In college, the last thing you need is a girlfriend. The point of college is to get educated, not just in academics, but in life. Try experimenting with all sorts of different females. I have friends who have had 1 or 2 girlfriends for their entire 5-6 years at college, and thats the only experience with girls they have had. It's good to get laid, but I'd stay clear of having a girlfriend unless she is the EXCEPTION to the rule. It's good to keep your options open.
I have a girlfriend now, but she IS the exception to the rule - the anomoly. Other relationships I have had were full of drama and in the end I would feel worse, rather than better in them. It took me 23 years of searching to find her. She packs me bowls and feeds me while I play video games. What more could I ask for?
Girls can be alot of drama, and bullshit. And when they are, remember that you have the option of kicking them to the curb. In the end, do what you really want, be what you really want.
I used to play WoW too, had 2 level 60 druids. I'm a hardcore pvp gamer, and to be honest, to even compete in WoW, you have to sacrifice an incredible amount of time for items. I don't like being outclassed in PVP because I don't raid 5 nights a week.
Instead, now I play DOTA (a kick ass warcraft 3 mod) and some other computer games instead which I find has way better PVP.
To answer your question: Only you will be able to know when you are in "balance." Balance is a subjective term defined by yourself. If you believe that playing World of Warcraft is nerdy and hampering your ability to get some tail, then it will. If you believe that you're that guy that can own all the newbs and get all the girls IRL, then you will be that guy. Reality is your canvas, so make it what you want =)  |
