You might want to spend your limited non-quarantine time getting to know the kid from your FroCo group who knew what a “Woads Scholar” was before arriving on campus, or that cool Californian from your math class who’s only mentioned that they’re from the Bay Area like thirteen times. Setting aside the heterosexuality of your situation for a moment, monogamous relationships so early in the game often have the unfortunate side effect of tempting first-years to overcommit to one individual person at a time when friendships are naturally evolving, shifting, and forming. After all, there’s a reason it’s so rare to commit to a relationship in the first semester of one’s allegedly bright college years. However, you’re right that it may be worth taking a step back. And I’m delighted that you’re no longer in the nasty relationship of years prior. Add in a global pandemic and the fact that it’s been just over a month since you arrived at Peter Salovey’s personal clout factory, and you’ve accomplished a Herculean feat. I want to explore my sexuality at Yale, and I’m scared to commit to this guy, but I also don’t want to lose him – HELP!įirst of all, congratulations! You’ve managed to do what few Yalies ever manage in their time here by entering a relationship with someone you like and respect. Hi Broad Strokes! I’m a bisexual female first-year, and I’m worried I’m beginning to get tied down into a straight relationship (with a guy I DO actually like, I promise) way too early into the semester after just having gotten out of another (and rather nasty) 2-year-long hetero relationship. Either way, your identity will remain anonymous (and you’ll get a fun alliterative pseudonym)! You can email us with any questions or situations you need advice on at or follow this link.
