Recently, I read a chick flick that gave names to the types of people we are in relation to relationships. It was really interesting and so true! Which Girl do you think you are? Which type of Boy do you like? Here's how it goes:
Squirrely Girls (heartbreaker)- 1.able to make a man's heart putty in her hands 2. runs from commitment by stringing boys along 3. puts guys on the back burner while waiting for the perfect on (The Challenge) to come along
BackBurner Boys(consistent)- 1. nice guy 2. unbeknownst to him, is the poor victim of Suirrely Girls 3. fed lines to be kept at bay 4. placed coyly on the back burner as a type of insurance policy in case nothing better comes along 5. kept interested enough to not give up hope, but not given enough interest to get ideas; destined to become a Bitter Boy.
Best Gal Pal(exploited)- 1. willing to do anything for anybody; always listening; always there; always the support system 2. not a threat
The Challenge(player)- 1. the guy Squirrelly Girl cannot resist 2. the one and only 3. unattainable (hardly returns calls) 4. put plainly he's a jerk, the bad boy,
Bitter Boy(hopeless)- 1, has broken heart cause by his antisocial behavior or being left out on the burner too long 2. hard and cold heartedd like burnt toast he is charred to a crisp
Burnt Girl (not interested)- 1. discouraged and just out of a relationship (or years out); not ready for any new sparks 2.on the run and can't move on with her life because she was played (mainly by the Challenge)
Barnacle(stalker)- 1. has amazing ability to glom onto girls and pays so much attention to one particular girl that other guys think she's taken and leave her alone, causing the girl to get desperate and issue a restraining order 2. in times of famine or miracle or out of shear exhaustion the girl may go for the sed barnacle boy
Claim Staker(over zealous)- 1. has nasty habit of dibbing guys whether or not claimed guy is interested back and in the process makes other girls back off
Safe Guy(best friend) 1. can also be a harmless guy, player guy, bitter guy, taken guy, former guy, and best guy friend but either way you can depend on his noncommittal attitudes to keep your heart safe 2. won't make a move 3. might turn on you

You know that you see these "characters" everywhere you go.  So, heres my advice- go for boy that is a mix between the Challenge and the Safe Guy. And boys- the Best Gal Pal is just trying to ttention help and get your attention, so give her some interest and see what she's like. Squirrely Girls are quite fun, but sometimes they need to be humbled and then they become the perfect girlfriend type. Wanna tell me about your  experience or get advice dealing with one of those types? Hit me up

XOXO love always,
