LOVE LESSON #2 WATCH AND LEARN

He loves me. At least, thats what he said. He loves me more and more each and every day. But he was still seeing other women, and he was still caught up with his ex-girlfriend, and he was comfortable with our complicated relationship that held a clumsy banner over it labeled "friends".
He said that he wanted to be friends and "who knows" what God had in store for us. He was open minded. I listened. I even agreed initially. But then he wanted to know why I didn't call him back, or why I seemed distant. He could sense even the slightest distance and yet he couldn't seem to figure out that his careless handling of my feelings were making an already complex relationship damned near incomprehensible.
"I love you." "I love you more and more each day" "I miss you" " I want to cuddle with you"
In the same breath it could be " I went on a date" or "I was with my ex"
It all was so confusing, until I realized it didn't have to be.
During one of our chats he remarked that women often reject cuddling after sex because they believe that a casual sexual relationship shouldn't involve cuddling.
I shared my thought that cuddling is an intimate gesture and if a relationship is strictly sexual, intimacy need not be incorporated.
He then expressed that cuddling is all a part of the experience for him.
So I had to question what the difference was between sex with his woman and any casual acquaintance since there were no restrictions or exceptions.
His reply: The difference is, she is my girl. That's it.
Well said. Because, I wasn't.
Save your cuddles for her and whomever needs them. I will save mine for my man. He was not Him.

 Love Lesson #2: We already know that when a man wants you, he says it but what about the dishonest or confused man?? Well that brings us to lesson #2. Listen to what a man says but pay close attention to what he does. Words and actions should correspond. Aim for the man who has conviction, not contradiction.


Absolutely not! God must be true, even if every human being is a liar, as it is written:
So that it can show that you are right in your words;
    and you will triumph when you are judged.

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...

Admit It, You're Bitter!

For most, dating isn't easy (see " Dating Game (s) post). Can I be honest? I have no idea on where to begin! With each failed relationship, after sulking and licking your wounds one would hope that they have at least learned something from the experience. As much as we invest in these relationships, even after their demise we should hope to take something away from it. Whether that means that you no longer have tolerance for someone who doesn't make you happy, or finally realizing someone who only changes their underwear on special occasions may not be the right person for you... the bottom line is that you have standards. For me, standards were truly created and defined after navigating the terrain of turbulent relationships. Its not that I hadn't a clue of what I wanted in a partner, its just that a few go-rounds with the wrong person will let you know what you DON'T want in a partner. Negative experiences will often leave me far less receptive ...

The First Time: Act Like You Know

" You know I care about you", he whined. He always seemed to whine when he was trying to persuade her. His brown eyes were wild and pleading. She didn't want to. She couldn't put a finger on why she didn't or when she would, but she just didn't. He still kept at it. What was a conversation became a debate. Every sentence said was in the form of an argument. He was stating his case. Why was he so passionate? "I'm not going to go anywhere. You know that." His frustration became apparent. He was annoyed with her for being so indecisive. He was impatient. He didn't want an answer, he wanted "the answer". She began to feel nervous. He did care for her, she knew that ... he isn't going anywhere... she knew that . Why was it so hard to give in? He finally relented with a few cuss words and turned his back to her. She felt like she upset him. Her nurturing instinct told her to make him feel better. She touched his shoulder, be...
