Examining 5 Common Relationship Myths

There are but three certainties in life. Death, taxes, and John McCain’s inability to give a high five. While those three occurrences are virtually money in the bank, what you can’t always rely on is a complete understanding of love and relationships. Here’s the deal; as appealing as love may be, its intricacies are often as confusing as Al Sharpton’s insistence that man perms are cool.

Sometimes Rejection Is A Good Thing

I was just two months into my journey as the Fly Guy, and the buzz surrounding my love advice brand was already building. As a result of my increased visibility around the city, a local radio station invited me down to do a guest spot as a love expert. While relaxing in the staff lounge, a young lady walked in, and was easily one of the most beautiful women that I had ever seen in my life.

5 Signs That You’ve Been Single For Too Long

You can always tell when a wild animal has been held in captivity for too long. They possess this glazed over look in their eyes—it’s unmistakable. The same can be said for those who have been single for an unbearably long period of time. Now I’m not talking about a couple of months either. Let’s just say this person hasn’t had a real date since Bobby Brown could actually afford his child support payments.

This Love Can’t Be Explained

Are there times when you can say too much; and times when your need to express your love becomes so overbearing, that in the end the special moment is tainted? Well as a man born with a gift for words, I understand that there are times when my words get in the way.

Brokenhearted But Ready To Try Again

Dear Fly Guy, I broke up with my boyfriend about 6 months ago. How long do you think you should wait before jumping into another relationship? I’m starting to get lonely, but I’m scared I might get hurt again. What should I do? Please help?

Jada Pinkett Smith Speaks On Baby Mamma Drama

My trip to LA last week, found me having quite an interesting chat with Jada Pinkett Smith. While I won’t bore you with all the details of our conversation, I do want to share her interesting views on “Baby Mamma Drama.” As one who’s personally dealt with raising another woman’s child (from husband Will Smith’s previous marriage), she was all too ready to help others avoid the pitfalls that can occur with such a scenario. Check out the audio of what she had to say.

The Fly Guy On Twitter

While I realize that it’s not as exciting as trying to figure out “where in the world is Carmen Sandiego,” you can still keep tabs on me. (Think of it as a cool consolation prize.) So follow me on twitter

Love Quotables: Chapter 5

It’s been a while since I took the time to highlight some of my favorite expressions of love by everyday people and prominent figures in history. But today’s a new day, so I have a fresh sampling of unique, heartfelt expressions of love with my latest edition of Love Quotables. Enjoy.

The Thrill Is Gone

Let’s switch roles for a moment because I really need to discuss something with you. (Yeah, I’m stepping out of Fly Guy mode for just a sec.) You see, there’s this special someone that I’ve cared about for as long as I can remember. And honestly, if you would have asked me a few years back, I probably would have told you that I’d love her forever.

What’s Holding You Back?

Do you feel any pressure on your chest right now? No, I’m not talking about the effects from eating your Aunt Lisa’s day old greens. But I do believe there is this invisible force that keeps pushing you back every time you get close to being in a serious relationship. So how can we fix the problem?
