It seems like we always hang out and we talk all day everyday. We just got back from SF for a long weekend. Even when I was studying for the DAT, we still managed to get enough time together. I guess it just comes down to what others have said, communication, mutual respect and understanding are the key.
 
When I graduated from dental school the top two in the class were complete opposites. One was a single guy who always studied and stayed on top of things, had fun but didn't go crazy. The other was married had one kid when he started and another by the time he graduated. So it really is all your personal style, study habits and motivation (they both are now Ortho and Endo, respectively)
