Football: Love it or Leave him

This is not Derwin, Malik or Jason. And it isn't those pitiful women who aren't actually football wives either. This is real football young ladies and you better learn to love it or live with it if your man is a fan.

So, if you have plans to stick around here are some suggestions: 1. Learn the game...it isn't rocket science. 1a. I'd recommend learning on your own and asking questions to men you aren't interested in 2. Plan to take a nap or have regularly scheduled "me-time" while the games are on 3. Don't make a man choose between you and his football 3. Don't expect him to stop watching or watch less once you become official 4. Grab a glass of wine and a book and do you, but do it on the couch with him 5. Unless you are on the verge of death or child birth - don't expect much out of him until the game is over

There is one more game tonight and then it's the SuperBowl - you know, the Sunday that he may actually invite you to a football watching party. Good luck!

Packers vs Steelers...let's get it!

Courting in 2010, part 1

Boy and girl meet. Boy and girl go on first date. All goes well. Boy and girl talk on phone. Boy and girl go on multiple dates. Girl probably thinks they are dating. Boy thinks nothing.

Forget age, race, or even gender…what clarifies each stage of courtship? Dating, Talking, Relationship. No one knows apparently.

As a single woman, it has become quite apparent that everyone has a different definition of dating. So I’ve set out on this journey to inform others that we are all sending/getting mixed signals because we are all reading a different version of Webster.

I’ve been asking around and here are some responses I’ve gotten:

“Talking and dating are same thing. Talking to several people. Neither establishes a commitment. Just like a pre approval” –male

“After a guy and girl go on a few dates that is dating, but girls often assume that means exclusive dating.” – female

“Talking is more serious than dating” – male

“We aren’t dating unless I’m getting it in” – male

“Men don’t date unless they are having sex” – male

“Talking seems to be more serious than dating, dating is more casual” - female

"Hookups are the difference between talking and dating" -female

"Dating is non exclusive - getting to know each other stage. You can date with or without sex being a factor" - female

DC Excuses

I'm suppose to overlook a grown man not having a car just because he lives in the DMV (DC-Maryland-Virginia) area. Well, brothas and Peters, if that is the case then here are my DC excuses:


I don't have to have pretty feet because I do so much damn walking in DC

I don't have to have long straight silky hair every day because it's too hott and humid for all that

I don't have to carry the cute, dainty little clutches because I need to take my life with me on the metro. So, yes I'm carrying a damn suitcase. You never know how long you will be waiting underground.

I don't have to be domesticated because there is a restaurant for you to take me to every night of the year

Anything I missed ladies???
