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…

Get Out Of My Uterus
Dear family, friends, and strangers: I am writing this message on behalf of women all over the world who do not have children, are not having more children, cannot have children, and any scenario that relates to our desire and/or ability to reproduce. STOP asking us when we are having kids, if we want them, what we are waiting for, if we are making room for another and ALL the invasive questions and comments (usually before an audience) that for so many, are painful and damn offensive. Some of you are as comfortable walking into our reproductive journey as you are a 7-11 and we wish you would stop. “Stop telling…

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?

You gotta play to win and, in my…

Bosom Buddies
So a guy that I dated a few years prior resurfaced and we clicked instantly. It was like old times, but 1000 times better. We both picked up a little weight in between time, but that didn’t stop us from rekindling the flame. Anyway, we were inseparable…talked to each other all of the time, went on wonderful dates…we were both smitten and I was soaking up all of those loving feelings. One night, he was dropping me off at home after an amazing date and he planted a kiss on me that completely took my breath away. It was magical and at that point, there was no turning back. We…

Braces
So I matched with this guy on an online dating site. We chatted for a few days online and eventually exchanged numbers. The conversation went well and he made mention of us getting together in the very near future. I was down to go on a date with him, but I wanted to video chat with him first to make certain he matched his pictures. [Ain’t nobody got time to be catfished! Lol] He looked as good as his pictures….his haircut was fresh, lips were awfully juicy and not chapped [chapped lips are such a turn off], and his personality was spot on, but something happened that changed EVERYTHING: he…
