So I was at the bar with a group of friends when I felt someone squeezing on my side. It caught me totally off guard because I was in the middle of a conversation with one of my homegirls and knew it wasn’t her grabbing me on my love handles. I turned my chair around to see who touched me and it was some guy who was sitting in the stool right next to me at the bar. Me: Ummmmm…why are you touching me? Can I help you with something? Him: Oh, I just wanted to get your attention to talk to you. Me: My attention? Are you kidding me right now? You’re…

Lil Man
So I had been talking to this guy regularly on the phone and we finally made plans to go on a date. We met at a restaurant near my home and had a ball. We ate, drank, conversed [the conversation was GREAT!], and danced [they had a live band]. It was a wonderful date! It was time for us to part ways, so he walked me to my car. He pulled me closely and kissed me. [OH EM GEE! Fireworks!] The kiss was absolutely amazing and I didn’t want to stop, but eventually pulled back to avoid getting too carried away. As I hugged him goodbye, he said he wanted to talk…

Tony
So I met and became friends with this guy named Tony (not his real name). I found him attractive, but never had the courage to really make a move because I was shy and didn’t know if he was remotely attracted to me. We eventually lost touch…nothing personal…we just didn’t communicate as much. Fast forward a few months…. It was a normal afternoon and I was at home chilling [because I had nothing else better to do lol]. My phone rang and it was Tony!!!! I was brewing with excitement and simply couldn’t answer the phone quick enough. I made up my mind that I was going to stop being a…

Trickery
So I was on a first date with this guy at a restaurant that recently opened. I was excited to go to the restaurant because it was a chic, modern spot with a loungy vibe (if that made any sense) and they were big on featuring local artists (I’m an artist by the way). Anyway, things were going well (so I thought) until my date made a weird face. Me: Is everything ok? Him: Man what kind of place is this? It’s a whole bunch of cake boys (translation: homosexual men) in here? Me: Ummmm it’s a new restaurant and what dudes are you referring to anyway? Him: *points* Over…

Bait & Switch
So I lost my job [layoff] and was without health insurance. Due to my layoff/unemployment status, my health insurance went from a little over $100 per month through my employer to over $500 per month and I simply couldn’t afford that. To my surprise and disappointment, I had fallen very ill such that I had to go to a specialist to get an MRI which cost close to $2,000 out of pocket [how the f*** am I gonna pay for this?]. I was REALLY upset about it and like any normal person, I expressed my concern on Facebook. [lol] Once I shared my grief about not having insurance [this was before…
