I was listening to a popular radio show the other day and the idea following the popular movie “Hall Pass” came into discussion. Men and women were being polled to determine if they would give their significant other a “pass” to step out of the relationship, share an evening (sexual experience) with someone ELSE and then fall back in line. The very idea is absolutely ludicrous to me, as it

Times are tough, but dating in a down economy can been even tougher. Although money is tight these days, if a man  manages to plan a creative, fun, and cheap date…I’m good. And as a matter of fact, I prefer it! Dinner and a movie is not only costly, but it can be a bit boring and predictable. So, fellas…why not trying something new?

After the news of Seal and Heidi Klum’s break up made news, many wondered what went wrong. By all accounts the couple seemed totally in love with each other, and many seemed to take the split personally, wondering, if Seal and Heidi couldn’t make it, maybe it couldn’t be done. Seal added to the confusion by continuing to wear his wedding ring during interviews and speaking lovingly about his soon-to-be ex-wife. Recently,

2012 just began and this year, I’m aiming to try some new things. While I dipped my toe into the online dating world last year, I figured I’d give it another shot this year. While I don’t think I’ll meet my future husband, at the very least I’ll expand my social circle, hopefully have some fun, and have some interesting stories to write about (I DO need to start on

A group of friends and I went out a few weeks ago at an event and had the opportunity to meet a local artist.  Now, ladies, when I tell you that this man was FOINE, please understand that I am in no way, shape or form exaggerating the claim.  He was tall, polite, beautiful smile, had strong, yet soft hands and insisted on hugging each of us to thank us

A few months ago I met a guy via the social networks that turned out to be quite interesting. On paper he’s a magnificent catch. He’s degreed twice over, has a professional job, is a certified cutie (taller than me), is on his way to law school, and yes…he’s black. While many sisters would be licking their chops and busting out their best tricks to “catch” him, I’m wondering if

    You would have had to be living under a rock, or not born, to have missed out on the 1992 classic, Boomerang, starring Eddie Murphy with the likes of Martin Lawrence, David Alan Grier, Robin Givens, Eartha Kitt, John Witherspoon, Grace Jones and (then) lesser knowns Chris Rock and Halle Berry. But just in case you missed it, or even if you have seen the movie a million

Ask any 10 millennial black women to list their favorite movies, and I’d bet at lest half of them will mention Love Jones, the 1997 film about two lovers in Chicago who were deeply drawn to each other despite trying very, very hard to keep things light. If you’re one of the few sad souls who’s never seen the film (where the hell you been?) it stars Larenz Tate and

Tomorrow we’ll return to our regularly scheduled dialogue about love, sex, and relationships…but today, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King’s birthday I thought we’d take a little time to honor the man who fought for so many of our dreams. While we, young black and brown folks, could not even be HERE without Dr. King’s sacrifices, at times we lose sight of that fact. We get caught up in

    Ashamedly I must admit to half-ass watching Love That Girl this evening. I was in a deep, medicine induced, migraine fighting haze and then I woke up to an interesting scenario playing out on the screen. Tatyana Ali’s character was on a date (I assume it was a blind date) with Omar Gooding. Long story short, he was a bamma. Her best friend, who was watching her from another
