Table 4 One

Are you a “side chick”?   Does your man take you around his family?   Does he take you around his friends?   Do you speak to him throughout the day?   Have you ever been to his house?   If your answer to most of these questions is NO, you just might be a side chick!   Now, I know some people are okay with being in this position, but I for one, AM NOT! When dating I like to receive a substantial amount of attention.   Not necessarily to consume the life of the person I’m dating, but I like to know that I am the one person that is receiving most of their attention.   Some women are okay with sloppy seconds, being the “chick on the side”, but it’s just not me!   I am too spoiled, loud and in need of attention to be in that position…I just don’t have it in me!   I was used to being in a relationship, receiving all of the attention and all of a sudden I’m supposed to take what I can get!?!   NO! I don’t think so! Some women are okay in ...

I was going to write about something totally different today, but all of the random “Good Morning” texts I received this morning completely changed my mind!   Now, I’m not sure if I’m the only one this happens to, but what’s up with this dreaded “Good Morning” text!?!

To settle or not to settle? That is the question… As I sit and watch an episode of VH1's new hit show “Single Ladies”, I have realized that I could sooooo be a character on this show!   Now, there's Val, the woman who has it all!   Her own business, wonderful friends, a beautiful home, but no LOVE... Keisha is the vixen and desired by most of the men she meets!   A beautifully independent woman, who views dating as freely and frivolously as men…but she may have actually found love this time around.  Lastly there's April; she had the perfect marriage, but became bored in her relationship and cheated on her husband.  She is now going through an unwanted divorce.   All that's missing is me; the recently single, confident, cute and outgoing woman who wants to have fun dating, but is never approached by the men she considers to be "worth it..." Fits right in, huh? I have great friends in my life, one of whom is my mother; I talk to her about almost ever...
