1. The “Pity Invite Dinner”

Your friends invite you to dinner with their S.O.’s. They all sit next to each other and you’re just kind of there. Then they start trying to talk you into meeting one of their friends. Then they start bringing up inside jokes. Then you start wondering what you should watch on Netflix when you get home.

2. The “I Just Want To Watch This Movie, Please Stop Sucking Face” Experience

You go the movies purposely choosing the least romantic movie. You get inside and are suddenly surrounded by couples. GTFO, COUPLES. There’s no need for you to be holding hands right now. It’s not even romantic.

3. The “Would You Mind If I Gave Away Your Plus One Spot To Someone Else” Wedding Invite

You show up to the wedding sans a S.O. because as your dear friend so lovingly pointed out, you had no one to bring. You drink too much champagne during each slow song and are standing literally right in front of the bride during the bouquet toss and it still misses you and hits the married lady in the head. She laughs as you contemplate crying but decide on a piece of cake instead.

4. The “My Family Won’t Stop Asking Me If I’ve Met Someone” Family Gathering

If I had met someone, you would all be the first to know because I’m dying for you to leave me alone about this. I know how old I am, and I’m fully aware how old you were when you got married. TIMES HAVE CHANGED, GRANDMA.

5. The “Everyone Needs Their S.O.’s Opinions While Shopping” Experience

You walk into a store and see them all. They’re just standing around, giving their loving opinions. “You look great, babe!” You decide that you don’t want anything and leave, trying to avoid the couple cuddling over by the hats.

6. The “You Are So In Love You Decided To Reproduce And You Don’t Even Have Alcohol Here” Baby Shower

I’m single, and you asked me to come here with all of your married friends, and you don’t have booze? Unacceptable. I just had to listen to you all talk about breastfeeding. Where’s the VODKA?

7. The “I Literally Cannot Escape My Single Status” Vacation

You could be in the middle of the Rocky Mountains and you’ll still run into a couple on their honeymoon. They ask you to take their picture and they look into each other’s eyes before kissing. They ask if you’re there alone. You decide you’re having ice cream for dinner.

8. The “Look What My S.O. Got Me For This Holiday” Moment

Another holiday, another chance for all of your friends in relationships to talk incessantly about being in said relationship. Presents, dates, thoughtful cards…the works. SHUTUP.

9. The “I Finally Get To See My Favorite Band But This Couple Slow Dancing Is Blocking My View” Concert

You waited months to see this band. You finally scored tickets and looked forward to it for weeks. You arrive. You scan the perimeter. So far, so good. Then they arrive. They came in late and squeezed by you. You think to yourself, “please not in front of me, please not in front of me.” They sit in front of you and the kissing begins.

10. The “I Love Brunch So Much Until My Favorite Spot Becomes The New Hangout For Couples”

Who doesn’t love brunch? Weekend brunch was your favorite part of life…until the couples started coming. There you were, trying to enjoy your huevos rancheros as you were painfully reminded that not only did you spend Friday and Saturday night alone, you also didn’t have someone lovingly wipe the ketchup from your mouth.

11. The “I’m Close To Death And Need Someone To Take Care Of Me” Sickness

When you’re sick and you no longer live with your parents, having a S.O. is the next best thing. They basically HAVE to take care of you and love you even when you have snot literally dripping out of your nose. When you’re single you just have to take care of yourself. And it’s haaaaarrrdddd.

Taylor Swift Helps This Guy Score a Date

Ever since Taylor Swift hit the scene, it’s never been easier to break up with someone. Just hit the play button on any of her recent tracks and your significant other will know that you are never ever getting back together.

Not only does she kiss and tell, but she sings it from the rooftop if you do her wrong.

But can the ultimate breakup gal help you start your own love story?

This fan put Swift’s lyrics to the test and found that in real life, baby doesn’t just say yes and you don’t belong together. And if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again — just like this charmingly awkward guy.

And if you still can’t find romance, you and Taylor can share teardrops over her guitar.

14 Types Of Guys You Date In College

Will you make the grade when it comes to boys?

1. The Frat Star

View this image ›

Via youtube.com

Positive Traits: Frat guys are always having a good time. They have their own friends, so they aren’t needy and are cool with you having an independent life. Negative Traits: They live in squalor with way more guys than they should. They stay out drinking until the booze is gone. Oh, and they have a tendency to get into fights.

How Long It Lasts: Three to twelve months. Eventually you’ll outgrow the need to go out every night of the week. He won’t.

2. The Bad Boy

View this image ›

A24 / Via youtube.com

Positive Traits: He’s cunning, witty, and usually much bigger of a teddy bear than he lets on. He’ll introduce you to some really fun — likely illegal — activities.Negative Traits: Those activities can be legit illegal, he’s just a tad bit shady, and seems to know everyone on campus. Don’t ask why.

How Long It Lasts: Two months, or until he gets arrested.

3. The Entrepreneur

View this image ›

Paramount Pictures / Via theshiznit.co.uk

Positive Traits: He’s a go-getter with lots of goals and plenty of ambition. He’s dedicated and enjoys activities that are stimulating and interesting, instead of just partying.Negative Traits: He’s got money on his mind all of the time. If he’s not pitching his next idea to anyone that will listen, he’s busy pumping up his ego by showboating his successes.

How Long It Lasts: A year. Once you realize that you are worth so much more than being just his side project, you’ll kick him to the curb. Plus, you have your own ambitions.

4. The Really Good Guy Friend

View this image ›

Facebook.com / Via iwastesomuchtime.com

Positive Traits: He likes you for you. He knows all of your secrets, listens intently to your problems, and supports all of your endeavors. Negative Traits: He can get a little jealous of the guys that you dated before while he was still waiting for you to feel the connection, and is constantly wary of any new male friends.

How Long It Lasts: Could be forever. He’s everything you want and more: a friend and a lover.

5. The Athlete

View this image ›

Disney / Via fanforum.com

Positive Traits: He’s got an amazing body and is clearly dedicated. He understands that relationships take teamwork, but so does winning.Negative Traits: He is constantly busy. If he’s not on the field, he’s trying to catch up with all of his classes, on the road, or hanging with the team.

How Long It Lasts: Until season starts.

6. The Mama’s Boy

View this image ›

AMC / Via youtube.com

Positive Traits: He’s super polite and very respectful. He isn’t sexist and is usually known as the “nice guy.”Negative Traits: He can be super close to his mother, sometimes too close. Hovering parents can be really overwhelming, and God help you if she doesn’t like you.

How Long It Lasts: Could be forever. He believes in you and respects your opinions and views, as long as they align with his and his mother’s of course.

7. The Club Hopper

View this image ›

Via youtube.com

Positive Traits: This guy is likely a promoter, so he has all the hookups to the coolest places. Waiting in line? Ha, as if! His personality is infectious and incredibly charming.Negative Traits: He is constantly surrounded by pretty girls, many of whom couldn’t care less that he’s taken. He has actual responsibilities when he goes out, so what you think is going to be a sick club night usually turns into him checking his phone constantly and dealing with the bouncers.

How Long It Lasts: A semester. There are a ton of positives about The Club Hopper, but unless you’re willing to stay up until 3 a.m. from Thursday to Sunday (and sometimes Tuesday,) you’ll probably have to cut him loose. Either that or explain to your parents why you haven’t made it to a single morning lecture.

8. The DJ

View this image ›

Via youtube.com

Positive Traits: Anyone that’s interested in music is pretty cool to date. He’ll always have new stuff for you to listen to and are down to go to any and every concert you choose.Negative Traits: He literally thinks in beats per minute. If it isn’t about the newest mixer, he doesn’t want to hear it.

How Long It Lasts: Six months. The music life is fun and all, but three concerts a week can drive anyone insane.

9. The Blue Blood

View this image ›

NBC / Via youtube.com

Positive Traits: He is super cultured and has the coolest stories from traveling the world. He’s super relaxed about everything and is always down to have a good time.Negative Traits: He can be bratty (life was handed to him after all) and likes to get his way.

How Long It Lasts: Could be forever. Money doesn’t make the man. There’s a vast difference between being spoiled and entitled, there’s no reason that relationship can’t last.

10. Mr. Baggage

View this image ›

FX / Via collegetimes.com

Positive Traits: Because he has dated a bunch of girls, he’s got the relationship dynamic down. He’s a romantic and a listener; the makings of a great boyfriend.Negative Traits: He might break his back from all the emotional baggage he carries around. Sure he knows the makings of a great date, but he also bad mouths at least one girl you two pass on campus because she scorned him.

How Long It Lasts: Five months. On the surface, he seems like the perfect guy, but it’s likely that he’s not quite over his past (and there is probably a reason why he has so many ex-girlfriends.)

11. The Stoner

View this image ›

Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com

Positive Traits: He is really funny and has great friends to chill with. He’s not so in to the big club scene, and it can be pretty relaxing to be able to have fun with someone without having to scream at each other over the music in a club.Negative Traits: He has no concept of priorities or time, mostly because he is perpetually high. Sure, weed isn’t dangerous, but problems arise when it’s the only thing he wants to do.

How Long It Lasts: Not very, unless he picks up the concept of priorities and time.

12. The Cheater

View this image ›

Kevin Winter/Staff / Getty Images

Positive Traits: Being a participant in a tawdry affair can be exciting; everyone wants what they can’t have.Negative Traits: He’s taken.

How Long It Lasts: It doesn’t. If he’s not willing to see you exclusively, he’s not worth your time. Also, keep in mind that once a cheater, always a cheater.

13. The Foreign Exchange Student

View this image ›

Via youtube.com

Positive Traits: He’s worldly, beautiful, and has the world’s sexiest accent.Negative Traits: It can be hard to communicate, especially with every language’s crazy slang and idioms.

How Long It Lasts: A semester. He’ll be leaving both you and America come Winter Break.

14. The Overachiever

View this image ›

blogs.law.harvard.edu

Positive Traits: He’s super smart and really involved in his academics. He values what you have to say and your points of view because he’s always curious.Negative Traits: He’s tightly wound, especially mid-semester.
