Sherdale Henrickson is a Quinnipiac senior, and all around great guy. He’s been an orientation leader, is a brother of Sigma Phi Epsilon, and is an active member of the Student Government Association. All of these activities have provided him with plenty of interaction with the opposite sex, and now he’ s here to tell us collegiettes what males are really thinking!
What’s the best way to turn down a guy you’re not interested in
without hurting their feelings or making things awkward?
I think the best way is to be straight up and tell the guy that you really don’t want to ruin your friendship. A guy is still going to take things really rough but at the end of the day they’ll respect you because it still seems like you cared. Initially, there’s no getting around the “awkward” phase but eventually, your relationship will be smoothed out.
How can guys tell if a girl’s DTF or should be taken seriously?
When a girl is DTF she is usually very clingy, very touchy-feely. She kind of “dumbs” herself down to seem vulnerable although you both know she’s not. She’ll also make sure to single you out and address you. Guys realize that a girl should be taken seriously if she’s talking about things that actually matter. Reputations are very important in this scenario because it’s hard to take someone seriously if they are known for being promiscuous.
Why don’t guys date anymore?
Guys don’t date anymore because there are a lot of options and temptations in college. Many guys don’t want to “waste” the best time of their lives, when they can meet a new girl almost every weekend. Eventually guys will settle down because they’ll get tired of dealing with insignificant relationships.
The good ol’days before Angelina.
