For single pre-meds? Do you think you'll meet your future husband/wife in med school? Do you prefer someone in another field? Disregard looks, personality, bank account, etc. Who's hoping that med school has other perks like meeting their McDreamy?

hangten said:I just don't want a flood of "it depends" answer because surely it really does depend on a lot of factors.
hangten said:So, my question, how do you see the dating scene in med school or hope to see.

if this is the case, then it will suck if you end up being one of the few single cornell students.somewhere2010 said:the idea of dating someone who you have every class with is kind of overwhelming...but i think it's inevitable! at one point, 20% of the 2008 class at cornell was dating someone else in the class! i personally don't care whether my future husband is also a doctor, as long as it's not the primary thing we have in common!
i don't know about anyone else, but i was definitely checking out current and prospective students at second look weekends...and i was pleasantly surprised!

MDGuy07 said:This is why I have already made the decision to note date any girl I meet in medical school.
Most women who make it to medical school have very strong feministic views, while I have very strong traditional values. So as you can see, we probably wouldn't get along well

FenderHM said:I'm sure there are plenty of women who would love to be the wife of a doc... personally I like strong-willed intelligent women. And I really think its possible to split the cooking/cleaning/child-raising duties.
Orth2006 said:From what I hear most of the hook ups are out of sexual frustration. For 4 years you are basically a prisoner to your books and studying. Can you imagine the tension!! For the guys - all the girls all of a sudden starts looking good . And I bet its the same for the ladies. But there are stil a hand full of people who are able to make a relationship work with their class mates.

No. I'm retired from the marriage game. But I'll happily attend all of your weddings instead.hangten said:For single pre-meds? Do you think you'll meet your future husband/wife in med school?

Try explaining to a woman that you have 1 day off a week (during clinical years) and all you want to do on that day is sleep. Only another med student would understand.Pkboi24 said:Everyone is making it seem like you will be trapped within the doors of the school.
Most of us will be living in a big city where the fish are plenty (male and female).
I don't see there being a need to date someone who knows everyone you know (since your class will probably be sub-200).
What if you break up?
The rumors will fly and people will take sides. Have fun dealing with that AND the USMLE.

chaeymaey said:I sure hope I find someone in med school. The application process is so strenuous that the adcoms have done half the work for me.
Are you a girl? Just curious--I've heard some girls say the opposite.CatsandCradles said:To be honest, I was sort of thinking about this myself. But I'm worried I'll be overwhelmed with work. I sort of am attracted to people whom I know and work with after many long and ardous hours. I'm not someone to go to a bar and find that other person.
BlinkyCat said:So..how does one go about dating and finding their significant other in med school?
I got engaged to my ex at age 21, which was in retrospect a very, very stupid thing to do. I think the main reason I wanted to marry him was because everyone (especially my parents) was begging me NOT to do it. (Kids, if all of your friends and family hate the love of your life, listen to them; it may well actually be YOU who is the idiot, not all of them. ) I was engaged a second time when I was 26, but we broke off the engagement. I thought about it for a while when Bachelor #3 asked, but ultimately said no. After that I finally wised up and told Bachelor #4 no from the getgo. I haven't had a new proposal in a while, so the saga ends there. But I figure that's enough to last me a lifetime.hangten said:Q, can you explain a little bit more about your background. Thanks.
I don't know; I can't get A-man to stop cancelling our dates.Anastasis said:Q - I bet you're a total hottie.
I really liked this one saying: love like you've never been hurt before.QofQuimica said:I got engaged to my ex at age 21, which was in retrospect a very, very stupid thing to do.

I wish I'll listen to my own advice. At least you've gotten proposals, that's 3 steps ahead of me.
Let's go cry together.FenderHM said:Marry me PomPom! I know I dont know you, but you have no guys proposing to you and I have no girls to propose to, sounds like a match made in heaven to me....
One day I'm going to write a book, I swear it. But the thing is, people wouldn't believe that half of this stuff really happened.PomPom said:I really liked this one saying: love like you've never been hurt before.

QofQuimica said:BTW, ladies, my experience is that if you come across as being desperate to get married, that turns a lot of guys off.
Dating is too complicated. I wish I could just spawn.QofQuimica said:One day I'm going to write a book, I swear it. But the thing is, people wouldn't believe that half of this stuff really happened.
All joking aside, it is very important to know yourself well enough to understand what it is that you really want and expect from a relationship. Any serious relationship (let alone a marriage) is going to require a ton of commitment and effort on your part (and theirs) to maintain it. At this point anyway, I have to be honest and say that I really don't want to do what it takes to successfully be part of a marriage. Bachelor #4 is a fantastic guy (we're still very close friends), but that doesn't change the fact that I just don't want to be married to ANYONE, period.

That's exactly what was running through my mind...that's one reason I might want to date someone outside of medicine, so that maybe my husband will have a less demanding job where hopefully he can at least share household responsibilities. Of course I am pretty open to outsourcing as well...FenderHM said:Its seems like fellow med-students are a pretty good pool of people to find a potential snuggle-buddy/bf/gf/future spouse or whatever....
I mean, everyone's pretty smart, you already have several things in common (friends classes career interests compassion etc..) plus its not like you have the free time to be meeting people other places, whereas there's 100-200 people right there doing what you do everyday, why not?
I'll def be looking for a girl in med school, tho I'm not sure who'll stay home w/ our kids??? but thats another topic....
Ah, that's sweet. In a nerdy kind of way.kirexhana said:i've often found myself fantasizing about meeting the perfect guy in med school. we'd study together, and not really get anything done . go out for midnight coffee runs right before tests. and we'd hold hands and stare at each other lovingly, while elbow deep in some poor cadaver's chest cavity... ... no seriously.
