<p><strong>**</strong>Note: This letter is lengthy.<br />
<strong>_____________________</strong><br />
<strong><br />
Dear Fly Guy,</p>
<p>I met a really nice guy a few months ago through a reputable dating site, and we have been emailing and conversing ever since. He works 11:30am to 8pm Mon-Fri so I call the company that he works for, and they call him to the phone. He also calls me several times throughout the day. But as soon as 8pm comes I don’t hear from him or even get a text for the rest of the night. It’s as if he literally is a ghost and disappears; it’s the same for the weekend. I talk to him all throughout the day Friday, but when 8pm hits, I don’t get a call or a text or anything from him until Monday at 11:30am sharp as soon as he gets to his job … this is like clockwork. </p>
<p>Now I can understand during the week maybe not speaking to me after he gets off, because we talk throughout most of the day. But on the weekends, he claims he just likes to do his own thing such as catch up on sleep, play video games, or hang out with his best friend. </p>
<p>I have never been to his house. He lives in NY, and says he rents a room in this house that another family lives in. I tried to send him a package one time, but he said since the family is not supposed to be renting out the space, he can’t receive mail there.  He then told me to send it to his grandmother’s house. One time, he told me he was going to dinner with his sister and grandmother, but I found out that he went and met up with a girl to go see a movie. </p>
<p>The last straw was recently when he told me he was going to spend a weeklong vacation with his older sister. The first thing he said to me was he was leaving on the 10th and won’t be able to call me, because he doesn’t get good cell phone service up that far up in NY. I mean are you kidding me? His sister doesn’t have a landline that he could call me from?! So I did not hear from him the entire 7 days, and that really pissed me off. I understand he wanted to spend time on his vacation with his family, but we’re supposed to be dating or getting to know each other. He didn’t have the common courtesy to call me once. Fly Guy really??? </p>
<p>No matter how tired you are on the weekends, if that is your time off, and you really like a girl, you would call her and make plans, right? I told him he treats me like a job—like he only wants to talk to me during business hours. I really have no idea what he did during the week of his vacation, but he did inform me he wouldn’t have good cell service a couple of days, and that is exactly what happened. As I’m typing this it sounds like he’s full of BS, but when I confront him on these things, he always has an answer for everything.  We live in different cities, and haven’t met in person yet, so I can understand if he’s seeing other women. </p>
<p>Maybe he has been truthful up to this point, because if he lived with a girl he would have to know that I would eventually want to come to his house. So I’m thinking he is just dating other girls … but why be so blatant and sloppy with it? I mean does it appear that I have stupid across my forehead? I just want to figure out if he’s really been lying about his personal life … I only know where he works. </p>
<p>Maybe I should ask him for his home address, and suggest visiting him there just to see if he gives it to me? If not, then I’ll know he lives with a woman. I planned on meeting him face to face soon, but he’s just been acting funny. As a man, what do you think is really going on? Am I wasting my time? Should I even be mad, because I am not his girlfriend? At this point it just feels like he’s playing games with me.</p>
<p>Ms. S</strong></p>
<p>Dear Ms. S,</p>
<p>Your letter was pretty long, so I’ll keep my answer simple and to the point … <strong>this guy is married.</strong> Period. And the family that he’s renting a room from is his real family. That’s all I have to say on this one. I trust that you know what your next move should be.</p>

<p>Loneliness&#8230;</p>
<p>It’s an emotion that’s never really welcomed, but sometimes needed. Moments in life arise where it’s actually healthy to experience the emptiness of having no one in your life.  In those painfully uncomfortable moments, you’re granted the solitude to reconnect with faith, reconnect with life, and reconnect with your unique understanding of who you are and what you want. Embrace that clarity … and embrace all that you can learn from the loneliness. </p>
<p>Right now, do me a favor and close your eyes. Take in this moment, and forever remember it. And when that special someone comes along, appreciate them for who they are, and for where you’ve just come from. </p>
<p>In honor of this moment, I thought I’d take it back to a song that poignantly expresses where some of you may be right now. It’s a personal favorite of mine … Troop’s “Spread my Wings.” Enjoy.</p>

<p><strong>Fly Lyrics</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve imagined faces of many lovers<br />
To ease the pain of having no one in my life<br />
And I&#8217;m tired of being undercover<br />
It&#8217;s time to navigate my feelings tonight</p>
<p>The sky is calm, the stars are bright<br />
What&#8217;s better than to be in flight<br />
I&#8217;ll relax my mind and be at ease.<br />
And let this journey set me free</p>
<p>Spread my wings and fly away<br />
To a place that I long for.<br />
And my heart will be the pathway<br />
I&#8217;m searching for a love that&#8217;s ever more</p>
<p><strong>2nd Verse</strong><br />
I often wondered how I managed<br />
Always searching but not finding a true heart<br />
What does it take to find me a lover<br />
I&#8217;m hoping that I don&#8217;t have to fly too far.</p>
<p>The sky is calm, the stars are bright<br />
What&#8217;s better than to be in flight<br />
I&#8217;ll relax my mind and be at ease.<br />
And let this journey set me free</p>
<p>Spread My Wings</p>

<p>So Tiger Woods finally made a public appearance to give the world the apology they’ve so desperately been waiting for. In the aftermath, while commentators analyzed the sincerity of his words, I could only sit back and laugh. Why you may ask? Well, that wasn’t the real apology—at least not the one that Tiger was initially prepared to give.  You see, last night Tiger called me to practice his speech, and the words that came out of his mouth would have forever damaged his career… I just couldn’t let that happen to my boy.</p>
<p>So after a long night of revisions, and endless amounts of coffee, we finally got it right. Listen; the public can never know what Tiger really wanted to say. But since you’re like family, and I know you won’t tell anyone, I figured I’d give you a bit of insider information.  Here’s what Tiger really wanted to say&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>_____________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>Tiger Quote #1</strong> “Many of you in the room are my friends. Many of you in this room know me. Many of you have cheered for me, or worked with me, or supported me, and now, every one of you has good reason to be critical of me.”</p>
<p><strong>What Tiger Really Said: </strong>“A lot of you in this room have made money off of me. But ever since the sh*t hit the fan, you turned your back on me. That’s cool though. I’m not tripping … but I am taking names. And when I’m back on top, I better not see any of you at the house when it’s time to barbecue. All of you traitors can kiss my Caublasian ass with your tongue out.”</p>
<p><strong>_____________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>Tiger Quote #2</strong>“Elin and I have started the process of discussing the damage caused by my behavior. As she pointed out to me, my real apology to her will not come in the form of words.”</p>
<p><strong>What Tiger Really Said:</strong> “Elin has been cursing my ass out, and making me buy her a lot of expensive sh*t, so I really need you guys to forgive me so I can get back to playing golf. When Kobe messed up, he still got to play and collect checks. Do you really think he was flying back from the courtroom to play just because he loves the game? Hell no, he was trying to pay for all of those bills that Vanessa was running up.  So cut me some slack … my chick is sucking me dry.</p>
<p><strong>_____________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>Tiger Quote #3</strong> “Thirteen years ago, my dad and I envisioned helping young people achieve their dreams through education. This work remains unchanged and will continue to grow. From the Learning Center students in Southern California, to the Earl Woods Scholars in Washington, D.C., millions of kids have changed their lives, and I am dedicated to making sure that continues.”</p>
<p><strong>What Tiger Really Said:</strong> “Keep f*cking with me, and these <del datetime="2010-02-19T22:05:45+00:00">niggers</del> black kids are gonna lose their scholarships … I’m not playing.”</p>
<p><strong>_____________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>Tiger Quote #4</strong> “I knew my actions were wrong. But I convinced myself that normal rules didn&#8217;t apply. I never thought about who I was hurting. Instead, I thought only about myself. I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple should live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to. I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn&#8217;t have far &#8212; didn&#8217;t have to go far to find them.”</p>
<p><strong>What Tiger Really Said: </strong>“You have no idea what it’s like to be young and rich. And I’m not talking about Diddy/Jay-Z rich, because I’d probably kill myself if my bank account ever dropped that low. I’m talking about being the most wealthy athlete of all time … did you hear me, of all time!!!  When you have that kind of pull, the bitches are just there for the taking. And when I say bitch, I mean it in a respectful way, except when I’m referring to the bitches that told on me. The bottom line is that the power went to my head, and I got caught. Period.”</p>
<p><strong>_____________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>Tiger Quote #5</strong> “Today, I want to ask for your help. I ask you to find room in your hearts to one day believe in me again. Thank you.”</p>
<p><strong>What Tiger Really Said:</strong> “Alright now, I’m about to walk off this podium. And when I do, I don’t want to hear about this sh*t anymore. Don’t come to my house, don’t mess with my wife and my kids, and don’t follow my mom. If you do, then my black side is gonna have to come out. Trust me, you don’t want to see me when I’m Earl Woods Jr. I’m out this bioyitch!!!”</p>
<p><strong>_____________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Fly Conclusion:</strong> So that was a glimpse of Tiger’s real speech. Love him or hate him, the brother was prepared to come real today … I just couldn’t let that happen.</p>

<p>The following is a piece of much-needed ammunition for the fellas. Tired of getting sucked into tough conversations with your significant other? Well no worries, as we’ve enlisted a female spy to provide tips on how to spot and avoid those serious conversations. Take note, and make sure you pass it on to your fellow man.</p>
<p>As for you ladies, feel free to comment at the conclusion of the article. If it’s totally off base, then make it known. But in the event that it’s spot on, then acknowledge that we’re on to you.</p>
<p>Enjoy.</p>
<p><strong>_______________________________</strong><br />
<strong>Written By: Sarah Miller</strong></p>
<p>We women enjoy talking—and after a lifetime of dating, you should have the flattened cilia in your ears to prove it. Once things turn serious though, you&#8217;re going to have serious conversations. The good news: You don&#8217;t have to get pulled into drawn-out discourse or end up arguing or revisiting the same exchange you thought you&#8217;d sorted out last week. Mastery is within your reach. Here are the top six questions every woman is hardwired to ask, and when she&#8217;s likely to ask them.</p>
<p><strong>_______________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Why don&#8217;t we talk anymore?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Be on the lookout:</strong> If there are extended, unexplained silences on her part. It may be her passive-aggressive way of saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m sick of filling these conversational holes.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Why is this happening to me?</strong> If you don&#8217;t erupt hourly with an Old Faithful-like gusher of steaming words and opinions, she&#8217;ll imagine that the hot, subterranean stratum of your relationship has cooled.</p>
<p><strong>The response:</strong> You will be tempted to refer to your stellar contribution to all the conversations above. You will think about saying, &#8220;What do you want to talk about?&#8221; Don&#8217;t. Applying male logic to female emotion is about as smart as throwing gas on a fire.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t talk anymore&#8221; is unsubtle code for &#8220;I&#8217;m starting to think you&#8217;re a bore, and I wish you&#8217;d change my mind.&#8221; So start. Ask more questions. Give longer answers. Read a book and tell her about it. You&#8217;re undoubtedly fascinating, but you have to market yourself, every day, to ensure she keeps buying.</p>
<p><strong>_______________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Are you thinking long-term?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>(May also be stated as &#8220;Are we getting married or what, you giant a-hole?&#8221;)<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Be on the lookout:</strong> If a) you&#8217;re dating a girl who is definitely the marrying kind; b) more than 2 years have passed; or c) she&#8217;s over 30.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Why is this happening to me?</strong> Because your girlfriend is annoyed at herself for having potentially wasted years of her life.<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>The response:</strong> She wants to know when she&#8217;s getting her damn engagement ring and, in the absence of a satisfactory answer, when you&#8217;re coming to get your stuff. Spare her your feelings on this one. If the answer isn&#8217;t weighed in carats, she&#8217;s not interested.</p>
<p><strong>_______________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Should we move in together?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Be on the lookout:</strong> If she&#8217;s been saying things like &#8220;God, I am so sick of walking around with my underwear in my bag.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Why is this happening to me?</strong> In an ideal world, after too many nights of &#8220;my place or yours?&#8221; both of you would blurt out, at the very same time, &#8220;Let&#8217;s live together!&#8221; This not being an ideal world, and women being more inclined to demand momentum, it&#8217;s often her suggestion.</p>
<p><strong>The responses:</strong> If you&#8217;ve been thinking the same thing, call the movers, and good luck to you. If not, tell her everything you imagine you&#8217;d enjoy about living together: waking up to her, seeing her even if you didn&#8217;t have specific plans.</p>
<p>This creates a favorable environment for expressing your reservations, about which you should be specific. Tell her you&#8217;ve always lived with roommates, and you want some time to live alone. Bring up pursuits—writing, meditation, compulsive masturbation (maybe not)—that require a degree of independence, but make sure you&#8217;re already involved in them. &#8220;I can&#8217;t live with you because I have to start my screenplay&#8221; is weak.</p>
<p><strong>_______________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Tell me about your family.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Be on the lookout:</strong> When you&#8217;ve been together long enough—3 months—that she expects a steady stream of emotional sharing. You know: Ideas. Feelings.</p>
<p><strong>Why is this happening to me? </strong>She&#8217;d like to find you fascinating, maybe even deep; but she needs a good backstory to confirm this.<br />
<strong><br />
The response: </strong>Start with some family photos. Then, at family gatherings, share sensitive &#8220;observations&#8221; with her to show that you&#8217;re emotionally in touch with your family: &#8220;My father seems a little lost now that he&#8217;s retired.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>_______________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Tell me about your exes.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Be on the lookout: </strong>When she begins relating lengthy anecdotes about her exes. She&#8217;s trying to create an atmosphere of mutual sharing, which you, my sadly pussy-whipped friend, are about to fall for.</p>
<p><strong>Why is this happening to me? </strong>Because your girlfriend is obsessed. Not with your exes, or even with you, but with herself. She&#8217;s not interested in your past relationships per se; she&#8217;s interested in what they say about her.</p>
<p><strong>The response:</strong> Emphasize that your sizable, but not overly indulgent, love and erotic experience has been in the company of beautiful, talented, smart women. She&#8217;ll do the logic: He&#8217;s dated women who were beautiful, talented, and smart. Therefore, I am beautiful and talented and smart!</p>
<p>When discussing &#8220;how things ended&#8221; in the past, present yourself as the man who has never found the right woman to love and understand him, but also the man who has never found a woman quite worthy of his best behavior. It&#8217;s all spin.</p>
<p><strong>_______________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Where is this going?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Be on the lookout:</strong> After you&#8217;ve had sex but before you&#8217;ve agreed not to see other people.</p>
<p><strong>Why is this happening to me? </strong>Because the Man Who Is Really Interested and the Man Who Is Really Not Interested have a strange ability to behave identically. We need to know: Do you have the potential to fall in love with us?</p>
<p><strong>The responses: </strong>If this is going somewhere: A slight prevarication—&#8221;I&#8217;m glad we&#8217;re talking about this, because I want you to know I am really interested in you&#8221;—should work. She needs to hear that you like her specifically, not just that you like having a little company when you&#8217;re eating and having orgasms.</p>
<p><strong>If this is going nowhere:</strong> Quickly introduce that small part of her who hopes your apathy is actually masking depths of passion to the larger part of her who knows that is bullsh&#8211;.</p>

<p>Time to take things up a notch with the following feature by writer Terry Shropshire(<a href="http://twitter.com/royaletee" target="_blank">@royaletee</a>). Apparently, Terry got tired of the double standard that he witnesses on a daily basis as it pertains to interracial dating among black people. I mean let’s be honest; if I posted pictures of me with a new white girlfriend, I’m sure that I’d probably lose some of my black female readers. (not that I would base my dating life on someone else’s feelings, but the fact still remains.)</p>
<p>By contrast, the same response isn’t felt when a black woman dates a white man. She usually hears responses like “that’s right girl!!! … I think I’m gonna do the same thing!!”</p>
<p>But before I delve into this topic anymore, and end up writing the piece myself, let me turn things over to Terry. Read, comment, share.</p>
<p><strong>________________________</strong></p>
<p><strong>Written By:</strong> Terry Shropshire</p>
<p>It’s a sight I’ve seen time and time again. A group of black women are sitting at a table in a restaurant, a mall or a hotel. An attractive brother strides by confidently with a white woman and suddenly the temperature drops about 25 degrees.</p>
<p>The sistas’ conversation halt in mid-sentence. They crane their heads in his direction and eye him like a pride of lions sizing up prey. Actually, the women seem to stop breathing altogether. All their energies are channeled into trying to drill large holes into the side of his skull with their hot, hostile glares. The black man, acutely aware that the women are cursing the very air that he breathes, steals sidelong glances at the women but doesn’t dare make direct eye contact.</p>
<p>Black men who date white women are accused of everything short of violating the Patriot Act. They are denounced as Uncle Toms and race-traitors and have to endure social crucifixions. Case in point: when a tabloid recklessly purported that the pro-black actor/author Hill Harper was dating a white woman recently, sisters nationwide were ready to storm Hollywood with pitchforks and torches and hunt Harper like an animal. So startled was Harper that he hastily fumbled out this tweet to his fans:<br />
<em><br />
“4 U guys that asked- I didn&#8217;t see TMZ, so don&#8217;t know what was said. But Nicole and I are ONLY FRIENDS!! She&#8217;s a sweetheart- But just friends!”</em></p>
<p>Yet, there seems to be much less of an uproar when prominent black women date and marry white men. In fact, in many cases, barely a syllable is uttered. Check out the list and see if you are surprised at the number and the quality of sistahs who’ve crossed the racial isle. Keep in mind that this is just a partial list.</p>

Fly Conclusion: </strong>So is there really a double standard? Do black men have a valid argument in the way that they are treated vs. the way black women are treated when it comes to interracial dating? Let’s hear it.</p>

<p>Society has played a huge role in our lives since the moment we were born. I can remember watching the videos back in the 80’s and admiring the gorgeous women strutting their long legs and mini skirts across the screen; so much so that I decided to pursue modeling myself. But has media ruined our perception of love and the value of a relationship… the sanctity of marriage? We have powerhouses like P. Diddy promoting sex, lust, and Ciroc, but what would happen if Diddy put the bottle down and campaigned for healthy relationships and marriage before babies? Imagine that, “P. Diddy for Partnerships and Parenting!” I know it may sound lame, but let’s face it; Diddy could sell water to a well so surely people would listen. I know some of you are thinking, “He didn’t follow that protocol himself,” but has it occurred that we could learn from his mistakes? I know what it is though… Ciroc pays and reality does not! What a shame! But MY point is this: Just because Usher ‘Reinvented Sex’ and Justin Timberlake ‘Brought Sexy Back,” it does NOT mean that this is a true vision of how life works. We are so caught up on portraying what we see on television and looking for the “perfect man or woman” (based on that perception) that we may pass up the things that truly matter like loyalty and trust. We say we want a loyal and trusting partner, but when we set out to date, we gravitate towards the total opposite of what we feel we may need. Why is that? Think about it; would it be wise to date a Terrell Owens if you needed stability? Would it be smart to date a Lil Wayne if he is blatantly telling you he wants to “F*ck every girl in the World?” Uhh, the answer is obviously N-O!</p>
<p>Sometimes I wish we could go back to the old school. I wish that we had more wholesome families in the forefront like our First Family, The Obamas. I wish more people took a chance on potential. I wish swag didn’t make the man, and I certainly wish that finances didn’t take precedence. But reality is, in this day and time, these things matter! This is when reasoning comes into play because finances and status should not be the ONLY criteria. Know what you want. With maturity, comes experience and with that experience comes the things you want and need. Can your potential partner fill that position? If they can’t, can they learn to? Who is going to have your back if the chips fall down?<br />

<p><strong>50 Things Women Wish Men Knew</strong></p>
<p>I ran across a feature today that I wanted to share. In it, the piece describes 50 things that women wish men knew. After reading the list, I was a bit confused because I honestly thought that there was one thing that women wished men knew … and that’s how to be psychic.</p>

<p><strong>President Barack Obama and first lady  Michelle Obama – </strong>While many couples may be designated as royalty, none are more deserving than Barack and Michelle Obama. The nation’s first black president and first lady are the premier couple of the nation and a powerful example of love for the world.</p>

<p><strong>Jay-Z and Beyoncé – </strong>Their first love may be music, but their greatest love is each other. Their fierce dedication to protecting their marriage from the media’s prying eyes makes it perfectly clear that hip-hop’s hottest (and most private) couple are the real thing, and like their music they’re here to stay.</p>

<p>I will never forget her name. It was Jai Miller<strong>*</strong>. In my mind, she was the perfect woman: beautiful, smart, funny … in short, she epitomized the prototype André 3000 so often sang about. Of course, we were only 16 at the time of our initial encounter, but that didn’t matter. In my pubescent mind, Jai was hands down the crème de la crème. </p>
<p>As study partners in math class, there was always this unspoken tension between us. Sadly, that tension would never be released. Why, you may ask? Well, before I ever got the chance to make my move, our resident football star convinced Jai that he was the man of her dreams. Even at that tender age, she was so sure that he would one day be her future husband. She then tried to act on that belief by offering him the purest Valentine gift she had to offer … her virginity.</p>
<p>I’ll never know how magical that night was for them … nor do I care to know. All I can attest to is the aftermath. A month later, the happy couple was no more, and all that Jai was left with was a broken heart and the herpes she contracted on that fateful night. For an evening that was initially meant to seal a lifelong bond between the two of them, she only walked away regret, and a life filled with prescription medications to treat her outbreaks.</p>
<p>But Jai’s story plays out all too often on Valentine’s Day. As a society, we tend to get so caught up in the commercialized lust of the day, only to lose sight of safety in the process. We fail to realize that one moment of weakness can lead to a lifetime of suffering.</p>
<p>So how can we avoid situations like this? For starters, we can work to limit our sexual partners. In doing so, we greatly decrease the likelihood of being exposed to diseases. In conjunction with the limiting of sexual partners, regular testing should also be instituted — by both parties. And finally, condom use has to become a sexual necessity, not an option.</p>
<p>Now I apologize if it seems like I&#8217;m preaching to the choir. That&#8217;s certainly not my intention. We&#8217;re all adults here, and have been engaging in STD prevention conversations for years — probably as early as my high school years with Jai. But just like her, the smartest people can allow emotions to block their ability to use logic. Even some of today’s biggest celebrities aren’t immune to poor sexual decision making. Just check out this list of celebs rumored to have contracted herpes.</p>
<p><strong>Male Celebrities:</strong><br />
Bill Clinton<br />
Derek Jeter<br />
Brad Pitt<br />
Michael Vick<br />
Robin Williams<br />
Dennis Rodman<br />
Colin Farrell<br />
Jason Kidd</p>
<p><strong>Female Celebrities:</strong><br />
Janet Jackson<br />
Mariah Carey<br />
Sheryl Crow<br />
Joumana Kidd<br />
Paris Hilton<br />
Britney Spears</p>
<p>In the end, I hope this all serves as a cautionary tale when embracing love on Valentine’s Day and beyond. By all means, pursue it wholeheartedly. But please, exercise caution … –dewayne rogers</p>
<p><strong>*</strong>Not her real name.</p>
