The Ultimate Love Tips
It’s very rare that the most amazing moments of your relationship are when the two of you are apart from one another. 5 Texts Men Wish Women Should Stop Sending And 5 They Want Instead Think back to all of the best and most amazing moments that you have shared with bae. It’s likely that the memories you will come up with are made up of the two of you being in each other’s presence. However, that doesn’t mean that just because the two of you can’t be in the same physical space, you shouldn’t be making an effort with him anymore. In fact, it’s the total opposite. When the two of you are apart, you still have an opportunity to be all kind and sweet towards your man. It’s all just a matter of you showing a certain willingness and a vulnerability whenever you text with him. Texting is something that a lot of women tend to overlook in a relationship. But it really is a very powerful tool in being able to bring the two of you closer together. You just might not know it yet.

Putting myself out there
Okay so first off, everyone should go listen to this song by a friend of mine named Famez. He’s an amazing artist and an amazing person and he’s going to do amazing things with the future ahead of him. With that being said... I would like to ask a question. Feel free to answer at your leisure. My question is..is it wrong or weird to want to love/ fall in love with someone that you know you can’t touch or be with? I ask this because I have done this twice before. I fell in love with my best friend, we’ll call him ‘Jacob’, after four years of complete internet and phone conversations. He and I had mad a pact to get married and have a kid if we didn’t find partners but life gave us lemons and we made our own types of lemonade. I realized I had actually fell for Jacob when I had let a week go by and I didn’t talk to him and it made me sick. When I did talk to him he made me feel so good inside and so happy and warm. So after beating myself up about “going for it” I told him how I felt about him. I was of course a tad bit tipsy but he couldn’t tell the difference. At first he laughed it off and was like “no way.” then I told him yeah way. I started to get upset and cry because he didn’t take me seriously so I said whatever and we argued and stopped talking completely. To this day I’ve spoken to him once. It was a brief conversation about meeting up and catching up on life. The day he came to town I moved 11 hours away. He was the first love that felt real and pleasant. Do I miss it? Heck yes! I miss it so much that I’m finding myself doing the same thing again with someone else but this time I am considering going to see him. I couldn’t see him because of COVID before but now I can travel and I’m thinking of just taking a trip to Florida and meeting up with him. Have I asked him or mentioned it to him? Ha! No. Is that a little sus? Definitely! Especially since we don’t really know each and we aren’t even in the same “reality” if you get my drift. I just want to be a friend of his so that we can share stories and cook food together while singing to each other. Why is my brain so complicated?

Cinderella and the Cruise
My mother and I referred to him, my partner Ethan, as "disco Danny" because he always wore the traditional disco clothes and thought he was John Travolta. He was very full of himself, and when we would go out dancing together his favorite thing to do was find a pretty girl in the crowd and then inform me he should be with her. I wasn't allowed to drive, take the bus, work, and when I went to the store I had to give him the receipt and change and it better all be there.

MR. NEW ORLEANS (part 1)
Ok SO... This story is called... MR. NEW ORLEANS I was in the process of divorcing my third husband, when I decided to try online dating. Dating locally had proven to be devastating due to me having several family members, by blood and marriage, or a family member or friend who had already hooked up with the men I was encountering. So venturing outside my home town/state seemed logical and safer. I decided to put a profile on one of the sites. At first, it was kind of exciting with all of the attention from these “incredibly handsome and very financially stable” men, but after a while it seemed rather pointless and many of these guys were shallow as hell, super control freaks, under cover women haters, Married, or just looking to waste time in between break ups with their on again off again girlfriend. Just when I was ready to delete my profile a message came through from a Godly beautiful specimen of a Man from New Orleans, that said “I really liked what I seen and read and I’d like to get to know you better”! Baaaaaby, this man looked so good I thought he was fake! And his approach wasn’t lame like most of the men who were trying to “get to know” me. I immediately responded and soon after we exchanged numbers. The first night I told him to call so I could hear his voice and when he did....that New Orleans accent (what I choose to call it) made me melt! I was in heaven!!! So we communicated for several days, that turned into weeks, then he finally asked to see me in person. I was so excited, but I’d never been to New Orleans. He told me he would come up to see me...for New Years! Well that was out of the question because I don’t bring strange men around my kids. He made it clear that we could meet somewhere else. Just so happened that Katt Williams and Mike Epps were going to be in St. Louis, so that’s where we met on December 31st, 2017! He flew in and we met at the Hyatt Regency where he had a Jr. Suite for us. We got freshened up and rode in his rented Dodge Challenger to the show. He apparently had family in St. Louis, who also had tickets because there were 3 dudes with Dodge Challengers following us into the paid parking lot. It made me a little nervous at first, but then they all spoke to him (his cousins) and me, then we all walked into the Center together and sat together as well. This man did some Planning You Hear Me!!! The show was absolutely Amazing!!! Afterwards, it was almost like a mini car show with these guys, we went to eat and then Me and Mr. New Orleans went back to the Hyatt Regency and did some Grown People things into the New Year 2018!!!

Modern Day Relationships
Relationships are so difficult nowadays. The idea of being with someone forever has gone out the window. Nobody wants forever anymore. It's all about temporary feelings and the satisfaction of right now. We all grew up watching our grandparents celebrate 25+ years of being married and we treasured that. At one point we all wanted to grow up and find "the one" but somewhere down the road we lost sight of that. Nobody plans their futures out anymore, we all just live in the now. Back in the day people use to have 5 year plans and 10 year plans but now everyone just lives day to day not worried about the future.

Dating as an Introvert
The definition of an introvert is vaguely put as being shy, but there's so much more to it. It has a lot to do with being overwhelmed by people and social settings. Anxiety kicks in and you just become so very uncomfortable when surrounded by people. It drives you inside and makes you come off as an awkward individual, but luckily you're not alone, there are so many other introverts out there in this world, finding them can be easy but dating them can be tricky.
