nicknames for guys i date

I have a hard time saying "no" when guys ask me out.  Let's just chalk it up to the romantic in me that believes in True Love-- because what IF that guy who works at the candy store was The One?  What if I said no and missed out on the Mr. Lindsey Marie of my dreams?  By saying "yes" every time, I've gone on a few too many dates, and my poor friends can't seem to keep their names straight (due in part to the fact that about 50% of Ann Arbor's male population is named Mark).  To help my friends out, I've been utilizing a genius method for creating monikers for my would-be suitors:  "_______-guy."

So far there's been PhD guy, MBA guy, professor guy, candy store guy, movie star guy,  online dating guy, Bar Louie guy, Rush Street guy, tennis pro guy, football player guy, baseball player guy, soccer ref guy, county commissioner guy, cell phone guy, and bouncer guy...to name a few.  (As you can see, I tend to chase the jerseys/academics). Thankfully, my friends have never met these guys-- their names make them sound way cooler than they are.

But where did this nickname system come from?  It all stems from "cute Jewish boy" (CJB for short).  It started when my dearest friend and housemate in undergrad, the Serena van der Woodsen to my Blair Waldorf, had a huge crush on a cute Jewish boy (no one said this naming system was rocket science).  When Serena tried to call him Harry Goldenblatt we had no clue who she was talking about.  All she had to say was "CJB" and it was crystal clear.  Sadly, nothing came of Serena and CJB, although we did name one of our Halloween decorations after him.

I suspect that any of my ___-guys will go the way of CJB-- just another guy with a story/nickname.  If I actually like a guy, I plan on making sure my friends know his name.  Otherwise, just picture it:

Me: "Hey friends, this is Ronald McDonald."  (Look expectantly at friends to recognize guy)
Friends: "Who?!?!"
Me: "Umm....Fiancee guy?"
Friends: "Oh yeaaaaaaah... Fiancee guy!"

PS:  The one _____-guy I'm hoping to never add to my list?  Married in Vegas guy.
