Frankly, I was lucky to get a GF especially one who was beautiful (not just my opinion). She had a soft spot for non-US accents and I sound British. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had a chance.You may have to forget about dating until you graduate. If that prospect seems too depressing, you can take extra classes and graduate early. I was going to do a BA/MA in four years but after I broke up with my GF, I completed my BA in three and went to grad school elsewhere.Here's a warning for you: In years to come, when you explain how it was at CalTech, people who haven't gone through a similar experience won't truly believe/appreciate what it was like. So don't expect sympathy - you'll only get that from a select few.</blockquote>
