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

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.

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…

When The Texts Stop Coming
I think it’s fair to say that we’ve all been in a situation where we met someone new, exchanged numbers and after a few text messages, felt like things may be going in the right direction. But then the communication starts changing a little bit or those texts stop altogether, leaving you wondering what went wrong and I’m sorry fellas – the men are normally on the receiving end of this confusion. But have you ever wondered what you may have sent that may have turned a woman off? I’ve got a couple of reasons to explain why we stop responding to text messages, so head on over to Digital…

Profile photos men shouldn’t share
On and off, hide and reveal, resign and restart. The vicious cycle known as online dating and for the life of me, I just don’t understand how men can continue to sabotage themselves by ruining the most important part of the process – the dating profile and specifically, the photos. Do these men not realize that they can turn a woman all the way on by what he’s sharing in his profile and just the same, can turn us off completely by choosing the lazy, cheesy and sleazy photos like this debonair fella right here: Yes, this is an actual photo from someone’s profile and yes – he looks like…

5 Things Women Want in a Man
Someone new reached out to me over the weekend online and sent this: I know there’s less than a snowball chance in hell that you will even respond to this message, but sending it anyway. Your profile is well written and you’re photos are great, depicting a woman who’s at the tip of her game. Yet you’re single (presumably) and online. This might be out of line, but I’m guessing you’re still single because you’re looking for that perfect guy on your carefully crafted list of about 101 different things. But maybe… just maybe I’m wrong and if so, you’ll respond and we’ll end up riding off into the sunset.…

Older Men With Roommates?
For the love of God, why are there so many men with roommates in Los Angeles???? I haven’t even begun to share the details about the guy I’m supposed to be dating “exclusively” because I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to have agreed to that, and so soon. So in my moment of doubt (and being a tad bit trifling), I went ahead and signed up on another dating site. You know, to poke around a little bit a see if I stumbled on someone who has it a little more together. And guess what happened today? I exchanged numbers with a guy who seemed interesting enough. …

Single With Benefits
I’m still here and yes, still single. This chick here has been quite busy over the holidays and am just now starting to get into the swing of things after ending the year trying to knock out some of my goals that I’d set which included the usual suspects such as: losing weight, saving money, traveling, meeting “him” and purchasing a home. The bad news is when it came to losing a couple of pounds and meeting him I failed, failed, failed. I got nothing, nada, zero, zilch to offer for either of those two major goals. The good news is that I hit two of the major ones out…

Great First Dates
We might have a winner! We might have a winner! We might have a winner! In case the point isn’t being emphasized enough, I think we might have a winner so let’s just call him Winner! Last night’s date was a smashing success and even better, the feeling is mutual since we ended the night by texting each other pretty much the same thing and woke up texting nearly the same words as last night which – we were happy to have met, enjoyed the relaxed and open conversation an agreed how everything flowed effortlessly. Our chemistry was amazing and if you were looking over at our table while we…

When He Shows the First Sign of Crazy
“When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time” – Maya Angelou It’s just after 6am and I just ended a telephone call by telling two bold-faced lies to the man on the other end. The first lie was that I was entering underground parking (with not a structure in sight) and would be losing reception and the second lie was that I would call him right back. After about a minute of listening to the venom spewing from his mouth, I was beginning to wonder if this dude was a loose cannon, and for the remaining nine minutes on the phone with him, my suspicions were confirmed. …

We’re Just Friends
I felt some kind of way about one of the guys who has been in the friend zone now for about 3 years and it was a cross between empathy and not giving a shit, with the scales tipping closer to the latter. Should women like me feel guilty because we have one, two or ten men in the friend zone? I say no, unless we’re giving them some false hope that they can actually be something more. The guy I’m talking about? He’s nice, thoughtful and considerate but this is exactly where he will be as far as the eyes can see but sometimes I feel sorry for him. As I…

That One Connection
I’m addicted to him. I realize this addiction after my latest encounter with Papi just a while ago, and while we have been at the sexual affair for almost 20 years, the unthinkable seems to be happening. It just keeps getting better and this feeling is what frightens me the most. Incredibly sensual and the chemistry is always intense. The kind of interactions that most people will never experience in a life time. We continue to explore and no take each other’s bodies to another level. So tonight, it was my turn to be the dominant as I talked and nanny instructed him through each and every touch, kiss and…
