There are a lot of guys in college. Tall ones, short ones, smart ones, dumb ones. I mean, talk about a variety. The magical thing all these guys have in common? They're all new to you. Let's be clear, these are NOT the guys you went to high school with that know your embarrassing nickname or went to summer camp with you. Though, they're not necessarily the guys from Tinder who are just plain creepy (although, they're pretty close). Brace yourselves, ladies, because here are the 6 types of guys who you will definitely meet in college.
The Frat Daddy
We all knew it was coming. He's the "basic b*tch" of boy world (pardon our French). Don't get me wrong, I'm not slamming the fraternity men. There are some damn good guys in frats who have morals, standards and are considered southern gentlemen. But unfortunately those aren't the guys I'm talking about. Those are the behind-the-scenes guys who tend to stay in what we call "little Greek." The frat boys that I am referring to are the ones who give Greek life a bad name. The ones who drink too much and haze their friends. You will run into one of these guys, and you will probably really like him. You will think "I'm going to be the girl who tames him" or "we will be a Greek power couple and people will envy us." I am just warning you, he is going to crush you and then tell his brothers, which could qualify you as a groupie or a stalker. I mean the story is one-sided, after all.
The Bad Boy

Oh, this one is my faaaaavorite. I love me a good bad boy. This is the guy you meet at a house party or at a bar. You guys eye-flirt all night and then you "accidentally" bump into him and he asks for your number. He will talk to you for days until he gets you, then he toss you to the curb. Bye-bye, bad boy. You will replay the night and conversations over and over again trying to figure out what went wrong. You will break down because you actually thought he was different, that it was going to go somewhere... even though you only knew him for a week. He filled your head with false promises and now you're alone thinking you aren't good enough (when you should be thinking "I'm awesome, and it is his loss for not giving me a shot!"). Don't worry though, you'll meet another bad boy in a couple weeks and you will already have forgotten about Chris what's his name.
The "It's Complicated" Guy
Lol at this guy. He is playing you the second he looks at you. This guy wants you and actually likes you, but also wants and likes your roommate, his ex, the bartender, the blonde in the corner... I think you catch my drift. I also like to call this guy Mr. Possibilities. He thinks he has a shot with everyone...at the same time. This guy is going to win you over. He is smooth and has just enough mystery to keep you hooked. Within a week of getting to know someone you should be able to tell if there are other people on his schedule. He calls you babe or hun instead of your name and he has to fit you into his schedule. Also, he is on his phone a lot. Another sign is he tells you it's complicated. RUN. He is not picking you. He is on the other hand trying to collect you. Are you a baseball card? No, I didn't think so. Don't let him collect you. There is no need for you to be sitting on his top shelf when he brings in a new trophy at the end of the week.
The Lover

I'm sure you're thinking that I'm talking about some crazed sex maniac... but I'm not. The lover is the guy who utters those three little words by the third date. I don't know about you, but I have an issue with someone who loves me before they have had the chance to learn my middle name... and oh I don't know, other normal things you should know about someone before loving them. These guys are also called safety nets. When one of the mentioned guys above makes you feel bad about yourself, this guy is going to tell you that you are the world. He really is a good guy, but the odds that he is the guy for you are so slim. You know he won't make you happy unless you can relate him to a Taylor Swift song. My advice: don't string him along. The poor thing actually needs the clue. Bless his heart.
The Tag-Along
You know this guy. This is the guy that is just somehow always there. He has confessed his love for you, you turned him down, you ignore him, your friends ignore him... you're not even sure how he got there, but here he is. You're nice to him, which might be the problem, but maybe he is the problem. How do you get rid of someone you don't talk to or invite places. Honestly, I would check to make sure he isn't tracking you first, then I would change locations of where I hang out. That's about all I've got for that one (because I still can't get rid of mine...)
The One
I use that term loosely because you may or may not find him in college. That guy that everything makes sense with. The one whose touch sends electricity through your body and makes the world stop. The one who makes you forget about how much you hate PDA or the idea of being the obnoxious girl in the relationship. Yeah, he's out there. You will find him. Probably not in the way you expect... and he probably won't be the first one you think is the one.
At the end of your four years (or more) in college, you will want to look back and know that you had fun and experienced all different types of guys. And now you know what qualities you like and dislike. That makes finding the one so much easier (hopefully).
I wish you all good luck in the dating/not dating world of college. Because we all know people don't date anymore. They just "talk"... whatever that means. Call me old fashioned, but I'm counting on the one for me to be my knight in shining armor... or a shiny mustang or truck. Hey, beggars can't be choosers.
