So I had been with this guy for 7 months and we decided to go to Miami for my birthday. I was excited because this was our first trip together and I just knew that we would have such a wonderful time. Before we left, he was saying that his money was tight and that he couldn’t go overboard on the trip. [My man, didn’t you know that we were planning to go here ahead of time? Why didn’t you save some money, especially when your salary trumps mine and then some?] He didn’t pay for my flight or hotel expenses, so I was unclear as to how he was…

Divorced His Child
So I met this guy online and we went from chatting to eventually speaking on the phone. I learned he was ex-military [yay!], had a great job [double yay!], and a father of three [bummer! 😢]. Anyway, the conversation was cool at first, but then it quickly became uncomfortable for me as he went on a diatribe about his first born. She was about 13 or 14 years-old and he spoke about her as if she was some bitch on the street. He said that over the past two years, she has become a terrible child, feeling/smelling herself, and being disrespectful [you know….the kinda things that a lot of teenagers do!…

Fresh Out
So I was invited to dinner at a restaurant in the city by a guy that I recently met. Once inside, it seemed a little too ratchet [neither one of us had actually been to this place before] and my date quickly suggested that we walk around the area to find a different restaurant. There were a number of restaurants on the same block, so it didn’t take us long to find a better spot and get seated. We seemed to really be hitting it off when, out of nowhere, he decided to have a confession hour of sorts. He revealed that he hadn’t had sex in over a year and that his divorce was…

Don’t Be A Buzzkill
So have you ever gone on a date with someone that sucked the life out of the entire room? Perhaps he/she was a Debbie Downer, rubbed you the wrong way, or just killed the moment? Well, we call these people BUZZKILLS. Now I’m certain we’ve all had our very own buzzkill moments and here are some suggestions on how NOT to be a buzzkill on future dates. Don’t bring up a bunch of sh*t that nobody cares about for the sake of having conversation Of course, we want conversations to flow naturally, but it’s important to really THINK before we speak. So if you have some random thoughts running through your mind that you…

Lauryn Hill pt. 2
So I had gone on a couple of dates with this guy, let’s call him PNB (potential new boo), and we really seemed to have a great connection. Nonstop laughter, endless conversation, chemistry….you name it, we had it and, not to mention, we had the SAME taste in music [SCORE!!!!]. We communicated often and things really flowed with ease. Well on this particular evening during one of our many music chats, he mentioned that he LOVED Lauryn Hill and that he went to her concert in DC earlier in the year. I laughed and said: Me: Funny story… I was supposed to be at that concert, but the guy that invited me…
