Nice guys don’t even qualify for the race

Douglas Larry Robertson has never been lucky with the ladies.Doug remained single over Valentine’s Day for the nineteenth consecutive year. So I thought I should make an effort to find him a lady. Where else could I find a better lady than among the readers of The Guilfordian?

Doug was born on August 3, 1982. He is from Winston-Salem, a short drive from Guilford College. He has a wonderful family (One time his grandmother did my laundry for me.and folded it. Maybe this could happen to you). He is a sophomore at Guilford and is double majoring in history and education studies, and he wishes to become a high school history teacher.

The three girlfriends that he has had in his life have mistreated him.

His first girlfriend just stopped talking to him completely for no apparent reason. The second girlfriend “was seeing another guy when she claimed that we were steady,” Doug said. The third girlfriend, according to a source close to Doug, also cheated on him.

“My second girlfriend would only spend time with me at her convenience, like it was a chore or something,” Doug said. “It made me question myself and what was wrong with me.”

The mentality that Doug was lacking in some way might be helping keep Doug’s glowing personality under wraps. His mother, Brenda Robertson, agreed, also stating that “he is kind of shy.”

According to sophomore Amy Scheuerman, a close personal friend, Doug would “probably be a good date. He’s a very nice guy. He’s willing to dance, which is more than you can say for most guys . he’s very neat and well mannered. He’d be good to bring home to your mother.”

Doug has a very toned 6’2″ frame to complement his soft, sandy brown hair and green eyes. A Wake Forest fan, Doug enjoys lifting weights and playing basketball. Doug is also generous, caring, good at listening and loyal.

All of you lovely bachelorettes are probably wondering, “How do I know if I am right for Doug?” Well, I will provide some helpful hints.

Doug is a self-proclaimed “legs man.” He is not interested in a lady who smokes or does drugs. When asked whether he would prefer brains or heart, he stated “if I had to choose . heart.” He wants “a person with strong personal convictions or morals.”

So, come on down to Bryan and visit him in suite B21 (he is often up until 1 in the morning). Talk to Doug. Invite him for a soda pop at Subway. You never know what’ll happen from there.

“A lot of times I get the feeling that I’m just another face in the crowd,” Doug said. Don’t let this trend continue. Abandon your clique and help this nice guy become a recognizable face.
