As a single college girl, it's easy to get wrapped up in thinking about all the guys you DONT have. But lets not forget those you do. The men you meet today, shape the one you marry later.
Single ladies...take note:
1. "Mr. Successful Whom Everyone Knows"-
It feels good to say you know him or to walk into a room with him. Suit perfectly pressed, guaranteed a glass filled office in D.C. or Wall Street. You are obsessed with his ability to wow anyone he talks to and turn any situation in his favor. He could win a business card collection contest. This guy is 100% Mother Approved.
But be warned, serious relationships are far beyond what lies on the outside. And single girls sometimes mix up pride of being with "the popular, successful guy" with feelings. You have to be able to be happy with this person when it's just you in your coffee stained pajamas, shamelessly eating Junior Mints on the couch. And chances are, you realize you could never do that with this guy. You're not even sure he even owns sweatpants...
No need to worry. This guy is still VERY IMPORTANT! This guy is going to teach you how to "walk the walk and talk the talk." You'll have the confidence, resources, and wit you need to command any room you walk in, without him.
So next time you shake the hand of a famous CEO, you'll act as if he was there beside you. Before you know it, you have a business card or a follow up phone call.
2. The One Who Worships You-
My single girls out there, CHERISH THIS BOY! DO IT.
This is the guy who will get you through those nights where you're like, "No one likes me." Because trust me, this is the guy who would do just about anything for you, but you keep ignoring him! And while I do not condone taking advantage of his easy to manipulate feelings, maybe you should give in. Give him a chance.
Let's be honest, guys who worship girls don't come around but every 1,000 years, so just let him love. It's not going to do any harm. You never know...you might just like him back.
Either way, remember this guy when you are dating a jerk. Remember this guy, and dump him. Women deserve to be worshiped.
3. Your Nerdy Sidekick-
This guy you don't have any romantic feelings towards but he sure does make for a perfect person to laugh over Papa John's with. Maybe he taught you how to read a military map or you both talk Star Wars together like it's the most important news story happening in the world.
Take note of all these quirky, odd moments. Just like you shouldn't be with a "Mr. Successful Whom Knows Everyone" if you aren't comfortable with him behind the scenes, you also shouldn't be afraid to show a guy your nerdiest self.
Your Nerdy Sidekick is here to remind you all the fun you can have with a guy. So next time you are on a date with a guy who turns his nose up at watching Harry Potter all day...ask for the check!
4. The Sensitive, Good Listener, Shoulder to Lean on Guy-
Raise your hand if you have a guy who you talk like a girl to. Poor thing. The one who listens to all your petty girl problems, and even your boy problems too.
A guy who listens and understands a girl's feelings is a winner! This guy isn't your boyfriend, but he's the one you find you need when your crush just cancelled your date. You run to his dorm room and you cry, your makeup is EVERYWHERE.
But be careful, this guy might be able to listen because he doesn't have the confidence to speak his mind. This guy is the person you practice that confidence you learned from the "Mr. Successful Whom Everyone Knows".
You need to try reversing the role for your Mr. Sensitive. Listening is not a role us girls get too practice much. We usually do the talking and never give guys a moment to chime in. But who knows the problems they are going through.
5. The Uncontrollable One, Who Makes You Laugh-
Have you every thought of a guy and started to laugh, while shaking your head in denial. If you have, this is your "Mr. Uncontrollable, Who Makes You Laugh". He is rambunctious, out of control, and a total rebel. Half the time when you are with him, you just want to cover your face and go, "Why?" You genuinely think you would go crazy if you dated him. He doesn't follow the rules, is a mediocre student, and thinks life is just going to fall into his lap.
But RELAX GIRL! He is just the medicine you need. As much as we want to be 100% put together and with the guy who sits perfect and looks pretty. Nothing is more uplifting than a little bit of humor (mixed with unpredictability). This guy is the one who reminds you that marrying that lawyer who worries about bills or a perfect life, isn't the one for you.
It's so much easier being with a guy that makes you laugh, then one that makes you cry.
My single college girls out there, you need these guys in your life and you only have 4 years to find them. Maybe you already have? Either way, always remember them, especially when....
someone gets down on one knee.
