Good Morning Is it Friday yet?

Have you ever gone to extreme measures to find a date for a particular event — holiday party, wedding, family function? Nope. If I don’t have a date for an event, I go alone or bring a friend to accompany me, No Biggie.

Women, how open are you about your dating situation? Do you advertise yourself well when you’re single? I mean, would you be willing to put yourself out there this way?

Other than telling someone “I’m single” what else is there for me to say. I don’t need to rent a billboard and post it for the world to see. It’s on a need-to-know basis.

If I need a date like i previously stated, I’ll just bring a male friend if i’m not currently dating. Matter of fact my cousin is celebrating her b-day next weekend at 300. I’m not currently dating anyone so I just asked a male friend who I know will add to the fun to go. Foots I’m hoping he doesn’t back out, you know how he is. lol

Seasons Greetings all

Ehhhhh, I don’t know how I feel about this - if nothing else it’s interesting. I don’t think it would be an approach I’d use, but I give her an ‘A’ for coming up with a different approach. I wonder how she’d feel if nobody made any bids???

I’m interested to see what the fellas think of this.

Sort of on-topic Does anybody know what they are doing for New Years? Any party emails out there you wouldn’t mind sharing? Anything that doesn’t cost $100+ to get in? Know of anything “different” to do? Thanks in advance

I am the the “date” guy. That’s mostly how I get out to most events, exclusive and otherwise.

I would think that a woman being open is a wonderful thing. I’ve been in Texas for about three months, and I tell you the women here (for the most part) walk around looking angry. They hardly smile, hardly look as if they are enjoying life at all. And I’m finding that phenomenon in the A too.

Putting yourself “out there” as far as being single, is enjoying life and having it show on your face and in your actions. Trust me every guy on here know a happy single woman when we see her. The smile, the devilish grin “Hi” as we pass by, and the look back to see if we’re checking her out.

Ladies if you want back in, start from within. Cause I can’t love you, if you can’t love yourself.

This is the end of the motivational part of our posts today……

Good morning blogsville.

On topic: These ploys are great for the media but I don’t think they’ll find her a mate. Maybe she should wonder why after living in this world as long as she has she hasn’t accumulated at least one person she finds suitable to escort her for an evening of festivities. I bet if you met her she’s wack as hell. I’m dam near anti-social at times and I have a few women I could call to go do anything with and be guaranteed of a great time, a good laugh, and some great conversation. This shyt isn’t that deep.

Co-signing Slims post (co-signing is still allowed, isn’t it?) Grab a friend and go have some fun. This may be more of a socialization problem than a dating problem. As we rely less and less on the opposite sex we actually lose touch with them and go into our own world. MY.02 and not based on scientific fact. LOL

Who the hellz is bringing breakfast? I can hear my stomach growling.

The Truth now tips his bottle to honor Ike. (Yes I have a cap on my bottle, I’m not wasting good liquor on a dead dude)

ImAPeach404 I was discussing New Years last night. For some reason, I’m really not feeling the whole, pay $1000 to stand around in a crowded hot-n-sweaty club, feet hurting just to count down the new year. I would much rather go to a nice, crunk house party or something. So far I haven’t heard of anyone throwing one. Then I’m plagued with my best friend situation. I think she wants to come down from Charlotte. I really want to see her but I just don’t have any desire to spend it counting down the new year in a gay spot. For those of you who don’t know, she’s a lesbian

Thanks for the information kinder I love playdate (ive yet to make it to paint) so that may actually be a really good choice. They seem to have a nice crowd at all their events and they’ve been going strong for a while now. Good option! Do you know if the information is on their website???

Yes!!! Slim and house party would be right up my alley. I cannot stand clubs. So, is your friend opposed to straight clubs? Please don’t tell me she hates men that much, lol. But seriously, I feel you on the $100 thing - as if!

Maybe i’ll slum it this year and head down to Central Station. Ghetto folks know how to have a good time!

Truth, I read the article yesterday and you need too as well. She’s not anti-social, in fact she started a 5 o’clock dance party around her office to loosen everyone up. Not only that, but she has several friends who have offered to accompany her and that is probably who she’ll go with. One friend even offered to fly in from Chicago to go.

She’s not really looking for a date. She won’t consider strangers, she has to know them on some level. Sounds like the chick is just having fun.

As for me, I don’t walk around with the “single” stamp on my forehead. It’s part of who I am, not all that I am. I just live life to the fullest and the rest will fall into place. The most extreme measures I’ve done for dating was joining a dating website.

Have you ever gone to extreme measures to find a date for a particular event — holiday party, wedding, family function?

Not at all. I have never had a problem going somewhere by myself, whether it be dinner, movies, events or vacations. For the two holiday parties I’ve attended, I invited my best friend to one and my cousin invited me to go with her and her date to the other. I had a ball both times. But I do have a friend who would bring a date to Girl’s Night Out if we’d let her.

Women, how open are you about your dating situation? Do you advertise yourself well when you’re single?

Well, my social networking pages all say I’m single, so I guess that’s advertising. And if I’m looking, I’ll ask my friends if they know someone that I might like. But as for putting myself out there specifically for the purpose of finding a date like this woman has, I can’t say I’ve done that before.

Yeah, Dan, Texas is like it’s a different planet, isn’t it? Texans sure seem to like it a lot. REALLY a lot. Not being Texan, I don’t get it, but a bunch of Texans would encourage me to simply stay away from Texas on that account. Big flat desert, no problem.

Being a guy, if it wasn’t a girlfriend asking, I wouldn’t go to her company party with her. It’s a losing proposition from all angles. Usually I don’t go to my own company’s parties, but I went this year. Kinda wish I hadn’t, all the questions about my date are bothersome. It was fun, though.

Sup Blog..i think times like this is when male or female can/should go to the friend zone and give someone a promotion….and that is what usally happens…i guess its different from males and females…as a man..we can go to a party..wedding or function knowing its going to be attractive single females and we dont really have the need or pressure to bring anyone…kinda like bringing sand to the beach..but females for some reason dont like to go “stag”…before they do that they will go in a small pack.

question for the females…do yall ever ask your male friends to hook you up with any of their friends?

That PlayDate/Paint by Numbers party seems like a good alternative. I went out last NYE for the first time and it was okay. I would have rather had something a little more intimate.

Hmmmmmmmmmm…… I might have a get-together at my house. Let me check with my folks about the possibility…

Hello everyone! Perhaps it’s my mindset, but when I heard Karen’s story of going public to find a date to her company’s function I wondered WHY is it so important to have a date. I never understood why people get so bogged down w/showing up somewhere w/a date. If you want to go to the party, simply go. It says nothing about who you are if you show up alone. Goodness gracious why are so many people so concerned w/societal views.

Have you ever gone to extreme measures to find a date for a particular event — holiday party, wedding, family function? Hell No!

ImAPeach, I too am looking for something to do this New Year. I’ve never been to a New Year’s Party and that’s what I’m seeking to find this year. So, anybody who has the pulse of ATL on their radar, please let me know what’s going on as well.

ImAPeach404 Well as far as my friend goes, she doesn’t hate men but I guess it’s no different than me wanting to be in the midst of some straight ppl for New Years. I mean, she likes women so naturally she’ll want to party with others of the like. I don’t want to slob down some lesbian stranger or worse a gay-guy stranger for New Years. Matter of fact, she came down last New Years and I had recently went through a break-up so it didn’t matter where we went….UNTIL I got there. OMG!! We ended up at Atlanta Live and I had never seen so many straight looking gay guys in one place in my life. It shocked my system and I spent the night sitting there feeling down and depressed because some of the guys i saw in there were guys I’d be attracted to. I was sad for like 2 weeks after that. When she brought up coming this year, I told her I didn’t not want to have a repeat experience. She suggested we go to somewhere straight then go to a gay spot. I’m not paying $200 to do all the hopping. New Years is not a day folks need to be out driving from place to place. Find a spot and chill, feel me.

See, me, I’m a bit silly, so I go to other holiday parties and clown, have a good time, pull the “Carlton” in the middle of the dance floor, just chillax.

The smooth house party, word. That would be fresh. But it’s have to be grown folk, some Christmas music of course, then the old school Drifters, Smokey, the Temptations, some high-school-cheek-to-cheek (back-up) slow jamming. That’s be my New Year’s set.

SJ do yall ever ask your male friends to hook you up with any of their friends?

One of my male friends wouldn’t hook me up with any of his single friends if they were the last men on earth. They are in their 30s and still on that college behavior, so he wouldn’t put me through that and I don’t want that either.

I did have a Hook-Up Gone Wrong a few months ago. My best guy friend gave my number to his barber, who he’s known for many years. He called, we went out on a “let’s grab a quick bite” date to meet each other. It was so nice that he asked me to accompany him to D&B the next day (Sunday), and I did. We had a wonderful time.

Don’t quite know what happened after that. I did call to follow up, but he never called me back. When I told my friend this, he was confused. This dude claimed to my friend a week later that I never called him at all, to which my friend suggested that he call to clear things up. He never did. That was basically the end of that.

After my guy friend’s wedding this year, he told me that all of his groomsmen asked after me. Everybody. It kinda sucked that they all had girlfriends or wives and were still asking though.

This woman is very courageous and adventurous with an elevated sense of self esteem. Most women don’t like to feel cheap and desperate but mostly they are not very good at dealing with rejection……a serious self esteem problem which is the origin of many society problems. This girl is on top of her game and she is quite interesting, she does not even want use a male friend. From what I been reading, I can see that women call their guy friends when there is not another option available to them, just like trading your car when the transmission is slipping out

New year’s Eve, i prefer to chill at home because thats the time most folks dont make it to the new year and others are looking for prey on that nite, just to spoil the fun.So i like to be at home and chill and sip on wimne, cheese and some midnite goodies. And when its cold, its even better.Me and my woman are always simulating baby making when the clock strikes midnite.

WRONG! I was like how you got all these sisters and none of yall got female friends?? (sisters were all coupled up and not attractive). Both were out of town so me goin solo was my best option.

Morn to ya Staceye- have fun up-top. NYE for me was alot better back home, here I don’t plan anything just grab a bottle or 2 of ros`e and chill to see what happens.

Cee- on the deck? thats cold girl. The hoop will be dun in 5min.

good morning good people

i am not mad at Karen for doing what she feel she gotta do to get a date. but i cannot agree that ‘going stag’ is ‘falling into a trap’… i am with most that have posted today: its not that serious. really. i am curious about how things turn out, though, cause she not making a decision until noon tomorrow, a day before the party… and if he picks the guy in chicago, and he is able to fly in on time…. well, cha-ching … that will be very interesting indeed. LOL

Dreams I’m working on it, kind of a combo housewarming/NYE party, since I haven’t had my friends over for anything yet. I’m keeping it small and intimate, cause I don’t want folks tracking up my carpet. Just enough to spread the cost of food and liquor and play a good game of Taboo. LOL!!

And the best thing: I can get right, go upstairs, and just go to dayum sleep.

Morning All: On Topic- Ion think ol girl expected alot of attention. She seems to be a fun loving person who put out a blog as something to do. Creative (maybe, fun definitely. On a side note- Can you imagine how many jump-offs and myspace freaks have blogs or something advertising their status. Not a big deal, same as dating sites so to speak.

On New Topic Mayne you can’t beat a good house party. No drama(hopefully) good music and good people. House parties take all the pretense of the club away. Fellas you remember the ones you had hemmed up in the with the slow song on. Memories Dayum!!!

O yeah, Happy B-day to all my fellow Sags

On topic: I went to my company’s Christmas party last Saturday night solo and i had a great time! For some reason a lot of the men (my own directors, managers and Eteam) were in my face very much “covered” (i don’t now what’s that was about/we keep the prfessonal acctng face at work) but a couple of check kisses/hugs later it was a bit uncomfortable. So i just started talking/taking pictures (so glad that was in my purse) of their wives! And telling the oops and funnies from work. Nonetheless the night was fantastic. GREAT FOOD TOO! that’s me.

Since I was an a$$ yesterday…I make it up to y’all…the first love song that move my heart at age 23…a few hours before being shot, LOL…Just to keep the day light:

Hello, my love I heard a kiss from you Red magic satin playing near, too

All through the morning rain I gaze – the sun doesn’t shine – Rainbow and waterfalls run through my mind

In the garden – I see west Purple shower, Bell and tea Orange birds and river cousin dressed in green

Pretty music I hear – so happy And loud – blue flower echo From a cherry cloud

Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue Playgrounds will laugh If you try to ask Is it cool?, is it cool?

If you arrive and don’t see me I’m going to be with my baby I am free – flying in her arms, over the sea

Stained window, yellow candy screen See speakers of kite – with velvet roses diggin’ freedom flight

A present from you – Strawberry letter 22 The music plays, I sit in for a few

Ooh…Ooh…Ooh…Ooh…Ooh…

A present from you – Strawberry letter 22 The music plays, I sit in for a few

Ooh…Ooh…Ooh…Ooh…Ooh…

I know im late…sorry

Lol @ Slim sorry sweetie, I had to laugh at your story b/c I went through the exact same thing after a breakup earlier this year. I went Bulldogs with my guy friend and I saw more men in that club that I wanted to get with than I’d seen in 3 years. When I was younger Atlanta use to be FILLED with fine men… I often wondered what happened to them…now, I know :(

Slim, I think your girl should be open to a straight club b/c you indulged her last year…no?

SJ I don’t normally ask my guy friends to hook me up b/c 9 times out of 10 i’ve already heard some horrible story about them and I wouldn’t want to date them anyway.

Hmmmmmmmmmm…… I might have a get-together at my house. Let me check with my folks about the possibility…

Foots is that an open blog invitation?

Also, your guy friend hook up story made me realize that its actually not a bad idea b/c when/if things go wrong, you have someone besides the dude to go back to and find out what happens - a middleman!

@Dan Great post @ 8:41

I’ve mostly have gone to company parties by myself because I couldn’t dedicate time to my date at the party. The rare times I have brought a date …well frankly. I’ve regretted it.

Karen looks like a cute girl that shouldn’t have any problems meeting a guy, so what she is doing seems like a publicity stunt.

I will tell you as a guy, I stay away from situations where girls invite numbers to their front door. It’s like buying a lottery ticket to a prize you are not even sure you want and it over-inflates the value of the “prize” to begin with …kind of like those stupid shows on VH1 (Flavor Flav, New York, Rock of Love).

ImAPeach404 I think that’s why I was so down after that night because there were so many, I guess they call them homo-thugs or straight looking gay guys in there. I knew ATL was a place they found homage in but I just never saw it all in one place like that. I actually told her maybe we should just hangout earlier that day for lunch or dinner then do our own things later on that night. So I guess we’ll see what comes up. I’m stil waiting to see if Foots is opening up her carpet for us blogsfolks to come shake a tail feather on.

We should all where big ole cowboy boots and stomp in some good au-natur-ale Georgia red clay then make our way to her crib, stomping and couting down LMAO

I haven’t went out for New Years in forever. In Chi-Town, it was safer to stay at the crib, cause shyt was always jumping off. ALWAYS! When we came down in after college 9 yrs ago. We just never ventured out. Nothing ever sounds like fun. New Orleans is the best for NYE!

Karen looks like a cute girl that shouldn’t have any problems meeting a guy, so what she is doing seems like a publicity stunt.

Binford I was thinking the same thing… I think she’s looking for a promotion (she’s in advertising) and she wants them to see how creative she is. Watch, next article ajc writes about her will be about how her “creative idea” helped her land a job as the new VP of whatever.

And while im talking about the AJC… has anybody else notice how they didn’t put up a blog so Atlanta could blast Petrino??? Over the last 8 months, every time Vick breathed wrong, there was a blog up so the city could give their opinion

Slim, you are right, it was depressing. At first you’re like “D@mn!”, then you’re like “…d@mn” But you know what else, it’s actually very scary b/c I wonder how many of them are gay and how many are on the DL? Because as you know, those brothas were looking good and you probably would have given your number to a few if you would have met them in a different setting…

As a purveyor of 20/20 and Cisco (a while back when my liver could handle it) They weren’t that back. As far as liquid crack, I never liked the taste (as a little throwup arises in my throat), it was quick, dirty and easy to get TO it.

@Slim,

I hit the “trap” once or twice with a female friend, it’s interesting dynamics up in that camp. I was going to travel back with her and take some notes for a book. Just to see the difference with the curtain and illusions were dropped as opposed to the outside world…

But the atomspere is what you make it. You could walk in and be, justifiably disgusted or just watch, of participate if the mood hits. No one stresses you about anything or judges you for what you do or don’t do.
