I Want Someone On Fire For Me!

"Fire and Desire" -- Remember that song by Teena Marie and Rick James.

In a nutshell, it talks about how a man used to be cold-blooded and mean and cruel but then this woman turned on his fire. She showed him what a love could do.

Well, this song came to mind while having a conversation with a guy friend. He was telling me how when two people are in a serious relationship, one shouldn't have to ask the other for diggity or kisses.

I agree.

Then he shared with me how he has been in a situation before when he had to ask and how he never wants to be in that type of drought again.

I couldn't agree more.

He continued and said that he wants a woman who is on fiyah for him.

This is when it got really goood to me. I truly agree.

After all, who wants to be with a person who is only lukewarm on you. It's sorta like that I can take it or leave it. Take you or leave you. Coma Ci Coma Sa --- I don't even know if that is the spelling. LOLOLOL

Any who.

While love and respect and admiration and all that good stuff feels good in a relationship, I would have to say that being desired is HUGE ummmmm Humungous, Gigantic, XXXX-Large and Supersized.

And I am not talking about lust. I am talking about someone who wants to talk to you. Someone who appreciates the things you do. Someone who wants to spend time with you. Someone who thinks of you. Someone who will drop what she or he is doing to do it to you! LOLOLOL

On Fire with Desire for you!

His conversation made me think of another conversation I had when I told some peeps that if you don't really wanna have diggity with your mate, you may not like him or her.

If his or her breathing or coughing or snorting or ugly feet or dark knuckles or dirty ears or any of those little things get on your nerves and you don't really need to be with that person. LOLOLOLOL

All that keeps you from craving him or her like they deserve to be craved, so get out the way and make room for Mr. Cough A Lot, Or Ms. Ugly Feet to get the person in their life that they truly deserve LOLOLOLOL

Plus, why would you waste your time with a person and you are not on fiyah for him or her? Or is being desired important to you? How important on a scale from 1 to 10.

Women Get Pink Balls, Fo Real, Fo Real

Just about every woman has been hit with this line, "You are giving me blue balls."

I heard it a lot as a teenager. ;)

So when I stumbled across information about women getting pink balls, I read the article feverishly.

Pink balls is when a woman is right dere, right dere, right dere and then he climaxes and she is left with a very empty feeling. LOLOLOL

Although I'm laffin, it's not funny at all. Talk about a let down.

But because this is seriously a problem in bedrooms, medical experts had to give it a name.

Interestingly, I have heard that it takes a woman about 15 to 20 minutes to climax while it takes a man 5 to 7 minutes. Whew, there is really something wrong with that timing.

Essentially, if a woman isn't rushing, she is likely gonna miss an opportunity unless she has found someone who waits. LOLOLOLOL

Premature ejaculators don't stand a chance. They are handing out pink balls like a gift.

With blue and pink balls, the same physical changes take place. Blood rushes to the genital areas, causing arousal. If the arousal is not released, ummm if no climax is met, the blood just stays there, and this may cause pain.

Soooooo the next time a man complains about blue balls or not getting enough, ladies, you can have a gripe, if you are not being satisfied. Tell him, "You give me pink balls!"

Fellas, can a man's ego handle that he has given a woman pink balls? Ladies, would you tell your guy that he is handing out pink balls just tooo much, tooo much?

Have You Ever Heard Of Obligatory Sex?

I have a theory.

Because the brain is the main sex organ, I think, well heck I know, that the way a person is treated or spoken to can decrease sexual desire.

Namecalling and talking mean can send desire plummeting --- ERRRRRRRR Boooom!

After all, who wants to really do the do with a person who is talking crazy to them or treating them terribly?

Any who.

With that said, I think that someone can increase your sex drive. Hmmmmm. If someone is treating you really nice and special, you will crave them, you will desire them, you will want them.

This theory is based on a conversation that I had with several women. Some say that the desire to partake just isn't there like it used to be.

Some say I did it so much when I was younger, I can take it or leave it?

My eyes get wide, and to myself I say, "Huh? Really? What? Is there a shelf life on desire?"

I have several opinions about how medication can affect one's drive -- women and men. Being on medication has side effects and sometimes popping pills for whatever ails you can kill your sex drive.

When I tell people this, they usually look at me like I'm saying something that isn't true. It's true. Ask any doctor or heck read the fine print for side effects of medication.

But in the midst of this conversation about sex, medication and desire, a few ladies admit that if their significant other brings flowers or plans a romantic evening that they then feel obligated to perform. Wowsa Yowsa!

This time, my mouf opens and I verbalize, "Are you kidding me? If you get flowers or taken to dinner or treated really special, you just don't feel all warm and bubbly on the inside and just wanna?"

No, No, No, No, I hear resounding in the room.

I am in shock. I am in disbelief. I am glad I was not walking because I may have tripped and fallen. LOLOLOL

But my question is this: Is obligatory sex a big problem in relationships? Do people just feel obligated to indulge?

Is Kissing More Intimate Than Sex?

If you caught your mate kissing someone would you be more upset than if you caught your mate in bed with someone?

Wowsa!

This was the gist of a question that I saw on Facebook the other day and it really got me to thinking. Earlier in the day, this same FB friend asked what is more intimate diggity (sex) or kissing?

Hmmmm both.... but errrr uhhh if you had to pick one which one would you pick?

Whew, that's a hard one sooooo I'll go with diggity without a condom.

While I picked diggity, I've heard a huge complaint from men and women alike about their mate having sex with them and never bothering to kiss them.

There should be a rule in bedrooms across America...kissing during diggity is mandatory, even with morning breath :) If your breath stanks, go to the dentist, brush, rinse, floss and scrape your tongue.

Any who.

Which one is more intimate -- kissing or diggity?

Guys Hurt More After Breakup

Men hurt worse after a breakup.

Hmmmmm.

When I saw this headline, my eyes immediately jumped in to read about research done by the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.

It said the findings are based on the fact that men do not confide in anyone about their feelings while women do. The study made it clear that men don't necessarily talk because they don't have anyone to talk to. They just don't talk.

I have to admit that I talk myself through stuff. I have a few confidantes who I definitely reach out to when I'm feeling hurt, unhappy, disgusted all dat. Heck, I do not hold too much in. I am not trying to die of a heart attack or a stroke.

Any who.

After reading the article, I immediately think about the breakups in my life. The main one that comes to my mind is my marriage. Yea, that did hurt. And then I think about a few others.

A boyfriend in high school broke up with me because I wasn't active. I remember how this really devastated me. Man, I like him sooooooooo much, but not that much LOLOLOLOL

Then there was one of my boyfriends in college that came to mind. Yea, that hurt too. Probably because we spent sooooo much time together and it was so tough trying to get acclimated to not being with him. But whew, I am sooooo happy that we broke up. What was I thinking?

Interestingly, it seems women get accused of being bitter from hurts of relationships past.

Soooooo, who do you think hurts more -- men or women -- after a breakup? Why?

Happiness Is...

Happiness is one of those things that is very difficult to describe. It's sorta like you feel it when you feel it. You know it when you experience it.

Like a drug addict searching for the feeling after that first hit, I think people are constantly chasing, seeking, yearning, wanting, craving happiness.

I actually put it right up there with good diggity and we all want good diggity, right?

Any who.

Happiness is one of those things that no matter how you wanna describe it, you just can't.

I had a conversation with a guy who said, "I just want to be happy" when asking what he was looking for in a potential mate.

Hmmmmmm.

Now we all know that happiness is a compilation of stuff, but it's the stuff that makes up happiness that we cannot necessarily put our finger on. It's like a perfect recipe -- 2 teaspoons of this so if 5 teaspoons are put in ugggg. Sour taste in our mouths.


Gretchin Rubin, a best selling writer, has a book called "The Happiness Project." In the book, she writes about how she used theories and studies to help with happiness.

One ingredient of happiness she says is if you make others happy. Take the quiz at her site: http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2009/05/quiz-do-you-make-other-people-happy.html

And then tell me what are some of the components of happiness for you?

Compliments Are Just Game?

I have come to the conclusion that maybe I do NOT know the difference between a compliment and a guy running game on me.

Case and point. I was talking about working out with someone and a fella in the room said he wanted to meet and workout, too. Heck, I'm always happy that a black man or woman is going to workout to combat hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, bad nutritional habits, all dat so OOOOOOK.

He asked me to put his number in my phone and call him the next time I work out. OK, no problem. I don't have a problemo with that. I grab my phone and tap, tap, tap it's in. I say, "Well, it's going to be really hot this week so I may not workout until Wednesday and probably early in the morning."

He says, "OK, but just call me."

Right then, right then at that very moment I realized that dude did not want to work out. He wanted me to call me.

Duh.

Clearly, he ran game on me.

But as I described this scenario and a few others to a male relative, he reveals to me that men run game all the time.

OOOOOOK, meez know that!

But then he says that a compliment is even game.

Huh! What you talkin' bout Willis?

A compliment, really, a compliment!

I tell him "Nah, game to me is when a guy is trying to get something. Get your attention. Get you into bed. Get into your head."

He says, "Exactly!"

So we go back and forth on game vs. compliment. He gives me examples and then I give him examples.

"I love to see you walk in heels." Ummm, compliment but game to someone who really loves.

"I want us to have a baby together." Ummm, game, and of course I knew this.

"I miss your pretty face already." Ummm, game! Heck, I thought it was a compliment.

Any sort of pickup line of course is game. OK, OK, OK, I get that but then he says that a man sometimes may even say something that he does NOT even mean just to make a woman smile with the thought that possibly he can get her in bed.

Well, Dayuuum! That's just a shame.

Soooooo, do you know the difference between compliments and game? Is there a difference to you? What is it?

Most Admired Body Part Is....

I have a new phone -- the Drooooooid. LOLOLOL

Soooo with the new phone I have downloaded a few apps, the free ones of course. :)

I downloaded a diet app, a bible app, an inspirational saying app, a horoscope app and a sex facts app and a few more. Yea, a variety but I'm a multilayered person.

Any who.

I spend a lot of time just learning little tid bits. So I started clicking through the sex facts app and I stumble across a fact that read: A man's butt is most admired by females. Hmmmmmmm

I kept clicking and clicking, click, click, click...I was hoping that there would be one on the body part most admired by men but no such luck, at least not yet.

But then I started thinking about my behavior. Do I really check out fellas derrieres a lot?

Yea, I check it out but I think my eyes zoom in on arms. I love nice arms.

And heck, I would have thought that the buttocks would be the most admired body part by men.... well, either that or boobies.

And although you know that the bootie is the most admired body part on a man, would you have thought that? What would you have said is the most admired body part by men and women?

Money, Not Cheating No. 1 Reason For Divorce

Today, this very day 10 years ago, I got married but errrr uhhh I am divorced.

I will never forget 617. Heck, sometimes I even play it in the lottery and as I hand the cashier the money I am thinking mama need a new pair of shoes and then I pop my fingers like a real gambler LOLOLOL

Any who.

This is the second anniversary, and it's not really an anniversary, maybe a commemoration. I dunno. But it is the second of whatever it is that I have had since my divorce.

And I just wanna say whoever said time heals all wounds ain't never lied. :) He or she deserves a statue in front of all divorce courts in the country.

Interestingly, people still want to know why I got a divorce and ummmmm nonna ya! LOLOLOL No, really it is no one's business.

Quite frankly, I get a bit funky, nasty, irritated when people who really don't know me think that they can ask me my business.

One old dude had the nerves to tell me recently if it was over another woman you should have forgiven him. I looked at him like he had two heads. First, I am a trained journalist so I recognize that essentially that is a question and second, why, oh why do you think I want to tell you anything about my marriage or my divorce!!!! UGGGG

Any who.

I don't understand why people assume that most marriages break up over infidelity. There are several reasons people cannot make it. Heck, one of my other divorcee friends told me he thinks that relationships are only meant for a season, but I'm going to blog about that another day.

But the No. 1 reason people get divorced is MONEY, NOT CHEATING!

The other top reasons for divorce:

Infidelity.

Poor communication

Change in priorities. This can be caused by having kids or due to one's job, big things.

Lack of commitment to the marriage.

Sexual problems.

Addictions

Failed expectations of your spouse (believing one is a super hero or that he/she can fix or be everything to or for you)

Physical, emotional or sexual abuse.

Dere it is!

I Don't Want To Be A Nurse Wife

There are some things that I just have to accept about myself. I've said it before and I will say it again. I am what I am what I am.

Soooo with that said, I am no longer going to apologize for feeling the way I do about dating men who don't take care of themselves and end up with diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol.

Now don't get me wrong, if I am already with a person, I guess I will have to say OOOOOK begrudgingly, yep begrudingly. But if I can help it I don't want to talk to, date, spend time, have a situation or a relationship with someone who is taking medication.

These medications are known to affect the DI, but even more than that I don't want to spend my wonderful 40s, although I am not there yet, 50s or 60s trying to take care of someone who didn't or doesn't want to exercise or eat right to stave off some illnesses.

I have put forth an effort to try to take care of myself so I expect the same in a potential life partner, period.

Soooo there are a lot of things to think about when dating and seeking a potential life mate. Am I physical attracted to him? What is her credit score? Does he have a relationship with Christ? What is her level of education? Does she know how to cook? Is the diggity good and all dat...Where do you rank health when dating?

Better To Have Loved And Lost Or Not Loved?

When men fall in love I think it is a totally different experience than when a woman falls in love.

Well, at least the after effect is different. Women, I think, are more likely to desire love again. For fellas, I am not so sure. It seems like they are wounded birds forever.

One fella told that he was completely bare, stripped down and vulnerable. In other words dude's nose was wide open, as my grandmother would have said. He was all the way in. And heck that is a good thing.

But as he shared his raw emotions with me, I told him it's better to have love and lost than to not have loved at all.

He kept saying how he was going back to the Old Him. The one that didn't allow that kind of stuff to happen.

I laff right in his face. Nah, that's not necessary. That will only show that your maturity has been shifted into reverse.

He maintained that how he felt is something that he will not allow again.

Poooor baby, I say but this time to myself. But then as a divorcee, I have to say, "You live and learn, and you love."

But I stumbled across research that says that most divorced people do NOT agree with me.

The stat says almost 40 percent of the single population is divorced. About 60 percent of the total single population has never been married before.

And then it said this:

"The jury is in: more people think it's better to have never loved at all then to have loved and lost."

But I cannot understand for the life of me this statistic because LOVE is the most powerful emotion on the planet and shouldn't everyone want to experience it.

Sooo do you think it is better to have loved and lost or never loved at all?

What Would Your Exs Say About You?

Someone posed an interesting question to me so I thought I would share. What would your exs say about you?

In my opinion, it is not smart to speak unkindly of an ex husband or boyfriend because as much as you talk about them you are revealing something about yourself. Yep, you are.

What is interesting however is that while it's not a good idea to speak negatively of others, it is necessary to be honest. Clearly, something was wrong because the relationship didn't work.

This is like a tightrope walk. Wooooooo, Nellie! LOLOLOLOL

Sooooo, what would my exs say about me? I looked at this feller LOLOLO and said spoiled, old-fashioned, sensitive, selfish and ummm that I can be a pistol.

While they may have many positive things to say, I focused on what I thought they would say base on the nature of the break up. And I have to say that I am all of the above. I have not meant to be selfish, but I have been in the past. It is what it is.

Heck, I actually don't know what they would say but based on the circumstances I think that this type of feedback may be given.

Any who.

What do you think your ex would say was one of your qualities or characteristics that led to your breakups?

Please Look For My Hotspot

I took issue with a guy recently who said that after a woman has been through soooooo much she isn't necessarily interested in finding a man's hot spot, kissing him and loving on him.

Exsqueeeze me.

I said hole hole hole (not hold) up! Are you saying that if a woman has experienced difficulties in relationships then she is no longer affectionater etcetera etcetra :)

He looked me dead in my face and said "Yes, that is what I am saying."

I like to listen to people and try to understand their angle. This one I couldn't get at all, so I said, "Are You Kidding ME!?"

Again, the response was a convincing NO. He wasn't pulling my leg. He meant what he just said.

Well, I say, if a woman is not feeling adored and special, heck you might not get nothing but I think saying that it's because she has been through sooooo much is a bit of stretch.

He goes on to tell me that this is one of the reasons why he will not date women who are his age (early 40s). He says younger girls want to talk dirty and whisper in your ear and find your hot spot.

I pounce on bofe feet and hands, "Are you kidding me?!!"

He wasn't kidding at all. Really, he wasn't kidding.

So then I go into the whole idea of being a selfish lover. Some peeps are just selfish in bed. They aren't interested in pleasing. They only want to be pleased! And ummm, this is the absolute worse, LOLOLOL

Any who.

We go back and forth on this, but he maintains his original thoughts that older women in their mid to late 30s on up aren't necessarily interested in finding what makes her love interest tick or shake LOLOLOL in the bedroom.

Soooo what do you think? Can a selfish lover be taught to be a pleaser or is it a lost cause?

She Had Missing Teeth, He Had Bad Breath

I was sitting in a coffee shop recently ear hustlin'. LOLOLOL

The TV was on a court show and one of the young ladies speaking had a missing toof, I mean tooth. LOLOLOL

One of the fellas in the coffee shop said to another fella, "Man did you see her mouth. It is expletive up. She is a pretty girl but her mouth."

Now, everybody is focused on the TV.

I notice that the young lady is holding her lip a bit and one of the guys picks up on this, too. "Look at how she is holding her lip, man?"

Before soon, the conversation turns to teefus and moufs that are jicky jacked up.

While I'm sitting there silent, my mind wanders to a conversation that I had with a gf about someone who had peg teeth.

When she explained that peg teeth are little bitty teeth with a bunch of spaces I was on the floor laffin.

Wow!

I definitely like nice teeth and clean mouths, ummm scrape your tongue, floss and brush :) And I cannot, repeat dat mutha, cannot do the missing teefus on the side that show when someone smiles. And it is a MAAAAAAAAAAAAJOR problem. LOLOLOLOL

I cannot do plaque either. I don't really have a problem with a gap, but it shouldn't be a gap that three teefus can fit.

Any who.

While at a birthday party, there was a young man attempting to hold a conversation with me. I am telling you that a green cloud of smoke came out of his mouth because his breath was so bad that I felt like somebody walked by me and passed gas and kept going. It was soooo bad that I immediately had to figure out a way to end the conversation.

Peeps, that test of holding your hands over your mouth to get a whiff of your breath doesn't work. Lick your hand, let it dry and sniff. If it knocks you out, get a serious regimen going that includes visiting the dentist. Yea, it's expensive but soooooooo worth it LOLOLOLOL

How much does a person's mouth, teeth and breath play into attraction? After all, if you have to play kissy face, isn't the overall dental hygiene important?

Moving Into Her House

It's always interesting to get people's take on the many different situations that are dealt with in a relationship.

I have had some of the most interesting conversations about homes, his home, her home and their home.

Without a doubt, I think a man moving into a woman's home may be one of the hardest things on the planet to do. I am a woman sooooo I know she is likely to refer to it as MY MY MY MY MY, like it is a dayuuuum song. And who the heckypoo wants to hear that. So on this fellas, I say steer clear, very clear because moving into her home is likely to make a OK relationship turrible, just turrible. LOLOLOL

But what about a house that your boo once shared with a former love?

A house is not a small purchase so I understand that this may be necessary sometimes. In an ideal world, however, the home will sell and the two peeps can buy a home together, but errr uhhh, that is an ideal world and with the housing market being the way it is, ummmm let's just say it is not ideal.

But moving into a home shared with a former lover may cause a bit of problem for me. I'm just sayin...I mean really, it was her house and she likely picked it out. I definitely picked out my house with my ex.

I do think that it is something that I could get over, particularly if renovations are done. And yea, a new bed. LOLOLOLO

Sooooo, would you have a problem moving into a home that your new boo once shared with a former love?

Has Romance Become A Thing Of Past?

It's interesting how relationships play out these days. It seems the woman has become the dominating force in many relationships and men no longer have to be men.

They don't have to work. They don't have to be the head of the household. They just don't have to be.

Really, they just have to show up because there will be three to five, if not 10, willing women.

Any who.

I cannot say it enough. I am standing on the top of the tallest building saying, nah screaming, "I am a lady and I should be treated as such."

And before you go twisting your lips and turning your head, I do believe that men should be treated as men. Yea, my name is Darlene and I am a bit traditional.

OOOOOOK.

Romance seems to have become a thing of the past. Folks are just falling in bed, wham, bam, wham, bam and then sooooo long sucka, in the my Esther voice from "Sanford and Son."

Heck, it used to be that women who would give it up quickly or on the first night were considered EASY. Hmmmmmm.

Now, I think giving it up quickly is the standard. Flings, firstnighters, whatever you wanna call it.

I think in the olden days men worked for IT a little more, a little romance, a picnic, a candlelight dinner, flowers, all that good stuff that makes a woman really feel special.

Now, that type of stuff isn't heard of as much.

Sooooo what happened? Has romance died? Do men no longer have to work to bed a woman and therefore romance is unnecessary? And is romance a man's responsibility?

Do You Write Down Dates?

I tend to write down appointments and birthdays and things I want to make sure I remember. Actually, I don't write those dates down, I put them in my calendar on my phone.

I have not gotten to the point, however, that I have to write down dates. If someone asks me out I typically make a mental note of it.

I had a guy tell me that he put me in her planner on a particular date.

Hmmmmmmm?

I was a tad bit irritated, so I asked you really wrote that down in your planner? He responded, "Yes."

OOOOOOK. I understand if you are truly in demand and it was necessary to pencil me in but do you have to tell me!!!??

I shared this irritation with my bff and she said, "I write down stuff like that, too, D."

Hmmmmmm, OOOOOK.

I thought about it some more and came to the conclusion that some things are just better left unsaid.

If he did have to write it down, he didn't have to tell me. Period!

I was irritated, offended. I didn't feel special, and I didn't want to go on the date the more and more I thought about it.

Sooooo, would you be irritated if someone told you that they put a date with you in their planner? Do you write down your dates?

Limits In The Bedroom

I love to share conversations that I have with men in my blog soooooo here we go again.

I was talking to one of my guy friends recently and he said that once a man has had all the Pu$$# in the world with women who will do anything, it's hard to settle down with a woman who will say, "I don't do this. I don't do that."

Hmmmmm.

Essentially, he has given up on a lasting relationship because if he meets a woman who he really likes, she will have limits in the bedroom. If he finds a woman who he likes having diggity with, that's all he wants.

In fact, he said with this type of woman he does not even wanna go to breakfast the following morning with her or hang out with her occasionally. While talking, it seemed as though the thought of spending time with a woman he only wanted sex with repulsed him.

I was shocked for a minute but then I realized that being in that type of situation is a true quandary. So if he goes for the woman he likes having sex with he doesn't want to spend time with her and if he goes with the woman he likes spending time with he won't like having sex with her.

Just thinking about it made me exhausted.

I think, just for a second, you can't get everything you want. But then I back away from that thought because who wants to spend the rest of their life with a person who they don't enjoy sex with. Wow!

Then I tell him that I think just about every woman has an inner freak. It's just a matter of whether the prospective man can tap into that freak tank by saying the right words and making her feel real special.

He shoots back, "I am tooo old for that."

Clearly, he was disgusted and dismayed and has given up on finding someone he likes having sex with and actually like spending time with.

Is this problem prevalent? Do men and women find it difficult to find someone that they like having sex with and like spending time with? And during dating, should their be limits in the bedroom?

Don't Tell Me What You Think I Wanna Hear

I am a bit perturbed, angry, upset, unhappy, displeased, heck I have an upside down smile on my face when I think about how people can manipulate with words.

More than that, I believe many men go to some type of Say What You Think She Wanna Hear Workshop because it seems many are in the business of telling women what they think women want to hear.

Ummmmmm, when I think about it even more, I am perplexed. What is the purpose of telling women just any ole thing? Do women really fall for that gawbage?

I haven't been the smartest in this dating thing since getting my divorce. Yep, my name is Darlene and I haven't been the smartest but errrr uhhhh, you live, you learn. But I also haven't been the dumbest. I do recognize game and when I see it I sit on the sidelines for a while as a spectator. And then usually walk away disgusted at the performance.

Any who.

What I have discovered is that men will just jack their jacks and jibba jab soooooo much that they don't even know what they are talking about.

Boi, shut yo mouf, lyin, I have wanted to say sooooooooooooo many times.

Because I don't have children, I get guys who tell me, "You are gonna have my baby."

Aaaaaaaaaant, wrong answer. No, nope, no way! That dere young man is not what I wanna hear. LOLOLOL

Heck, I have even been told, "I love you." I mean fo real, fo real, one clown told me he loved me sooooo sooon into the dating that I really started to question his sanity.

I remember pullin back from him a bit startled and thinking, "Huh?"

I truly thought dude was on meds, psychotropic meds.

"Let's move in together."

Ummm, I do not play house.

"I am going to be your second husband."

Now, this one really makes me tighten up my shoe laces and run Forest, ruuuuuun. LOLOLOLOL

The kind of love I want has to manifest itself like little kids around adults -- seen and not heard. I am dead serious. :)

Anybody can jack their jaws but show me, show me, show me. Don't talk my dayuuuuum ears off! LOLOLOL

So why do you think men just say what they believe women wanna hear?

Off On Wrong Dating Foot

Call me a stickler, anal, particular, whateva, but you will not be able to call me a fool.

Recently, one of my gfs told me that a certain young man wanted to take me out for a fun date, to shoot some pool or play some basketball.

Ummmm, what the heckypoo -- I'll go, I told her.

After all, you never know.

Any who.

This dude goes back and forth with me about how he is going to give me a beatdown. I talk shiggidy, too. DJ serving up beatdowns and smackdowns, I retort. LOLOLOLOL

Then, he asks if a particular day would be good. I respond by saying sure that will work.

Lo and behold, he gets back and touch with me to tell me that he forgot about something that is going on that day and it no longer works. OOOOOOOK.

But right then, right there, right then, right there, I gave him a 24-hour window to reschedule and he didn't. Soooooooooooooo nope, nah, no I will not go on a date with you, period.

What the heck I look like, a pause button!???

Well, I am not. And there are some things that I have decided I just ain't gonna tolerate. And ummmmm, this is one.

No thanks on basketball, football, baseball, table ball, toe ball, floor ball or any kind of ball. LOLOLOLOL

Ummmm sit on a ball in the corner, because there will be no date with moi. LOLOLOLOLO

What is the lamest excuse that someone has used to get out of date? What is the lamest excuse you have used?

Sleeping With A Dog

When guys find out that I have a dog that I love, yep, I love my dog, I don't think they are sure how to take it or take me.

Carmen Electra, a chow-sheltie mix, has been there for me when no one else was available at late hours of the night or early hours of the morning to be a companion. :)

Plus, she has an ability to stop me from crying by distracting me. She'll put her snout on my leg or arm or flip over on her back to get my attention to stop the tears from flowing. Sooooo yes indeedy deed, I love her.

I think people underestimate the relationship between man and dog. It is a relationship filled with love, fo real UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

Any who.

I've been asked whether my dog sleeps in the bed with me? And no, Carm does not sleep in the bed with me. She has her own pillow bed that she climbs onto when it's beddy bye bye time. :)

But I wonder in the dating arena, do men look at me a little differently because I arrange my life around my dog. I have to walk her, feed her, let her out and this can put a damper on things sometimes.

And the other very funny thing about Carm is she is a voyeur. She likes to watch diggity LOLOLOL

Soooooo this could be a very uncomfy experience for a self-conscious guy who doesn't want to be watched by a dog. LOLOLOLOL But it never fails, if there is any action, Carm is watching. :)

I wonder, after it is revealed that I have a dog and no children, do guys consider it a plus or minus. Do they ponder, "Is she one of those crazy dog people?" or "Does she sleep with her dog?" or "Does she let her dog kiss her dog in the mouth?"

It is not something that overly consumes any brain power, but I do wonder about it from time to time.

But errr uhhh, would you date a person who lets their cat or dog sleep in the bed?
