Last week, I brought you the girls not to date on campus. I hope you took me seriously. Girls, if you were mysteriously dumped, I am sorry and perhaps this can work as consolation. Today I bring you the guys you must never date on campus. If you are now looking for a new boyfriend, avoid… The cowards If any dude broke up with his girlfriend because she was among any of the categories I mentioned last week, please don’t date him. He is a loser and a coward who can’t accept a challenge. Who reads about something in the newspaper and puts it into action? Especially coming from the Campus Inspector? I’m just here to caution you, not run your life. The man-child Have you ever felt more of a mum than a girlfriend? He is 24, at least that is what his ID says but in reality, he is just like your 10-year-old brother at home, if not worse. He moves while kicking stones, doesn’t care if he combed his hair or ironed his shirt. Don’t date that dude. The funny thing about these fellows, especially at College of Science and Technology, is that they think the unkempt look makes them Albert Einstein. But I’m sure he looks down on them from wherever he is and itches to send a slap. The tough guys It’s all about sagging pants, oversized shirts, conversation about guns and trying to live a thug life shouting ‘you only live once’ (YOLO) yet they can’t even pass a single exam to save their life. These guys aren’t ambitious at all and eventually, they will pass this lack of ambition on to you. Run as far as your legs can go because should you introduce any of them to your parents, you will be disowned on the spot. The predictable guy This one is as predictable as a wasp on speed. His little head has nothing creative to say, his jokes are always repeated and never funny, you just know what he’s thinking or what he is about to do. Yes, I’m talking about that guy who has no surprises to offer you, because, well, not only is he predictable, he’s way too boring. So much so that we know for certain you’ll dump him in just a month. The on again and off again guy This guy will do anything to get you to stay on his roller-coaster ride of up and down emotions. One moment you’re “the one” and the next moment, he’s confused, confined and worried about his retake. What you need to know about this guy is that this isn’t a phase; it’s a glimpse into the rest of your life. Talk about some serious nausea. Time to get off the rollercoaster—or better yet, do not get on. editorial@newtimes.co.rw
