I read this about five times before I decided to respond, because I just didn't know what to say. I had never seen the term "effing" written out before, and it made me giggle and gasp at the same time.
Now, I haven't dated in 13 years (been married for 10!), so things are a little more carefree than they were when I was single, but I have some experience dating both within and out of my circle of friends. In HS, we dated each other's exes, but we didn't have very physical relationships. We were the youth group kids in Catholic school, honor students, with very strict parents.
In college, it became too complicated to date within your circle, because relationships were much more complicated. So you met through class, organizations, etc.
I can't answer for anything outside of that. I married a few years after college, to someone i had met in college (though we were older when we graduated).
I think it's a personal decision, a very different decision with each person/potential partner. I don't think there is a hard and fast rule. Consideration and respect bode well no matter what you do, and you are old enough to be aware of consequences.
So....long answer is that it's up to you, based on each individual situation.
