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.

The Punisher: Relationship Prejudice

When started dating after separation, I did it in phases. The first phase was catch up. I wanted to catch up with every man I had a spark with to explore where it would have went had I not gotten married. Once I realized that these "what if's" were really "don't bother's" I moved on to try to find "the one." After several failed attempts and false starts with "the one" I began making rules. I didn't always know what I liked but I was certain after several failed relationships of what I didnt. However, now that I look back, I realize that plenty of the red flags that made me run were almost always a shared similarity with my ex. If a man said he was interested in anything my ex was interested in, I began to feel uneasy and delve deeper for more "flags". I'll even admit that if a man were from the same country or continent as my ex, I would get turned off. I now know that I was suffering from PTRD (Post Traumatic Re...

The Real Thing *Relationships/Dating*

I love Marvin Gaye. I love how he croons along with Tammi Terrell about having the "Real Thing". If you have followed my blog over the years, you have seen me get separated, divorced, and hit the dating scene. Its been a long road. There was a time that I was dating just to get my feet wet. I just wanted to get into the habit of conversing and entertaining men in a way that I hadn't due to the confines of marriage. I just wanted to be single again. Eventually I came to want more. I wanted to have something...real. I am not a traditional woman. If I didn't have children I would likely never be married and I would be totally fine with living in a separate home from my significant other and connecting when we wanted to connect and maintaining space all other times. However, I have children...and my lifestyle preferences are not a priority. I am more interested in setting an example and foundation for my girls. So here I am, dating with a purpose. I have been on POF,...

The Secret Society Of Trump Supporters

I've heard at least a dozen people proclaim their disgust with the success of Donald Trumps Presidential campaign. I'm lying, it's been everywhere. On social media, articles, and conversation you hear plenty people express their disdain at the mere thought of Trump assuming office. Then there are the supporters. There are the people who openly express their support of Trump winning the White House. As time goes on, Trump's position is yet more secured and his supporters are also more secure in showing just how much they love him. It seems now that victory is within their grasp, they can more openly say : I helped make this happen. Those are the cowards. They won't openly defend their candidate but they quietly follow and support him. Those are the people who will say: "well there are some people who support Trump because he says what others won't say." Those people, are talking about themselves. They are far too timid to say what Trump says and he ha...
