Finding yourself #foreveralone? Stop posting angsty poems on Tumblr and instead head over to the SGA’s fourth annual Guy Auction Feb. 13. Maybe you can buy love – or at least contribute to Pennies for Patients and earn a fun date in the process.
The Black & White has prepared your ultimate guide to the guys and their dates. Ratings are based on the date’s creativity, the potential for fun and the possibility of a second date.

Scoring this date may be a stretch, but these hilarious seniors promise it’ll be hot.

Charles Augustine: Dinner and recording your own song
