We invite and welcome people of all ethnicities who may want to learn and share with us.
As time passes the people around me are getting more concerned about my single status. I have become the project of a few. This lady at my workplace who is really sweet decided that she would do her best to set me up with someone. I decided that I would entertain the idea because hell you never know and I have been trying the same routine for years so why not try something new.
I read it in the Bible but it seems as though things are coming to pass. The prophecy must be fulfilled. I am a single Afro-American educated woman with no kids and no husband. I come from a strong matriarch that demands respect to the most highest. I am proud tol say I am not bitter when it comes to love and relationships whether romantic or with family. I say this to you, my family is being torn apart by selfishness, self esteem, insecurity. I can't help them and its heartbreaking. I am always there when needed. I've witness infidelity, physical abuse, and verbal. read more (235 words)

I am so thankful for the advice. I chose to follow my heart and stay with him. We got married and we recently had a beautiful baby girl. Despite our 15 year age difference we are truly happy.
I am 33 years old and never had a boyfriend! I am not the type who has a bunch a brick walls around me and wont let anyone in. I can accept the fact that I havent found the one yet but to not ever have been close scares me. and yeah I tried the internet dating thing and if it wasnt for that I would have never dated, but it gets tired and I want to go out there and meet men. ANy suggestions? I dont have much girlfriends either so I feel like I need to start there. Where does a 33 year old woman find friends in the city that never sleeps? I have been to concerts, restaurants, movies, clubs all by myself and it gets real lonely! I hate that I sound like I am whining, but i really need some suggestions!! Thanks!!

Hi. Am sure glad I found this website at a particularly period of my life. I am 27 unmarried and have my first real boyfriend or so I thought. My famiy hate him and think he is not good enough for me. I even broke up with him three times because of this because I felt really pressured and unhappy and because at some level I do agree with my family. He is a nurse, so am I but I am progressing onto medicine to be a doctor. He drinks and just acts silly. My sister said he is small and thinks my friends pushed us together because they dont want me to progress and are jealous of me. what my sister says pretty much sticks because I want her approval. read more (330 words)

I before you say anything, listen to what I have to say first....:
Ok, my boyfriend and I was just chillin'; ya know, just having a good time with one another. We were in the bottom by the staircase of a garage at school. My boyfriend got on top of me and we were making out and everything. Before all of this, I was just sitting by him with my legs across his legs as people passed by. Some were a group of guys who just shook their heads. I was just telling my bf how he needed to break his habits (ie smoking, etc) and he was talking about me skipping class with him... just this once. So, I gave in: this was just my FIRST absence of this class.
Ok... I'm gonna try to talk about the question I am sure you are all dying to hear the answer. Now remember this is only Trey's Opinion... so I can only give it to you from my perspective.
I consider myself to be a pretty faithful guy... to the point where my male friends are amazed; however, if I am dating that's a different story. Now once I have made the commitment that it will be me and that person... that's what it is. When the love making becomes boring or routine I will purchase outfits or make suggestions for improvement. If that doesn't work, I will end the relationship before I cheat.

When was the last time you gave your heart to someone? Have you ever been in love? Is love just a concept or just the way he makes you feel? Man there has been 2 guys that have come into my life that just made me feel good. One just made me feel good but the other one took me to that next level. I will never forget Phillip, such a gentlemen, goals and ambition. The energy that man radiated was contagious. I caught a high by just being next to him lol. I have never once believed that all men are the same because that would be ignorant.
But when you come in contact with a real man, wow it will knock you off your feet. I'm just remembering when I just felt good, sitting at work just smiling to myself. i'm just taking a break for now! But share with me about the times a man just made you feel good and took you to a higher plane of consciousness.

So this is a long story, please bear with me. So here it goes.....
I have a relative who committed federal crimes in 2006. We got word that federal agents were looking for her around town looking for them. My relative moved to another state in hopes of starting a new life.
In January of 2007 I met a man a bar. When I met him I was drunk. I was pissed drunk! We left the bar together and went back to his house. We had sex and in the middle of the sex I started crying. I was scared. He quickly got up and helped me get dressed and then drove me home which was 45 minutes away. The next day I called him to say thanks for bringing me home. read more (606 words)
