In college dating scene at times it’ll be rough. It’s not like the movies, there isn’t much love & basketball scenes (although the men do act like that irl but…) Don’t get me wrong you can find love in college! But if you are dating in college you’ll start to mingle with different types of guys… and in the era of dating sites and social media there practically on demand. Although they aren’t the same here’s a list of the 3 types of guys you might meet in college: 

Mr. Mystery 

Mr. Mystery is dreamy, dark, and a mystery. The thing about him is you truly never know with him. He says he’s “chilling” or always doing something but something about him keeps you around… This mystery man isn’t the type you brag on to your friends… beware because he will most likely have you back tracking on every word you said… He knows how to hold a conversation and honestly that makes you want more? Because how do I know so much yet so little about you?  9/10 your friends will warn you or be weary of him, but will you listen? Absolutely not. 

Bonus points: If he has an at home-girlfriend, ghosted you, or Scorpio.

Mr. LoveBomber 

From the instant talks about a future together, to the quick and rushed “I love you”s Mr. LoveBomber is ready to woo you. Personally, if you are a victim of a love bomber, I think you are entitled to some sort of financial compensation. He will have you stressed out, ready to slide down the wall, and simultaneously packing your spend-the-night bag all at once. I warn you a love bomber has his roller coaster emotions. So I beg that you prepare to buckle in if you wanna ride that ride. The love bomber is a dangerous one, he knows the cards to play and knows how to keep you in the loop. You’ll dream about your kids together, talk about vacations, or pick out houses on Zillow.  

Bonus points: If he’s a narcissist, has anger issues, or a Cancer. 

Mr. Popular 

Maybe the most dangerous of them all. Mr. Popular… You’ll see him at every event. He’s friends with almost everybody. Super friendly and probably one of the funnies people you’ll meet. However, he is not for the weak! Be warned that he is the type that will have girls  “coming to you as a woman.” Or have some type of history with 1/5th of the girls at your school. Truth is he probably has some sort of game which keeps you wondering why not keep him around? Do you take him seriously? I would advise no. Unless you wanna catch him out with another girl some random night… 
Bonus points: If he’s an athlete, phone’s always on DND, or a Leo.
