Man why you gotta be putting my business out in the street like that!!!! Have not been in a relationship since Arron and Teddy Riley sang together, I am finding I am so pickey I stopped picking, my standards got so low I went on a date with a man who had one eye, one tooth in his mouth and that one tooth was green.

I am guilty of #2 an #3. As far as #2, I have learned to take things lightly and to take notes just in case the issue comes up in the future. I just have friends that I am learning and try not to assume too much. Also #3, I think that the ideal mate that is perfect for me is available and I will be patient. I have been known to stop talking to a guy for snoring and etc. Hope not being too petty. I mean we all have deal breakers, but I think that the mate that I need, not want is still available.

I’m guilty of knowing what I want and realizing that NOT many men possess the complex dynamics that make me say WOW. I can give room for imperfections if the things I deem most important are satisified. I recognize that the numbers may reflect that there is a shortage of men. However, in my mind… in my world there are not shortages of what is meant for me. I do understand everyone is not meant to have everything! I also think that thinking you are one of those people is a state of mind.

So, I could get married tomorrow and it might last a life time or simply a night. But it is a rare combination of many complexities that seduce me.

The phone rings and the bbm chirps… I just don’t really date. Perhaps I’m an eternal tease:)

There have been men who show interest and my friends think I’m insane for saying, oh well. ONE DAY.

Patience is a virtue.

Anything worth having is worth working for and waiting for.

I suppose If I have to pick one… I’m picky (i feel that im a great catch and I should be)… I’m focused on more than trying to secure a man (I just don’t think it should take much effort) and I’m lazy (It maybe a recession but I would rather eat alone in peace and pay for it than be annoyed with getting fixed up to meet someone who MIGHT get on my nerves and ruin my meal)

I have a better word for my issue hahaha.

ps: love the site but it needs spell check:)

Ms. Bliss

…ummm yeah, I didn’t start my “spiritual journey” from an honorable position (nothing to brag about) either. I’m no judge, I know better than that – but I’m not stupid either.

Peace.

The Raven…2 me u seem a lil too quick 2 judge. okay he had a case a lot of pastors & “godly men” have horrible backgrounds. Not every1 starts their spiritual journey from honorable positions. People called famous teacher Jesus a criminal. Not saying u should marry him but always keep an open mind & heart 2 your fellow human being.

Guilty…all three.

#1 There’s a gentleman at the church I attend. By The World’s Standard of Beauty & Attractiveness…he is not. I think he has some godly characteristics though. I’ve pictured us married…errrr.

# 2 I gave a guy a compliment at church. I told him I admired the way he praised the Lord. It was true, I did….until I googled him (I SURE DID) and discovered he is an ex-police officer with an AGGRAVATED ROBBERY CHARGE. Before knowledge of this, I’d unintentionally noticed him many Wednesdays and Sundays at church. He is thuggish-looking (not my type at all)…actually kind of a 2Pac, Terrell Owens -look a like depending on the angle/view. After telling him how much I admired how he loved the Lord, I later wondered if that were too much information. I can’t make eye contact with him anymore…I just can’t. LOL.

#3 I’m a little picky because I’m marriage-minded. I can’t afford to settle and I’m not made to be anybody’s Baby Mama…Ain’t NO shackin up, up in here. I just can’t. LOL

Love your site – interesting blogs, stories etc.
Peace
