[Got a Dude itch you just can’t scratch? Sick of getting the pity-eyes as you sift through the Self-Help section at your campus bookstore? Over wondering what those boys are thinking?  We got your back, girlfriend. Send your question over to askthedude@collegecandy.com. The Dude won’t sugarcoat it, beat around the bush, or any other weird cliche that means lie to you. Like a nice, juicy hot dog, he’ll be 100% real beef, 100% of the time.  So bring it on, ladies.]

Dude,
Okay so I have this one guy friend that I’ve totally hooked up with before and it meant nothing. Honestly, sometimes a girl has needs that need to be fulfilled just like guys do. So for me our hook up was just something fun that was better than me just hooking up with some random person for a one night. Ever since that hook up homeboy has either texted me or called me EVERY time that he has been drunk. A lot of times if I don’t answer his texts he will call me multiple times throughout the night until I answer, wanting me to come over and I have respectfully have refused.

I have also told him countless times that I know that there are plenty of other girls that he should call besides me and he has never listened until tonight when he started texting me again drunk, and for the first time he admitted that he needed to stop and that he was sorry and for me to ignore anything else that he sends me. He also said that he would promise to never drunk text me again, which is great. I want this to end because it is so embarrassing, especially when I am out with friends or other guys and he constantly calls.

However that is not the reason why I felt the need to send this. I have noticed that he has recently being trying really hard around me. He has been texting me during the day, blowing up my phone, inviting me to come over and literally just hang out and chill with him and friends and watch movies and other little things. We are friends so usually this wouldn’t seem out of the ordinary but lately I have been feeling questionable about his invites. Something just seems off with him. He is known for being quite the player when it comes to girls and usually I am one of his few friends that will put him in his place about that. So I guess what I am asking as homeboy had a change of heart? Has my friend gone from being the player for life now to Mr. Right and am I in his crosshairs?

Signed.

Ho.ly Sh*t

Today, I was walking across campus on the way to my last class before Spring Break (CABO, HERE I COME!) and I had a HOLY SH*T moment. You know, one of those defining moments when reality slaps you hard across the face prompting you to stop dead in your tracks and scream HOLY SH*T.

Well, today reality slapped me with the inevitable fact that I am graduating from college in three months. Three short, tiny, baby-like months.

After having a minor panic attack, I started to think about what this really means to me and probably to all seniors out there. As cliché as it sounds, this really is the beginning of the end. Unless you’re sticking around for an extra semester (aka: for one more football season), college is practically over.

This is the end (or slow decline, I should say) of all things that aren’t socially acceptable outside in the real world: keg stands, aggressive day drinking, an affinity for theme parties, fast metabolisms, sleeping till noon, and – occasionally the college staple – the walk of shame (or the stride of pride, depending on how you look at it).

It’s time for your weekly dose of Would You Rather.

I’ve already been faced with a little “Would You Rather” conundrum of my own this morning. I had decide between a healthy bowl of cereal for breakfast (and, consequently, looking better in my Spring clothes…) or the heavily frosted cupcake that was beckoning me from inside the fridge. After using all of my energy/reasoning skills on that one I’m not sure I’ll be able to do it again, but maybe you could give this one a whirl.

Would you rather have every material object you could ever (EVER) dream of OR be loved by the one you love?

Things To Consider: Louboutins, Marc Jacobs bags, cuddling in bed. Read More »

It started with the Real World, and then Survivor, and before we knew what was happening, our country’s obsession with reality T.V. spiraled out of control. Long gone are the days when fictional characters dominated primetime and MTV still played music videos.

Flip through the channels on any given day and take your pick of whose lives you’d like a firsthand look at- pregnant high-schoolers, wealthy housewives, bridezillas, fist-pumping guidos, drug addicted celebs, trashy hoes fighting (literally) for the love of a rockstar, famous-for-no-reason celebs, tiara clad toddlers, and people who’ve had waaaaay too many children.

The good news? Even more reality gems are coming our way! If you’re like me and can’t get enough trashy television, let these upcoming series hold you over until the second season of Jersey Shore finally starts…

1. Sunset Daze
If you think you’ve seen it all, think again, because this new series set for spring 2010, brought to you by We, is set in a retirement community. Yes, one very much like the one you go to to visit Grandma Betty for an afternoon of water aerobics and Bingo. Tag lines include “the golden years just got more golden,” and “no, it’s not spring break, this is Sunset Daze.” Yeah. I’ll be tuning into this one for sure… Read More »

TOGA! TOGA! TOGA!

Who or what inspires your style? Many of us use movie characters (like Adriana La Cerva) or celebrities (like Khloe Kardashian) as style inspiration, even though, most of the time, they are being dressed from head to toe by the best stylists. Which we don’t have. And sometimes it’s damn near impossible to work their Hollywood looks into our not-so-Hollywood lives. I’ve made it my mission to tap into the mind of a fashion stylist and show you how to take your style inspiration – whatever it may be – and make it more you!

So, you may not know this, but I’m a teensy obsessed with world history.  The fact that I’d rather watch a movie like “300″ over a movie like “Legally Blonde” makes it’s safe to say that I am a history nerd raised to the 10th power.  But while the battles and the coups and the whole mummy thing interests me, what really gets me riled up is what everyone was wearing.

Many of us have a mental image (based on movies) of what ancient Greeks, Romans and Egyptians wore. Beautiful and sexy yet simple things, like long white robes, gladiator sandals, gold accessories and olive branches in the hair. The “style” was ethereal and stunning – it’s no wonder so many of today’s trends are based on that ancient look.

And it’s no wonder I am so obsessed with all things toga-inspired. Most likely a result of my 200th viewing of the bloody, thrilling action film, “300.” Read More »
