Love: Great when you have it, hate it when someone else does. There are lots of different types of couples out there that we see in college all the time. Some are cute, some are weird, some need to chill on the PDA, etc. If you are in a relationship, you might not think that you fall into a category of what type of couple you are, so I am here to help. Here are some of the most common types of couples that crawl among us:
"The Break-up to Make-up Couple"
This is the couple that nobody ever knows if they are dating. They fight ALL THE TIME and constantly are "broken up", but then you see them walking to class together. They fight about the dumbest things and feel they need to break up, then they realize how silly they were and get back together (until the next day when he forgets to call back and its game over all over again). They are not afraid to fight in front of other people which makes everyone in the room feel extremely uncomfortable. You can never really trust whether they are together or not, but I am not sure if they even know themselves.
"The Drunk in Love Couple"
This is the couple that gets hit by cupid's arrow every time they are out drinking. It is as if vodka is a love potion that blinds them to everybody else. Hugs and kisses and butt grabs everywhere. They stare at each other all night and can't wait to be alone. Kisses are also much less attractive to watch when they are drunk and can't find each other's lips. PSA: This makes everyone around feel VERY uncomfortable.
"The Stuck Like Glue Couple"
This is the couple that is ALWAYS TOGETHER. They do not leave each other's side. If you plan on inviting one of them out, plan on their significant other coming too. They walk to every class together. They study together. They eat together. They do each other's hair. They go to the bathroom together. They pick put each other's clothes (okay I got a little dramatic but you get the point). And they text each other in the few seconds they are not together.
"The Married Couple"
This is the couple that isn't technically married, but they do all the stuff that married couples do. They go grocery shopping, pick out furniture, stay in a Friday night to watch a movie, babysit kids together to see what their family be like in the future. Couples date nights are a regular event to hang out with other married couples. I'm just saying: If you like it, put a ring on it.
"The Dominant/Submissive Couple"
This is the couple that has one person who definitely "wears the pants" in the relationship, whether it be the guy or the girl. One person has complete control over the other. They approve of who they hang out with, where they go, what they wear, and do whatever the other one says. They basically have mind control over the other person. PSA: This is not a healthy relationship people! Equality is important; this is not Fifty Shades of Grey my gosh. If he tells you to return that skirt that makes your butt look great: BOY BYEEEE.
"#FitnessGoals Couple"
This is the couple that thrives off of motivating each other. They go to the gym together, they post workout videos together, they use each other as weights, and basically make every other couple out there feel unworthy. Their dates consist of either going to the gym, attending a fitness class, cooking tofu, or having flexing competitions. If you're gonna get #gainz, why not get #gainz together right?
"The Social Media Couple"
This is the couple that loves each other so much that they want the world to know. Like, the entire world. Even if the world does not care, they tell them anyway. They celebrate every #WomanCrushWednesday and #ManCandyMonday and #SignificantOtherSaturday and #SomeoneSpecialSunday and #TellTheWorldWhoYouLoveTuesday and every other made up day just to post pictures. They post the cutest pictures together and make the world think they are so incredibly happy and life has never been better and their relationship is perfect and blah blah blah.... Good for you if that is true I really am happy for you, but let's take it down a notch shall we?
"The PDA All Day Couple"
This is the couple that holds hands everywhere they go, they kiss each other every time they leave, they eat spaghetti Lady and the Tramp style, and they sit on the same side of the booth at restaurants because they can't not touch each other for more than two seconds (seriously, sit on the other side of the booth; you look ridiculous). A cute little kiss here or there is all fine and dandy, but we don't need a front row seat to your make-out session in the middle of the street.
"The Power Couple"
This is the couple of all couples. They are #relationshipgoals all day every day. This couple loves to hang out together, but they also have their own friends. They can go places without each other. He gets along with her friends, and she gets along with his. Everyone loves hanging out with them because they are a damn good time. They are as awesome to hang out together as they are apart. They make up for each other's flaws. If they fight, they work through it and make their relationship stronger than before. Power couples basically rule the world and we should all aspire to do just that.
