The Boy…
He’s just so cute. It is a well known fact that girls are more mature than boys, so at one point in every gal’s life she will date ‘the boy’. He’s cute, plays FIFA for extensive hours of the day and could pack up everything he treasures into one small duffle bag. You act like a teenager with him, staying up til 3 in the morning chatting about what you were like as a kid and you’re both probably drunk when you first kiss. But eventually his lack of drive and any sense of organisation will grate on you and you’ll start to feel like more of a mother than a girlfriend and who wants that?
The Asshole…
Ah yes, sadly there are quite a few of these bad boys out there. These creatures come in two forms: the obvious asshole and the secret asshole. In a way, the first option is preferable as at least you knew what you were getting when you signed up. He’s arrogant, very good looking and probably plays a sport. His “f*** me or f*** off attitude” is what drove you towards him and landed you naked in his bed wondering how many other girls had been there before you. The secret asshole will seem like your saviour from the world of rude boys that you’ve been exposed to. He’s well mannered, holds the door open and seems to respect women. What you come to realise is he’s actually just concealing his f*ckboy tendencies and his entire imessage is filled with the various girls he’s currently got on the go.
The Stage 5 Clinger…
After all the dickheads you’ve put up with, you think you’ve finally found a gem. He’s attentive, texts you first thing in the morning and asks you what you’re up to almost everyday. But after a while you start to wonder, where are all his friends and why have I become the centre of his world after 2 weeks? His cute texts asking about your location are suddenly coming off a bit creepy. The final straw is him having a go at you for chatting to a bloke in Timepiece. You want a boyfriend, not a third parent.
The Best Friend…
This is normally one of the more difficult situations to manoeuvre. After a 2 years at uni, you’ve conquered top top and had plenty of fun but would quite like a boyfriend to Netflix and chill with. He’s funny and cute and he already knows everything about you. After a few beverages, you both confess you’ve been thinking the same thing and end up back at his place. If this magically transforms into a relationship then well done you’re the minority. The more than likely chance is that you’ll do the deed and realise you have mistaken a friendship for a relationship. Not to mention that it was slightly like having sex with your brother. Hopefully he feels the same and you can part as friends, recalling the story at pres and being picked on by your other friends.
