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

You probably shouldn't ask me out.

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

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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
