Dating in college is a whole different ballgame and there are many different types of players. The harsh reality is each guy that enters your life is different, and if does not work out all you can do is learn from your mistakes. So here is the most common types of guys you will date in college:
1. The “We Should Have Stayed Friends” guy.
The guy that you have been friends with since who knows how long, and you guys go on a date and it is awkward beyond words or you hook up and it is a good weird. But either way you wind up wishing you had left that sh*t alone.
2. The John Cena look alike.
“I bet I can bench your body weight and then some.” Cool party trick, bro! But lets be real we all have been attracted to the muscles and the rugged man charm that comes with body builders but then you realize that this guy not only works out 24-7 but he sleeps, eats, and breaths it, so needless to say he tries to get you interested and you draw the line right there, dump him, and go through a drive-thru on your way home.
3. The Possessive Guy.
You hang out once and then he begins asking you who you are dating and why you are dating them. He doesn’t want to date you, and he doesn’t want anyone else to either. I like the way you think.
4. The Cookie Cutter.
This guy is your basic “Let’s go to the movies on our first date" kind of guy. He is unoriginal and boring, yet still woos you with his boyish charm and Converse tennis shoes.
5. The Birkenstock Boy.
This guy not only rocks a man bun, loves to rock climb, and go camping. But he owns a pair of Birkenstocks that cannot be worn without colorful socks and Patagonia shorts that coordinate. This guy will never be down to just Netflix and Chill, which is a major draw back because "OITNB" just released their new season, so adios Birkenstock Boy.
6. The Faux Sensitive Nerd.
He may watch The Notebook with you and wear nothing but an American Apparel hoodie and a boyish grin, but one day he says something that makes you realize he has some issues upstairs.
7. The Trucker.
YEE YEE! This guy not only drives a four wheel drive but he is a true southern gentleman and the kind of guy you want to take home to mom. The only downside to this relationship is if it came down to you or his truck, he ain’t choosing you.
8. The Backup.
This guy is your pal, your go to, the one that knows way too much about you to be a guy. He is always there for you and is your go to for social events. You go running to him when your latest flame has burned out and he is always waiting with wide open arms. This situation never turns out good for either party.
9. The Boyfriend.
This guy is the holy grail of all your other boyfriends. He is sweet, genuine, and caring, and gets you better than any one else. Whether it works out or not this is the guy you compare all your other potential baes to.
