Gimme 5......More.....

This is Part II of yesterday's blog:
 
This is for the single ladies & gents - gimme 5 reasons why you would like to be in serious relationship.
 
Here are my 5:  
  1. The dating scene (at least in my town) is getting very old & quickly.
  2. I'm tired of spending my precious time "training" them & in the end, it's all in vain.
  3. I love to travel & as much as I love my road dawgs, I wants (yes wants!) me a man to travel the world with.
  4. I've had my fun (probably more than my share, shhh.....) & I'm ready to get serious & share my life with someone special.
  5. Last but not least, I want someone who can fix shit and who will get up to see what went "bump" in the night!  Y'all know I'm a scaredy cat! 

Your turn!

  2. 1. The dating scene is quite scandalous (though so are some of these co-called "relationships")
    2. I like consistency, a little tired of going through the whole "getting to know you" bit repeatedly
    3. Your #3,
    4. Feels nice to snuggle with someone regularly
    5. I'm ready

  4. 1. Cause I know i'm ready and have been longing to share all the love I have with them to them.
    2. Dating stinks or even talking to prospects who end up being rejects stinks too.
    3. I want to cook again too...loved cooking for my man.
    4. I'm ready to have a family, you know children.
    5. I want to do the things that lovers do (sex, kissing, petting, vacations, romantic get-aways, family reunions, dates, did I mention sex?).

    ReplyDelete
  5. Exactly!!! And I have wayyy too much love to give to waste it on these dating prospects or aka "maybe-baby's" as I call them

  8. Imma break it down like this. I enjoy my single life but it doesn't mean I am opposed to being married....TO THE RIGHT WOMAN. That being said, if its cool, then I'm cool.

    I don't know about marriage being the answer to your celibacy.....I've known many a couple where THE MAGIC wasn't happening and one of the two was highly frustrated and cheating.

    I think marriage can be a beautiful thing between two people willing to make it work and willing to put the other first at least HALF of the time.

  9. Well, this set of questioning yesterday and today is putting me in quite a predicament..

    Well, I like relationships because:
    1) I like being with one person and having that familiarity, instead of having to learn someone new...
    2) Hopefully it'll lead to marriage, and I think Im still waiting for that before I have babies of my own... Aint looking to bright right now... But I love the idea of my kid or kids having a traditional family structure..
    3) You tend to always have someone to cuddle with and other thangs.. Kinda have to take it as it comes when you're single... But as that goes, I can withstand a period of time without... uugghh @ the thought.
    4) lol... Someone to cook for ME... Im not a great cook at all... lol
    5) And truthfully Im a one person kinda gal... And Im not really good at this meeting and dating thing.. Well, Im gone try my hand at it again and see what happens..

    Big Mo... you making me think to dang on hard these days... lol

  26. Chile look, TG would even iron my clothes everyday. I HATE IRONING! I threatened to leave the house once in out-of-the-dryer jeans and homie flipped! You know how black men are about their jeans. I didn't iron for 5 years.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Some might even call that real love...lol I gotta wonder if me and The Dude are actually black... Cuz neither of us iron clothes... lol We never really go out the house super wrinkled, but we take the clothes out the dryer and just fold them or hang em up... Anyway, but i know what you mean...

    Im kinda at that crossroads right now, where Im trying to decide if I wanna stay in a not so bad relationship thats lingered on forever but doesnt seem to be progressing the way i want or need it to... And then the other option is, to cut off the ties and wait or seek something or someone new... Thats like the hardest thing to decide, because Im not really sure if Im giving up something thats not so bad only to be let down when I dont find what I need... Or if Im just over analyzing this and not being content with what have... But also wondering if I stay will I be missing out on something so much better...

    Most folks say follow your heart and do whats best for you... I understand that, cuz i used to say that to other people... But its hard as hell... It would be so much easier if he were a manipulator, liar, abusive or some shit like that... But he's not... Some say why am I complaining, cuz so many ppl are by themselves right now... But if you have hopes, desires and a certain way you think things otta go, should you continue to have only what someone else wants to give you and be still... Or forget all that and go after what you want... But what if you're let down... what if you dont find what you're looking for and you find yourself in a bad state because you let go of someone that wasnt so bad....

    This is where I get stuck...

  28. Red... I feel your pain, sis...

    but I gotta say this... to continue to do what you've always done and expect DIFFERENT results is insanity...

    I left my 3yr old's dad... he wasnt a manipulator, an abuser, or any crazy thing... I just wasnt getting the love I wanted and needed... we had been together for a about 5yrs off and on... never lived together... but he was stable... and I knew he loved me... in his way... just wasnt enough...I felt like he was apathetic to my needs... and when that apathy went spilled over into the relationship with his son... I was done... I walked when my baby was a few months old...and dude remained apathetic...
    I worked on getting my heart and emotions freed from that situation... and once I felt good about my choice... here comes my sweetie ... its been 8 mths... but its the love I wanted from babydaddy... caring... consistant... compassionate... I'm glad I let go... because now I have something BETTER to hold on to.
    Just my twenny dollas on the subject...
    (I know... I never answered the actual blog question... *sigh* LOL)

  29. Thats kind of where we are... He's a really good guy... But I think I got stuck on that "good guy" thing.. thinking that he was the only good person that i would luck up on and have been scared to venture outside of him for a long time... More than anything I think I really better start praying harder on this... Cuz I am so confused right now... I think situations like this are so much easier if the other party were a severe asshole, but thats not the case...

    I just dont know...

    and I appreciate your twenty dollas..
