*Disclaimer: I am not trying to be heteronormative here, I am writing this from the perspective of a cis-gendered, heterosexual female since this is what I identify as. I am not trying to enforce any sort of gender norms or roles. I am not trying to bash on college guys or college relationships, this is just a funny compilation of experiences that people that I know have encountered while dating in college, and a few of these even relate to my own experiences. This is all written in good fun with no intention of offending anyone. Hope you enjoy!

1. When you tell your friend you think that guy at the party is cute.

2. When you see cute party guy around campus constantly.

3. When you finally work up the nerve to talk to him.

4. When you start texting.

5. When you stalk his Instagram and find pictures of him with dogs or babies.

6. When he asks if you want to grab dinner with him.

7. When he tries to be romantic.

8. When you ask him where things are going.

9. When he starts being overly distant and sketchy.

10. When you realize that things aren't headed in the right direction.

11. When everything that he says starts to bother you.

12. When everything you say to him ends up being extremely salty.

13. When you "break up," (even though you weren't officially dating but in your head, you had planned the names of your 2 children and future dog).

14. When he starts going out with one of your friends.

15. When you try to act cool about them being together like a week after you and him stopped going out.

16. When you finally realize how much better it is to stay single in college and focus on yourself until people grow up.
