So I had been dating this bi-racial guy (half black, half Chinese) off and on for a few months. He was fine as hell; however, I was a little apprehensive about dating him initially for stereotypical reasons [I was afraid he would be too little in the middle], but I gave him a chance. We didn’t see each other consistently because we both had strenuous work schedules, travel, etc. He gave me a call when he returned from business travel and we went out for drinks at a restaurant on my side of town to catch up. We decided to take the party back to my place where we immediately…

The Graduation
So I was very cool with my boyfriend’s family and had known them for close to two years. They lived out of state, about 300 miles, so I would only see them when I joined my boyfriend (when my schedule permitted) on a road trip, which was about 3-4 times a year. Anyway, my boyfriend wanted me to accompany him to visit his family for a special occasion: his little brother was graduating high school. [YAY!] I thought that was all fine and dandy and was excited to attend the ceremony because his brother was such a great kid with a bright future. The only problem was that my boyfriend planned on driving up…

Mr. Flaky
So this guy I hadn’t spoken to since the beginning of the year called me around Thanksgiving to catch up. I wasn’t too enthusiastic about his call because he had been unresponsive when I tried to reach him a few times previously, but I decided to hear him out. Apparently, he moved out of the area, 1000+ miles to be exact [I would have known that had he kept in touch], and he wanted to get together. I declined because I wasn’t going to make time to see someone who disappeared for damn near an entire year. As a consolation, I humored the guy by having a video chat and expressed my disappointment…

Food Fight
So I was at a bar crawl with my boyfriend on a Saturday night and he invited some of his friends to tag along. As the night went on, my boyfriend seemed to have a chip on his shoulders by showboating and making snide remarks to me in front of his friends. [Ummmmm you need to chill out because I’m really not trying to tell you about yourself in front of your friends.] We wrapped things up at the last bar and decided to soak up the alcohol with a jumbo slice of pizza. Larry, one of the tag-alongs, offered to buy everyone pizza. He asked what slice I wanted and I said…

Cash Me Outside?
So I have known this girl since undergrad (so about 15 years) and the timing was always off for us: either I was clueless and naive or she had a boyfriend when I came to my senses. Anyway, we reconnected and started spending time together going to happy hour, movies, dinner…the regular stuff. As time went on, our feelings grew stronger and we spent a lot more time together at her place and mine. [Cue porn music.] Things were going well, sex was GREAT [much better than expected], communication was consistent. I teleworked on Friday so that she could stay at my place and we had a GREAT weekend together. Monday…
