I've gotten real comfortable and pretty content with my single life and just doing me and doing things alone most of the time. I worry I'll get too set in my current lifestyle and not want to even be bothered to let someone in. I think (hope) tho that'd I'd be willing to make space if the right person came along.

Went out in Boston for the first time tonight. I dont know where my friend found this place she took us to but the men were soooo good-looking. And really well dressed.... Everyone had on collared shirts and ties. The problem was that there weren't many of them :-(. Also I was really underdressed. I didn't know we would be going out to this place.
I'm going to a b-school function tomorrow and I'm excited. And I plan to be appropriately dressed this time too haha.

Men Are Crazy! I Need A Glass Of Red Wine And A Big Mac.
We've been 'casually dating' for almost a year. I already told you if you don't come through this time (i.e. commitment, ring and proposal), I'm not waiting around for you.
Side Note: White patent attorney asked me to dinner and I accepted. Hey, I'm single until I'm married. Holla.

SuchMagnificance I thought you were in the mingle challenge? What yo mean you're doing redbox and alcohol??
On another note, if this man comes over tonight. Lawd hammercy because he is TOO fine. He's such a gorgeous dark chocolate and muscular. Oh my. Funny thing is that we've been friends for a while. Perhaps around a year now? Hmmm...

Sitting under the hair dryer as I type trying to fix my hair for this weekends dates. I still haven't figured out what to wear because this weather is so temperamental. Just to make this weekend a little more interesting I will be going to brunch with another male friend on Sunday.
I will be getting my eat and drink on this weekend. Le sigh...if only every weekend could be this interesting. Let me enjoy this while it lasts.

I wonder why the few men who have approached me this year have been much older men? Recently I've noticed more younger men looking at me, but they do not approach. I'm 26 but when people don't know my age they think I'm 20/21. So I honestly don't get it with all these older men. I used to think it was because I didn't look good and I have very dark skin. however, in the last few weeks since I've stopped wearing my glasses so much and putting on some gloss and eyeliner strangers gave been coming up to me calling me beautiful and asking me if i model. I am so shocked by them! It's quite embarrassing to get these compliments because I'm afraid they'll look too closely and take their compliments back. They've mostly been women, younger and older, and older men. there is an older man now that is desperate to take me on a date, but I don't want him.

Taking a Break from Posting
@Keshieshimmer
We actually hung out on Labor Day..The fact that he has certain views about children,marriage, and his age is keeping me from seeing him too often.. Im trying not to like him too much because of that. We have fun when we are together, but I want something more and I know he cant give it to me.
*SkolarStar*
Im in the challenge but its very draining going out every week or every other week and being disappointed in the long run..Im taking a break until football season really gets into gear.

2011 has been a ROUGH year emotionally with some hard lessons learned....
1. Trust my gut.
2. Don't listen to what he says, tune in to what his actions say about him.
3. People have to WANT to change, you can't fix them.
4. I am worthy of being truly LOVED and RESPECTED.
5. I deserve 100% cause I dayum well give 100%

Keshieshimmer... We're not a couple- we dated for 6 months exclusively and called it off. Recently (last month) he has been asking me to commit as a gf but I am hesitant because 1. I'm dating other people, not putting all of my eggs in 1 basket and 2. I really want to know how serious his intentions are this time.
I can't do 6 more months and come out with nothing.
I haven't seen him since April and don't plan to unless he really makes an impression.

Note to self:
Remember how this feels when he says "sorry."
This is your reason for not accepting it any longer.

3 hours after meeting this guy last night, this is how the conversation went down:
Him: will you marry me?
Me: You're kidding me right?
Him: No, I'm serious. Will you marry me?
Me: Ummmm...no.
erplexed
Him: Well, why not? I'm a good man. A good catch. Got my ish together.
(now he won't stop calling my phone. I had to end up blocking this fool)
I need to write a damn book. ugh! As weird as this may sound, if my student/teacher was to ask me to marry him, I'd say yes before he finished getting the words out his pretty lips mouth.
And I've only known him about 5 weeks.

So I'm back from my first date with the service I'm trying. I had so much fun, it was nice to talk with someone and be engaged with them. We have a lot in common and are on the same page on a lot of things. We've already made plans for a second date.
I don't know that I'm physically attracted to him, he's nowhere near what I'm into but his personality is so big, we agree on so much, I immediately felt comfortable that right now I don't much care.
Also, although religion is a no-no on dates, he mentioned he's the son of a preacher. I'm Christian too but one of my parents is Muslim and I think we might clash on preferences when it comes to raising children. Another thing is guns, we seem to have totally different opinions on that which might be hard since I almost lost my mom to gun violence when I was 7.
But right now I'm having fun, looking forward to seeing him again. Match #2 on Friday has his work cut out for him lol.

I should probably stop complaining..... too bad I can't help it.....
but it is possible for there to be too much of a good thing..... but if I got less than that I'd be sorry and probably complain even more.....
maybe writing in my gratitude journal again will give me some perspective....

We just came back from my friend's wedding. It was very nice, in the middle of absolutely nowhere, population 250, on a family farm next to a large pond. The reception was in the barn, which was actually quite nice. Saw some old friends. And bf had a good time, too. We danced a lot. He was all energetic with it 
. Most of the people attending were white, though the bride and her family is black. Bf ended up talking to her father and her mother's current husband and having a good convo with them. I talked to the current husband and an aunt ?? myself later. He was like "oh, i spoke with your better half" and I gave him a shrug. He told the woman next to him that my bf said it was next year for us. I told him, showing a bare ring finger, that we'll have to see because i'm still waiting on that. I reported the conversation to bf later at the dinner table, and he said i don't have to worry about that. i believe him.
The bouquet ended up in another's hands (nice hustle!), but bf got the garter belt. Actually, the groom kinda misfired and it just made a very small arch behind him and landed on the floor and bf picked it up.
good times, good times.

I don't want to go to bed! Its Saturday night! I should be out club hoppin'... or schmoozing on the couch with a boo and a bottle of wine! Or laughing over a late night meal after the Kevin Hart movie!
Not sitting here alone on my laptop listening to my neighbors play random techno music at unreasonably loud levels. Seriously its loud. Things in my room are vibrating.
Ugh... I want a better life for myself.

Sooo, almost a year after the break up I have 3 new prospects. Exciting, exciting!! 
wow this is a cool thread. first time in here.
so i'm the dating queen. i date and date and date and date. i have yet to find someone i've wanted to be with long-term or who has wanted to be with me long-term (sex has always been the issue so far). i've decided to completely put dating on hold and focus on school, fitness and creating and maintaining positive friendships. i even left off romantic relationship(s) off my vision board. somedays it's hard though, b/c everyone around me is either getting married or seemingly pairing up. i don't feel ready for a real relationship but somedays i'd like to have a boyfriend. even for a moment.
