How To Lose A Penn State Guy In 10 Days

If you haven’t seen the iconic Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey rom-com “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” do yourself a favor and watch it. But if you have, it’s time to put a Penn State twist on the classic love story.

Finding “the one” is hard enough, but finding them at Penn State? That’s a whole different story.

So, if a guy can stick through all 10 of these Penn State tests, congratulations! You may have found your Happy Valley happy ending.

Here are 10 days of tests to see if you have found your person.

Day 1 — Ask Him For A Text To His Fraternity

For some reason, fraternity guys act like giving you a text to their fraternity’s party is a bigger commitment than meeting your parents.

So, invite yourself! You might get ghosted immediately.

Day 2 — D.P. Dough During The Day

Anyone can take you to D.P. Dough at 2 a.m. after a night out. But will he take you there in broad daylight?

No bar-hopping pregame. Just you, him, and a calzone. You should probably ask him to go at 1 p.m. for the best effect.

Day 3 — Library Date

If he’s at the library studying, ask him where he’s studying, then show up uninvited. Forget about quiet study dates. You’re here to yap loudly and ask him questions.

Maybe even bring chips. Crunch loudly while he’s trying to focus. If he doesn’t kick you out, he might be a keeper. But everyone else in the library will definitely kick you out. Be respectful to them.

Day 4 — Ball Knowledge

Every Penn Stater loves football, so it’s time to see just how much he actually knows.

Tell him you wish Penn State had kept James Franklin, argue that Saquon Barkley is overrated, and insist that Rocco Becht is better than Drew Allar.

If he doesn’t immediately start questioning everything he knows about you, you’re doing it wrong.

Day 5 — Question His Major

This one is honestly just pure rage bait. Ask him what his major is, and then tell him it’s nice that he has an easier major so he has more free time.

If he’s a senior, keep asking what he’s doing after graduation and whether he’ll actually use his degree. He might block you after this.

Day 6 — Creamery Problems

Ask him to take you to the Berkey Creamery for a cute little ice cream date.

Once you get there, tell him you’re dairy-free and can’t have any of it. Maybe even throw in a few tears for extra effect.

Day 7 — Bar Lines

Take him downtown and find the longest line at a bar in State College. Tell him that’s your favorite bar, and you have to go there.

Make him stand in the cold for 45 minutes while you complain about how slowly the line is moving.

Then, just as you’re about to get inside, tell him you’ve changed your mind and would rather go somewhere else. If he doesn’t leave you on College Ave., he might be your husband.

Day 8 — Parents Weekend

Things are getting serious, so it’s time to take the next step: meeting the parents.

Invite him to come meet your parents during Parents Weekend. If he invites you to meet his parents, you found a keeper.

But let’s be real. He’ll probably get scared, ghost you, and pretend he never saw your text.

Day 9 — Halloweekend Plans

Ask him what his Halloweekend plans are, then change every single one of them.

You need matching Halloween costumes. Tell him he’s coming to John Summit with you. If he tries to make his own plans with his friends, remind him that Halloweekend is about spending time together.

Day 10 — Ask Him For A Label

You’ve made it through nine days of being evil, so it’s time for the ultimate test: asking him what you actually are.

Hit him with the classic, “So, what are we?”

Watch as he suddenly forgets how to speak. You’ve officially lost a Penn State guy in 10 days. If he passes all of these tests, you may have just found your person.
