There are phases every girl goes through when it comes to guys. They can be in different orders and different lengths of time. Or different ages or come with different emotions, but almost every girl can check these phases off of her list of dating history.

The one that starts it all- it's the quarterback with the big muscles, the nerd with the sparkling smile or the bad boy with the bright green eyes. It's the boy who stole your breath and then showed you the true capacity at which you could hate men.

It's the first love phase, the one boy you found that stole your heart and you know he'll have for the rest of his life (even though you've been dating for 3 months). This phase is your first heartbreak and sure some are years long and some only months but it always leads to the next phase.

This is the boy who is dorky but worships your blue eyes or the boy who is a little below your league but loves how you can eat that whole pint of ice cream in 15 minutes.

It's rebound phase, this phase is the phase post-traumatic breakup where you are just looking for any boy to tell you that your special. Someone to kiss ya and tell you that your pretty in order to get that confidence back through the roof.

Next, there are about 3 phases that are interchangeable. All three are of high importance and build you to be the girl you eventually will be in your fairytale ending.

These are the boys who everyone knew about or no one knew about. The ones you flaunted around at parties or hid in your phone with the contact of a sorority sister you had never even talked to. But every one of them helped you along to the next.

First, there could be the I don't need a man phase (but secretly I do). This is usually post-breakup with Chad or Brad or someone who treated you bad.

This is your bad bitch phase where you act like you could care less about the boys at the parties but secretly your texting the boy from Chem 104 who always sends you the answers cause he thinks your cute.

This is the phase to help you realize you don't really need a guy but they are kinda nice to have around.

It could be the Mr.Perfect phase, this, in my opinion, is the worst. This is the phase where you become super picky.

You find a cute boy whose sweet and kind but he liked a girls picture in 2007 so it just won't work. Or maybe you meet a boy who's got a great head on his shoulders and loves the same TV shows you do but he thinks Derek should have stayed with Addison instead of being with Meredith so he obviously isn't the right one.

We go through this phase because this is where we realize what we are worth and we finally have the confidence we needed.

Lastly, there is the one phase in particular that my friends and even I seem to be stuck in. The Mr.Right now phase. It's that phase when the cute boy hits on you instead of asking what his major is or his future aspirations are you ask for his number and walk away happy.

In this phase, you find the boys that are all too wrong for you. The boys who dropped out of college to pursue video game careers or think the only reason to go to college is for the free booze and the frat life.

We spend our time to focused on the unopened Snapchats or the read and not replied texts to care about whether he has a future with a 401k in it. Maybe this isn't a bad phase to go through in college though.

I mean college is the place to try things right? So we are just trying out the guys we know would never work in real life.

We are trying out the hot frat boy who is the social chair or maybe treasurer of his fraternity, something like that, just to see how he fits.

Finding Mr.Right now is what will help realize what we want in Mr. Right.

So go through your phases, because every phase you go through gets you one phase closer to happily ever after.
