A Different Kind of Infidelity: Cyber Cheating (Part 1 of 2)
Sometimes I find myself wondering about this prolonged status as a single woman, wondering if the level of scrutiny and skepticism placed upon men I have encountered has been a little too much. While chatting with a long-time friend about this, I was reminded of all of the ridiculous experiences from my past, particularly the level of patience exhibited when dealing with one of my ex-boyfriends. In what seemed like the longest relationship of my life (lasted just 8 months), I had endured everything from bipolar mood swings, emotional boxing matches, compulsive lying and manipulation, struggling with a smaller than average penis, and cyber cheating. It was that last one…

Reappearing Act Gone Wrong
It’s amazing how men think they can just disappear and pop back into your life like it’s nothing. But this hangover thought wrong and caught me on the sober end of taco Tuesday. Grab your headphones and get ready to LISTEN to a raw and UNEDITED explanation of why I sent that venomous text in my last post. This is my first time trying a podcast style post, so don’t judge me. I was pissed. Take a listen: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9Z8h58LxeVOWXFfSmRHWTNkazg/view?usp=drivesdk Until there’s a cure… Carmen Jones

I’ve got some ‘splaining to do…
I know, I know- I can’t just drop a screen shot like this and not explain but I’m on my way out the door. Besides, I haven’t even shared the update on my felonious friend I told you about last time. So for now, let’s just say Jon B. won’t be trying to “get together” again. Carmen Jones

Dating Someone Who’s Been to Prison
Where do you draw a line in the sand that separates judgment from an inability to relate? It seems as if a lot of the men trying to date are in situations that make it hard for a woman to want to deal with them.

And just like that…
My swirly stint with Jon B is over! It became too confusing trying to decipher his mixed signals when he’s doing one thing but continuously tells me that he wants to “take things slow” What the hell does that mean?!?! Not once did I press him with one of those “what’s next” or “what are you looking for” conversations, not once. While he’s repeating his mantra of wanting to take it slow, he should have just said he’s not interested in the seriously dating (or dating me) because I was getting a little confused. Wanting to see me more than one day in a week, especially taking up my weekends isn’t necessary if you want to take it slow…

While contemplating my next move with Jon B, I’m realizing that aside from him being cute and seemingly good on paper, we really don’t have that much in common or at least nothing else that I can tell because he doesn’t talk about much. Sure, we both enjoy eating and indulging in cocktails, but other than that I only know that he’s hustling to expand his business, takes a lot of naps and feels slighted that his daughter isn’t too interested in his Skyping calls. That’s it – just the surface and superficial stuff. So as I’m telling a friend about his latest radio silent act like, she silence me the most perfect suggestion: “You need…

Down with the Swirl- Part 2
So it’s been a few weeks of this swirling dating adventure with Jon B and I have a few observations to report. No, not THE actual R&B crooner hottie himself but as much as the new guy hates being told, that’s exactly who he favors. 😍😍😍😍😍 The Look a Like and I met on a Wednesday, went out that Friday, Saturday AND again that Sunday. Repeat the following week and again. What does this mean? Hell, I don’t know. We’re either mildly interested in each other OR we’re just looking for time fillers. I haven’t been able to get a solid reading on the Look a Like, but I’m guessing…

Types of Men to Avoid When Dating
Years ago when people actually read email forwards, I remember one that had been circulated quite a few times. It was called the 12 types of men and while it was really targeted a more”urban” audience with its references to thugs and baby daddies, but still had a few on there that everyone could relate to. Having become a seasoned dater, I can honestly say that I’ve probably dated every type of man there is – both good and bad. While it’s true there’s no such thing as perfection with anyone, there are definitely certain types that can drive you bat shit crazy or close to it. You’ve read about many…

Down with the Swirl
Everything about this latest situation is different. I woke up this morning to both dogs at the foot of the bed; Thelma on his side and Louise on my side. Every now and then, feeling each one turning around head as if to make sure we’re in our spot. After snapping the photo of our guardians, I turned over to study the intricate design of his tatted back. I love the way his olive skin tone allows each detail to pop. Oh yes, I said olive. I said this was different; it’s my first time swirling while dating and I like it. We all know I’ve had plenty of success…
