No, I'm Not 'Girlfriend Material,' And That's Not Necessarily A Bad Thing

You probably shouldn't ask me out.

In This Article:

It's not you, it's me.

Are you the person that just feels like dating will never go your way? Yeah, me too. Over the last couple of months, I have taken into consideration as to why my previous relationships have failed and there is always one common denominator: Me.

But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Here are a few reasons as to why I believe I'm not girlfriend material:

I'm not emotional.

Giphy

Sure, I will cry over "The Notebook," but I won't cry over you.

If you are looking for the girl that says she loves you every five minutes, it's not me. I don't send long texts, I won't excessively post you on my social media and I honestly don't care if you do the same. I have grown to realize that if somebody truly wants you, it doesn't need to be exaggerated.

I don't like to be touched.

Giphy

Him: *wants to hold hands*

Me: Yikes.

I probably like sports more than I like you.

Giphy

Maybe it's because sports don't really have the option to break up with me? You'll find out pretty soon that I am extremely and probably too invested in my favorite sporting teams, so unless you love sports, you probably won't love me.

School/Work is more important.

Giphy

Sorry, but the end goal is to be successful. In order to excel, I have to focus on myself! You'll find that I would rather get some hours on the clock than go out on a date. Being in college is HARD and that means I stay busy!

Dating apps are a no-go, so we probably won't meet.

Giphy

The latest trend is joining apps like Bumble and of course Tinder, but you won't find my profile to swipe right (or left).

So the point here is: Stay away.

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
