=======================================================
Regardless of whether you’re looking for a one-night stand or long-term relationship, the dating world can be a confusing and frustrating place to navigate. Understanding what a mate wants and needs — and coming to terms with your own wants and needs  — in a relationship is something that can take years to learn and refine, experience in which college students are often seriously lacking. Getting out there and trying your luck can be the best teacher, but getting advice from those who have been there before you can also be a big help.
