Student Online Dating Site, datemyschool.com Releases 2012 Dating Guide to Help Scholars Book Dates

Oct. 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Midterms are over which means students can finally get back to studying for the real semester-test: how to court their campus crush.

Lucky for them, the collegiate online dating platform, datemyschool.com announces the release of their 2012 Dating Guide, featuring their top ten dating tips to help singles cram for romance in a heartbeat:

1. Date efficiently. If you're too busy typing up notes in the library but hoping to score a date fast, then sign up for datemyschool.com. It's free for students and many of our users land dates within 30 minutes.

2. Commit to your needs first. If you're looking for a relationship, then hooking up with that emotionally unavailable flirt from your dorm may not fulfill your romantic desires…

3. In fact, try not to date someone from your dorm. The convenience is awesome until you're ditched for your neighbor.

4. But do date in your budget. It's cool, lots of students are broke! Take advantage of any free food on campus, snag the snacks and prepare a picnic near the quad.

5. And go easy on the booze. Beating your boo at beer pong is super fun, but puking all over the person? Eh, not so much.

6.  Oh, and perhaps take a shower? You're beautiful, but since you may or may not have been wearing those jeans for the past seven days and don’t really plan on doing laundry for another three weeks, then at least wash your hair.

7. Manage your time. If you’re hoping to hang out with that hottie, but have yet to start on your 20-page paper due tomorrow, then bust out your 50’s grooves and compromise with a study date.

8. Date outside your department or even your college to branch out of your social circle and expand your intellectual horizons. On datemyschool, users filter through schools, departments, age range, and other groups to discover new people.

9. Date effectively. If you're sick of hearing the misguided preconception that "it's so easy to meet people in college" (especially when you have yet to meet someone), then try an effective approach to dating: datemyschool is responsible for more than 50% of the dates at campuses, including Columbia University and NYU.

10. But most of all, date safely: if you're considering online dating, join a site that you can trust: datemyschool verifies every user (students must register with their .edu email addresses), protects against fake profiles, and provides its members with total control over who can and cannot see them on the site.
