How exciting! I'm inspired by your ability to just go after what you want in life. I'm not into dating, but I'll certainly tune in to your updates. Don't forget about us single chicks when you get bunned up! :o)

You are funny girl! I either get hit on by 'Under 30s' or 'Over 40s' and few the same age or older than my mom. Yeah...ew. I am a little older than you but I still want to have fun on a date...if the man keeps himself up after 40+ that's different. I look forward to reading more about your adventures in finding mr. right for you!

I absolutely believe in love and have been blessed to still love my high school lover. However, I have seen some of my single girlfriends want to give up. There are good men out there!

Re: My Extreme Online Dating Experiment: #Projectboyfriend Starts Now

Happy Black Woman — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:51:39 -0000

Aww, does that mean you don't believe in love anymore? I actually don't think anything ever happened to love...I think we can find it wherever we look for it. To me, love is a choice, just like happiness.

Re: My Extreme Online Dating Experiment: #Projectboyfriend Starts Now

Chasing Soul — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:24:04 -0000

I applaud you for still believing in love and going out to find it. You go girl!

I've just stumbled onto this blog and I must admit, the content is refreshing. I dated some since my divorce and have been shocked by what I encountered. It seems that the media has given men of all races the notion that we sisters are so lonely that we will settle for anthing. How dare we have standards and demand respect. The negativity towards us drives us to be content within ourselves. If I find Mr. Right wonderful, but I'll be damned if I settle for anything.

Good post. Mine are Little Jackie's "The World Should Revolve Around Me" (http://is.gd/eyUdn), MIA's "Paper Planes," and Chumbawamba's "Tubthumping."

I love the old wise saying, "beauty fades but dumb is forever." This saying really puts relationships in perspective. At the end of the day, you want man that compliments you. Does your job, money, or car defines who you are?

"I’m not necessarily looking for a man that already has it all together – a steady job, a car, his own place, a five year plan – all those arbitrary things that men think women care about. What I’m looking for is a meaningful connection with a Mr. Right for me. And that’s actually much, much harder to come by."

I agree with this so much. Like who gives a crap if your ducks aren't completely in a row?! There's ALWAYS going to be something that's not quite right in our lives that we would like to be better so why waste the energy focusing on that... why don't we focus and put energy into the people who going to be there to love and support us through it all?

I think it is an ongoing struggle for women that we really need to address. I feel like I win the most at life when I get out of my own way!

Re: Why I Don’t Want to Be the Total Package

Happy Black Woman — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:56:15 -0000

Yeah, I've decided that my own personal growth is more important than keeping the peace to stay in any relationship. I think if a person really loves you they won't want you to remain stagnant anyway. And I totally agree with this: "The guy I'm going to stick with is the one who wants to uncover all my most interesting, unpredictable layers and is geared towards evolution!"
