I will be turning 19 in roughly 2 weeks, on August 23rd, 2024. I currently do not have a girlfriend. Will I have a girlfriend before I turn 20 on August 23rd, 2025?
I am a sophomore attending MIT, studying CS & Math. My main academic interests lie in AI, ML, and quant. My hobbies include playing high-ish stakes poker, playing various video games, doing dangerous-ish stunts (hacking), traveling, hiking, and playing guitar & singing (not well). Last semester I was involved in MIT poker club, MIT asian dance team, MIT Ohms acapella, and MIT AI Alignment. I am a brother of ZBT fraternity, living in the house next year.
I’m a Chinese male, 6’2”, ~155 lb. I have been inconsistent in the gym over the summer, but went ~3 times a week last semester, and I predict I will go more consistently when school starts.
Currently I am not really “actively” looking for a girlfriend. I have Hinge which is occasionally used, but overall I am not putting in much effort. I’m definitely open to having a girlfriend.
I have never been in a relationship in the past, although I have been in a previous situationship with an MIT girl (ended Jan 2024), (we are not talking anymore).
This question resolves YES if both me and the girl consider ourselves to be in a relationship, i.e. boyfriend & girlfriend, before 8/23/25. Otherwise resolves NO.
I will not bet in this market.
I do not see myself giving updates about the specific dating scene, but I may update on other tangential things like gym progress, clubs, classes (comment for suggestions)

Re "I'm not actually looking" - you should consider starting to! College is probably the last place you will be surrounded by opportunities to have serendipitous encounters with large numbers of smart single women. After you leave college it gets a lot harder. My wife and I met in college, and those of my friends who didn't meet their future spouse in college are like 5-10 years behind on the family& household track, if that's what you are interested in. And that doesn't even count the ones who are single.
Btw is the fact that your username is the same as the Manifold co-founder @Austin just a coincidence, an alt-account, or possibly-community-guidelines-breaking impersonation?
Betting no because 2 weeks isn’t a very long time and it doesn’t seem like you’re making it a priority. If it hasn’t happened with this girl since January, then why would it happen now? And it would be hard to go from dating to being an official girlfriend in 2 weeks. You sound like a nice guy but like a relationship isn’t your priority. So I bet no, but not because I’m not rooting for you!
