So I met a young lady named Tara in December 2015 at my college alma mater’s football bowl game. She was poised, beautiful, and seemed to be fun, but, most of all, she was a sports fan! I was elated. We had great conversation during and after the game. We disclosed that neither of us lived in the local vicinity of the game: she lives in Texas and I live in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. We, of course, exchanged numbers. From day one, we would talk everyday for extended times either via text and/or phone call and occasionally via Skype. I found out Tara is 5 years my…

What Is That Smell?
So I was on a weekend road trip with my sorority sisters, as we had a step competition. Being the devastating, dynamic, divas that we are, of course we came in first place. [Know us! Lol] Anyway right after the show, we were chilling in our hotel room with the local sorors and some of their guy friends. Well I really seemed to hit it off with this one guy and we started talking about everything under the sun. While we were talking, I couldn’t help but get distracted by a weird smell. It was very faint at first, but then it started to grow stronger and stronger. I began…

Cake
So, I had been seeing this guy for a few months and things were pretty cool between us…We talked and saw each other often…really enjoyed each other’s company…all of that good stuff.

I tried to maintain contact and reached out to him a number of times to no avail. I eventually fell back because I assumed that he wasn’t interested since he was unresponsive. I received a text message from him out of blue stating that…

Weird Date
So I was on my way to a brunch date with a guy that I met a few days prior, but when I was headed to the restaurant, my car wouldn’t start. Of course, this was completely unexpected and I was upset because I didn’t want to cancel the date. I also didn’t want to inconvenience my date and have him drive to my home because it would have been out of the way. I called him to let him know that I was having car trouble and asked if he wanted to reschedule or if he could hold off for another hour because I was waiting for roadside assistance to…

Christmas Gift Ideas For a New Love Interest
So the holidays are right around the corner and you’re in a bit of a quandary: “Do I buy my new love interest a gift?” The two of you haven’t been dating for very long [less than 6 months] and you don’t know if it will progress into a full-blown relationship, but you REALLY like this person, so what do you do? Of course, you are under no obligation to buy anyone a gift and there’s no guarantee that you’ll receive one in return, but I recommend getting a little something for your new love interest to show they were in your thoughts this holiday season. You gotta play to win and, in my…
