Morning Everybody!!

I’ll post my .02 cents now just in case I don’t make it back later….

Yes, Wise, we as women are the nurturing, forgiving, forever understanding species. However, after awhile (and a child or two), our patience grows thin with certain things. I have definitely become more picky (man-like) in my dating (or lack thereof, lol). I was just commenting to a male coworker recently how it has been a loooonnngg time since I have even come across a man that I was truly attracted to enough to want to know. For me, it starts with the physical attraction, so if that is not a check, then there’s nowhere to go from there. On the flip side, he can be handsome and sexy to death, but if I get the vibe that he may be a jerk, a player, a fool etc., the interest is gone. I think a lot of this has to do with age and experience and the fact that I now have a zero tolerance for bullish. And yes, gurl, G. Garvin is sexy isn’t he….cooking up that food, all chocolate and whatnot…lol

We are more accomdating, accepting of things we know are not right, and tolerant of inconsistent behavior…I often ask myself is it worht all this just to have a man and not be lonely and just up the anty to want more and be truely single untile certain basic satandards are met…Of course I am still learning this process and it is not easy after years of putting up with nonsense to demand what is right…It is tricky I think as to what one say they want and what one truely deals with…

good morning everyone! hope this day is going well for you.:) hmmm…date like a man, huh? well, i think in the terms diva put it, that means in a nutshell…valuing yourself enough to think that you deserve what you want. the difference w/men is they feel they are worthy even if they aren’t. the most low down, good for nothing, jackbutt of a man still feels like he’s worthy of the best woman in the world. w/us women, no matter how much we have it going on, a lot of us still feel that we don’t deserve to be treated right which makes us “afraid” to be picky. men definitely have that mindframe over us…they think they deserve a prize even if they aren’t one. it’s basically an entitlement complex. maybe it has something to do w/how they were raised. who knows…

I not going to turn this into a battle of the sexes just yet, BUT ladies are not realistic sometimes.

Ladies are picky generally, men are picky for the long haul. We know that a bad decision can cost us Half, who wants to end up paying for someone’s lifestyle who are no longer there. Men are super careful about who they want to spend FOREVER with.

I’m not sure how picky ladies should be, but just try being realistic.

The dudes who you think are great, perfect bank account, nice, blah,blah, blah is probably as choosy as they come because he will protect himself and his interest.

The better the catch, the better the bait has to be.

I just got finish tellin my cuzin to be careful with these ladies because they are smart (we have comparable stats..he is under 30, no kids, new homeowner), if you let a woman get too close too fast, she’ll be in there…lol

Morning bloggers.

Dam WD another great topic. This should be interesting also.

I’ve always wondered why a woman would settle for a guy that obviuosly isn’t “the one” and then commence to raising hell with her number 2, 3, or 4 selection. The poor guy wonders why she is so argumentative, mean spirited, and generally unhappy. This guy is just a fill-in until her “knight” shows up. This is another reason I think guys shouldn’t take one ounce of crap from a woman. I may not be #1 but I will not be #2 to some dude you either haven’t met or have met and it didn’t work out.

I think most guys have a formula and if you don’t fit that formula its a wrap. However, bedtime will extend our time together.

I need a little help. I was out this weekend with my girl having a good time, like we always do together, and I saw this chick that really struck me. I mean this chick was it. Anyway, she kept walking by me and looking and smiling and I was so tempted to give her a card but that would have been disastrous. I must admit that I’ve been thinking about marrying my girl (she really is a great woman) but if I’d of had a better circumstances I’d of got with that chick in a New York minute. Do any of you ever go through this? I felt like a confused teen not knowing what to do.

Blog hug to Wise! You and your family are in my prayers.

Whatup WLB (giving secret handshake)

I have to agree with Wisey on this one. I think men are choosey b/c they have the luxury of being choosey. It has been well-established on this blog that “marriage benefits women.” Although I disagree with this, that’s what the men think. So, in that vain, why shouldn’t they be picky? It’s to their advantage to be as picky as they want, b/c chances are, they will find who they are looking for loooooooong before we find a man that meets all of our so-called criteria. I think women have been lulled into complacency b/c of the larger number of single women in the world today. We feel like we have to compromise on this, to get that. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing. I tend to be one who will chose my battles. Back in my 20s, I had a whole list of requirements. I can’t tell you how much has come off of that list, and how the previous list of requirements is now a list of requests. LOL! I don’t know that compromise is bad, but in this context, I can see how it might seem a little unfair.

I guess like the late, great (*Jake, has he been buried yet?!?) James Brown said, “this is a maaaaaaaaaan’s world! But it wouldn’t be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl!”

T-Mango arrives singing “Touch Me in the Morning” by Diana Ross

Good morning all (special shout out to the WLB).

On topic: This is going to be an interesting dialogue today. I don’t view myself as being “picky” as I date. I just know that I have my own preferences and I think they are realistic. I am comfortable in my own skin, and know what I want/need from a partner…so I expect the man I date to be in the same place. I do not believe that every person that you meet deserves to share in your energy or hold a space in your life. So, as individuals look for companionship and possibly a life partner, folks have every right to be as selective as they want to be in the dating process. I do think some women begin to yield to societal pressures with regard to “having a man” and that’s when some of us lower our standards, change preferences, and/or change ourselves to try to “get a man”. Some of us just fear being alone. Not the road I choose to take, but to each their own.

….walking in, notebook in hand, and stepping to the podium for a rare lecture sponsored by the MLB for a few lucky members of the WLB….

“Ok, my sistahs, lend me your ears. You’re about to be schooled on the real secret of men’s dating.”

Ok, the real deal is that yes, men ARE picky when it comes to their women, but the reason we so often end up with what we want is that we pick from a larger pool. We’re not talking about just the raw numbers, either. You see, we don’t eliminate any woman with the possible right credentials.

When we meet a woman, regardless of the circumstance, we immediately start building the casefile in our database. If she fits our basic criteria at a 70% or better clip, she’s put in the prospect file until a later more convenient time. When it comes time to date, we pick from ALL the women we know, and go from there.

Now why is this significant??? Because, simply put, my WLB sistahs, ya’ll don’t!! You tend, for some odd reason, to try to add a second classification: FRIEND. This dirty little word is, in the humble opinion of yours truly, the biggest hidden reason why you and your fellow WLB members tend to have to scrape the bottom of the barrel. You see, while you’re sitting there working on your next reclamation project, ie the unemployed blue collar ex-con on your couch, nearly every one of you has at least one, if not two, good-looking, gainfully employed, genuinely marketable men that you don’t have on that couch. Why??? Because, and say it with me, “I only see him as friend.” You love to be around him, and you probably share a lot with him, but for some unexplainable reason, shortly after you met this affable young man, you relegated him to the Friend Zone. You know that place; it’s where most of you keep your good men that are in ‘reserve’, usually cuz they’re not “thug” enough for you. Well, catch a clue. They’re thugs for a reason. Now not to say you don’t want a little of that, after all, all real bruhs are gonna have a touch. But listen to me ladies, ya’ll got a lotta good prospects going to other women cuz they tired of sittin on your team’s bench waiting to get in the game.

Officer Musirello, Capt SJ, GAMan, Jake, Demi. Can I pleez get a cosign on this one???

truth i think you’re o.k. a lot of people have those last minute jitters especially when you’re thinking of making a serious commitment like marriage. it sounds like you’re considering other options b/c of the BIG step your considering w/your current s.o. you did show some restraint and didn’t give your card to the woman. just take some time to think about why you are feeling how you feel and if you think your ready to settle down.

By Deeva4Life

May 22, 2007 9:39 AM | Link to this

In my experiences, I’ve found that since my divorce I’ve become very open about what it is I want and EXPECT in a relationship. Now I’ll be honest and say that I’ve still had my share of disappointments because there are men out there who come with this whole song and dance about looking for a good woman and how they’re ready to settle down (blah, blah, blah) however once you open up and give them a chance they start back peddling on all those things they said in the beginning. That’s why now I’m about words and actions coinciding. Then of course there are those that “think” they are a great catch simply because they are educated, homeowners, nice rides, etc. and to a superficial woman maybe that’s enough. However these same guys are jacked up emotionally and therefore can’t and/or not willing to give you what you need in return. I’m cool with a guy having standards and being selective about their mate but I too think that men don’t always know what they want. They can have a pretty, sweet, supportive, homemaker freak at home but something in them makes them feel that there’s something better out there…which makes me feel that some men are never satified…it doesn’t matter how good you are to them. And we as women have to determine when enough is enough.

I know for a fact that I’ve been too accommodating and too understanding in past relationships. It wasn’t that I didn’t think I deserved better or that I suffered from self-esteem issues as it was me trying to show that I could be the woman he said he needed in his life. I wasn’t doing it just to “get him” it really is who I am…I’m just a giver by nature. But what happens is some men take that for granted and when I started to realize I was giving everything and getting nothing in return then it was time to go. At this stage in my life (turning 30 in 2 weeks), I’m prepared to go the long haul until the one for me comes along…and he may not be the finest or the richest or maybe he will but most importantly he’ll be for me in every aspect of a relationship. And that’s what counts.

Guy’s Dating Manual, Rule 2, page 2, section 2(b) - “If the woman doesn’t give it up on the first date, move on to the next woman. Keep moving on until you find one who does put out on the first date. After all, you spent money/time on her, took her out, so she needs to reciprocate. Then be sure to tell her you will call, get her number, and as soon as you walk out, toss her number into the trash, and just leave her hanging.”

Truth That presupposes that the woman was the only one with a choice in the matter. If she was so mean and argumentative, why would dude ask her to marry him in the first place? LOL! But you’re right. Settling sucks! But, I think you’re assuming that by compromising and being willing to be flexible about what a woman is able to deal with in a man, that she is settling. Our preferences change with the situation.

SJ You are on FIRE this week! Nice post!

Ga Man I still can’t figure out why you are under the very mistaken impression that the existence of the WLB has anything at all to do with the MLB. We are a completely independent entity.

I think men are more picky about women they date, and when it comes to marriage men do have high standards.
Yes, I have been accommodating in the past. Having extremely high standards is a good process of elimination especially when you make the comparison to yourself. You can easily ensure realistic standards when you ask yourself if you would do what your asking.

Regarding kinders 839 post. I think most guys relive their greatest moments whereas most women relive their worst. For instance, a guy that made a game winning hoop in high school would associate that to himself even if he hasn’t done much else in life. Or as you say even if he is not a prize that moment will hold him over until his next great moment.

A woman, on the other hand, will go on over and over about how she wasn’t the prettiest girl or some boyfriend she lost or something like that that hurt her.

These thought processes affect every decision we make in our lives. As I’ve said before men are programmed to win, or mentally feel like he has. Thats why when a woman wears a dude out at home his spirit eithers dies to stay with her or he leaves so he can win. These are just my thoughts.

@LadyJ, baby, I ain’t sayin it’s wrong, cuz if you’re just not feeling it your just not. But ya’ll do leave some good men on the table. Just don’t act like you HAVE to settle for less than. You may have to check your own tastes and ask yourself, “Is it really working for me?” What’s really funny to me is that these are usually some pretty good looking dudes that ya’ll aren’t attracted to. Dudes some other woman snaps up in a minute when he’s done waitin on you. I say this because if you have one of those male friends in your life, better than 90% chance he wants to be with you if you gave it a chance.

I’ve gotta say (not speaking on behalf of the WLB, as we are a group of diverse women, with diverse opinions) Blatino did break it down! LOL! We’ve all heard the complaints about the FZ. (Which is a lot different from the Ho Zone described in JJ’s post…but I digress…) Now, I can’t say that I have any unemployed, thugs sitting up on my couch, since that’s not my style in the first place. But, I agree that men have more choices, and they seem to be more open to those choices. It comes back to that whole “list” thing. If he doesn’t meet the requirements, he ends up in the…(shudder) Friend Zone.

But fellas, what’s worse, the FZ or the LTR zone? Cuz, it seems that you rarely end up in anyplace other than that. LOL!

Morning Slim, Mo, Kinder, Wise, Lady J, Sexi and WLB

I think the appropriate song for this blog today is Ciara’s Like a Boy! It is exactly how I feel some days.

“What if I had a thing on the side, made you cry. Would the rules change up or would they still apply? What if I played you like a toy, sometimes I wish I did act like a boy.”

I mean, women dating these days have to have a thick skin, and it seems that you have to be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!!! You have to date aggressively to find the person that best suits you, but when you meet him you have to turn all that off and become the sweet attractive, sexy, career-minded, yet in-tune with your man’s needs kind of girl. It seems like you can’t win for losing. Why should I have to change who I am in order to find a mate that I don’t have to “settle” for?

What up blog Said while blogging all early

I must admit I am very choosy, but good looks get you further, I won’t lie. It’s just that looks won’t keep you there. Boredom is boredom no matter what face and body it is attached to.

As far as dating, on my 25th b-day my father told me this. He said “son you have now entered in to a new phase of life. The innocence is gone. As it relates to women no longer will you meet the virgin, or the innocent girl, or the girl that has had one, or two boyfriends. You will now meet the girl who is a woman, she will have a little more weight to work off, she will be married and divorced, she will already have been messed over, she will have been in multiple relationships, she will have children, she will not believe anything that is being sold until she knows it works for sure.” He then added “Be careful because those are the ones who will hurt you” My brother who is 2 and some change older than me was nodding. Just what I was taught. So I am interested in this topic.

In dating it seems strange that if you appear too interested in a guy he’ll play the game trying to keep you at bay by at least 10 feet. But if you turn it around and don’t seem too interested in them, they blow you up trying to hang out. Not sure what the deal is on that, i guess it’s that chase thing again. too many games

I think it all breaks down to men seemingly being pickier after they get trampled. I am guilty as charged and I know several other guys that are the same way. I spent two years dating off and on before I had a prospect worth mentioning b/c I got passed over so many times for the “Friend” position. I laughed at these women b/c I knew they would be backpedaling once they got a hint of the bad boy they were ogling. They did too……And when they figure out that they made the wrong choice, I have already made my piece and rolled out.

Ladies: Look at the men around you on a regular and see which ones know how to have fun but can be respectful to everyone. That’s the guy you want to go for, even if he isn’t chiseled. More than likely the super good looking guys aren’t worth your time anyways, they just want to use you. So what if he isn’t bad enough for you??? I will put money on it that if you wanted him to he would do just about anything to show you how bad he can be.

@ Raqi…explain what u mean by…The odd thing is a woman can the perfect mate for a man, but he can be less than perfect by her standards. that reminds me of KB’sthey think they deserve a prize even if they aren’t one….Both of those states leave a bad taste in my mouth…like yeah i got a man…but..he is not really what i want in a man..For the most part i think thats underestimating the love your man has/wouid for you…u wouldnt be just a token SO..u would actually be a prize..

I mean, women dating these days have to have a thick skin, and it seems that you have to be Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!!!

To your point. Yes… you do have to have thick skin in order to deal with moments of rejection. It makes it easier to dust your shoulders off and try again. It’s helped me:-)

I think women should be chameleons…beautiful enough to attract a man with enough inner beauty, intellect, charm and content to keep him interested. Keep it real-Not every women out there ia able to achieve that type of balance. So, while there may be quantity in the dating marketplace it is sometimes harder to find the total package. That’s why so many of us are still searching and trying…until we get it “right” as we define.

Wise Sorry to hear of your loss…Feel better.

Men can afford to be more discriminating when looking for a Woman because we can have children well into old age, as well as, younger Women love dating older Men…This allows Men more time and options when dating…Women tend not to have either of these luxuries due to biological issues and societal issues…Younger Men aren’t flocking to settled own permanently with older Women, as is not the case concerning older Men.

sj i’m not sure what raqi meant by her statement but i know what i meant by mine. like yeah i got a man…but..he is not really what i want in a man. when i made my statements earlier i was referring to being accomodating and compromising. true enough, you can accomodate yourself right out of what you want. i feel for the most part, a lot of women are prepared to make these sorts of provisions where as men expect to get “just what they want.” i’m not saying it’s right, it’s just an observation. hope the bad taste in your mouth is gone now, if not use orbit it works wonders.:)

Truth Yeah that is kind of foul. I have to co-sign with Lady J. There goes that “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” moment in life.

You would be put out if your SO decided that she needed a “little taste” outside of your relationhip.

On Topic: I think that women need to realize their worth. We are not just cuddy buddies, we have value and I think that when we as a whole realize that then men will have to step up their game. But since it seems like there will always be a woman out there who wants to settle just because she under values herself, we will always have men who think they can push the envelope with us. I realized that just a little bit of common sense in dating goes a long way. Try not being available for a couple of days and see who calls first. If he’s really that into you, he’ll call and be like what’s up? If he doesn’t call, you know that what you thought was there really wasn’t and it may be time to move on. JMO

Me and my friends have an analogy we call “chopsticks.” Say if ur out on a date and ur having sushi, and the woman ur with doesn’t know how to use chopsticks properly, then she’s out. It’s over.

The chopsticks are symbolic for any shortcoming that a particular woman may have that doesn’t live up to a man’s criteria for a future wife. Sometimes tho, it really doesn’t go that far… It can be difficult to find a girl that u can possible date for a while, let alone marry one day. Gotta slow things down a bit.

But the point is, in this instance, not being able to use chopsticks properly shows that this particular woman is not completely cultured to my liking so she’s out. That’s one thing that is very important is a well balanced social partner and using chopsticks is vital to a lasting relationship for me.

This can be applied to men to. A bald head may be the “chopsticks” for some woman with the men they date.

Chopsticks, if u will, is the DEAL-BREAKER. Call it being picky… I call it ensuring happiness!

I remember a book that was published a few years ago What Men Want, written by a group of men (doctor, lawyer,a & an accountant I think). The one thing I remember these guys said was that in general women were labeled as either good for now or wife potential and that once you were a good for now girl you could never be wife material.

Hello Everyone

Wise, sorry to hear about your lost. You and your family are in our prayers.

Slim, we missed you yesterday. The guys tried to get feisty yesterday, but the WLB held it down.

Somewhat on the topic:

I have to agree with SJ’s 9:19 post. I’ve learned a lot from my brothers. Women tend to make a lot of decisions based on emotions, whereas men don’t.

For decades, women have been taught to be subservient to men. Don’t get me wrong, I am very supportive of marriage and men who truly take care of their households. My concern is with women who have the engrained mentality of being less of a person because they’re single.

With this said, I believe a lot of women say they are picky, but truly are not. Like many others, I used to have a mental list that comprised mostly of physical attributes for the ideal mate. Over the years, I realized it is more important for me to appreciate inner qualities of a person. Some of those qualities include moral values, his perspective on spirituality, economics, education, and children.

If women would stop throwing caution to the wind when making the decision in choosing the type of person to be with; I think we would be better appreciated and not viewed as expendable. Just my two cents.

@ truth On your 9:00 post. It’s called the green grass theory. It always looks greener on the other side. This is what I have said to myself in those situations, even when I am by myself. “If I was with the other girl, would I want to holla at my current girl?” The answer is almost always yes. So I figure I’m straight.

@ Blatino Brutha On your 9:31 post. Said in my best old school deacon voice “Preach brother Preach” said while standing straight with head bowed and fist high in the air. Black glove on right hand.

The friend zone should be for little girls. Maybe women should do like guys, after about the age of 13 I had no female friends. They all became potential team players. That’s just how I grew up.

I always open and close the passenger car door for her. If she doesn’t make an effort to reach over and unlock my door or at least hit the power lock I know right away that she’s not the one.

Truth Dating is pretty much a game babes. I’m not trying to date anyone right now anyway. There was this one guy that said he had to tie up some lose ends which was cool but by the time he came back around i really wasn’t feeling it. So that’s what I was going by in regards to the guy now coming around after the chick pulling back. I told him i guess we’ve switched roles or something because now I have ‘lose ends’. He always jokes around about him needing to find another girlfriend to settle down with and i told him good luck. I have other things going on right now that I can’t give that much attention. Sometimes life is about having the right timing…or just maybe we weren’t put in each other’s path for the basis of dating. Who knows?

If you read my post, I said that compromising doesn’t mean settling. If you think you’ve settled, then you probably have lost. But, you guys are always saying that women have too many requirements and aren’t willing to work with a brotha. Isn’t working with a man the same as compromising? Isn’t letting go of some of our so-called requirements the same as compromising? Trust me Truth I’m not going to settle! I make my living watching people who’ve settled get unsettled. I don’t want to go through that, even if it means I have to wait a little longer. Granny’s Panties post is not only settling, but it’s just plain stoopid! Married boyfriend?!? Lawd!

Frankly, I’ve always thought that women were pickier. ABC , to a certain extent, I agree. Most men would date any woman that has a pretty smile and a phat azz (and the smile is optional). Of course, for the relationship to progress beyond the physical stage, she has to have some substance. However, in the initial dating phase, if she’s outwardly attractive and her personality is tolerable, most men would spend some time with her and see what happens. Now, in terms of choosing a mate the opposite is true. Men tend to be much more selective when choosing a spouse. Men that get married in their early twenties do so strictly because of love (actually, that should be the only mandatory criteria.) As men get older, they tend to scrutinize potential mates more thoroughly. Primarily because they realize all that they have acquired is at risk if the situation does not work out. Most are stringent and non-wavering in their requirements for a wife. In contrast, when women see the window of opportunity for matrimony begin to close, they become far less selective. As they get older and are still unwed their standards for a husband become more relaxed (realistic may be a better choice of words). For example, typically a woman in her early twenties, won’t marry a man unless he was educated, has good credit, no baby mommas, great career, spiritually and culturally aware, etc. By the time that same woman is in her late thirties, that list of requirements has dwindled drastically. Her only mandates at that stage are: he must be employed and treats her well.

Nah really, I got a good chick so I need to either do the thang or let her go so she can get what she needs in life. I’ll decide over the next few weeks. On that vein y’all know you can pick up some major bling at the Apparel Mart. 4 or 5 carats, rolex, anything thats out there you can get on a discount. Check it out fellas when you want to put a real rock on your girls finger. Bring shades.

You’re right, as we get older, and feel like our chances of getting married is getting slimmer…thanks to Newsweek…we get less selective. But, I don’t think that’s settling. I agree with your word: realistic. That’s why I said in an earlier post that the list I had in my 20s were of requirements, and now I just have requests.

Hmmm I think both sides are equally confusing. About a month an a half ago I met this nice young lady, that I have been trying to get to go out on a date so I can get to know her alittle better. I get the impression she is a busy girl with work and school and thats great, getting priorties together is always honoralbe.

She is the kind of girl who wanted my number instead of giving me hers when I asked her out. One of the main things that attracted me to her was her allready seemingly attractedness to me, calling me pet names like baby, sweety, cutie, stuff like that. I’m always a sucker for that, I have been mislead by those kinds of comments too.

This past weekend I decided to revisit her at work and this time I gave her a flower and restated I would very much like to take her for dinner and a movie or something along those lines, she seemed still interested.

I guess what I am trying to ask is when you young ladies call guys those pet names, are you just being nice? or are you trying to show interest? I know I probably seem shallow about it but most of the time I get really confused about those comments thinking a girl is trying to slip me a hint. I’d hate trying to act on it and then turn around and look silly when she turns me down.

Anyway I really like this girl and I am going to continue to visit her and keep making moves till she gives me a yay or nay or maybe calls.

Well Red I have to say that I can’t see anything you are doing wrong. I’m not sure about showing up to someone’s job, that’s a little creepy, but if she invited you to drop in anytime, then that’s cool too. As for the side of the story that I’m getting from you it seems as though see is just really busy and maybe cannot think to engage in a relationship until she has her priorities in line… Or she just doesn’t really like you that way and is trying to throw those damn subtle azz hints that tell you so. I really hate hints. If you don’t like someone just come out and say so!!! You are not hurting anyone’s feelings by just saying “I’m not feeling you like that”. But just don’t let her throw you into the FZ.

A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary on the beaches in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town. People would say, “What a peaceful & loving couple”. The local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage. The Husband replied: “Well, it dates back to our honeymoon in America,” explained the man. “We visited the Grand Canyon, in Arizona, and took a trip, down to the bottom of the canyon, by horse. We hadn’t gone too far when my wife’s horse stumbled and she almost fell off. My wife looked down at the horse and quietly said, “That’s once.”

“We proceeded a little further and the horse stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said, “That’s twice.”

“We hadn’t gone a half-mile when the horse stumbled for the third time. My wife quietly removed a revolver from her purse and shot the horse dead. I SHOUTED at her, “What’s wrong with you, Woman! Why did you shoot the poor animal like that Are you crazy? She looked at ME, and quietly said, “That’s once.”

“And from that moment…..we have lived happily every after.”

Red if you really want her. Give it one final try. Visit her and say something like this:

”I get the impression you’re a busy girl with work and school and thats great, getting priorties together is always honoralbe.” Obviously I dig you, My presence at your place of employment indicates I’m going above and beyond to persue you ”you seem attracted to me, calling me pet names like baby, sweety, cutie, stuff like that. I’m always a sucker for that. I’m confused about those comments. I’d hate trying to act on it and then turn around and look silly.”

Give her your number one final time and let her know if you don’t hear from her you will accept her non-responsiveness as a sign of disinterest and won’t bother her again. Then sit back let her choose. If she doesn,t call……she didn’t choose you.

“Well, I figured he’d get the hint when I told him i’d be busy rebuilding my engine on my new 2008 Lincoln Navigator.”… that’s crazy…lol! That’s the type of delayed rejection that doesn’t hit you until 20 minutes later when you’re driving home thinking about what she said….and then you’re like: “hold up…if the car is brand new, why she gotta rebuild the engine…….awwww that’s some bullshyt.”

So so so realistic is your article! It’s like one saw the forest and the trees and all the other monkeys tore the bannas (spelled as such cuz when the good women got around to what was left of the emotions and the dreams well) off the trees- the christian woman with values, morals and foundation for relationships and marriages and lasting families - the world had destroyed what God destined from the beginning. Great article
