I have been fighting with myself over what to say in my bog lately. I am tired of writing about love. I am over the gossip and the news and I don’t want to reveal my fashion tips for fall quiet yet..
But God has laid it on my heart to blog tonight. When I’m alone and full of emotion my heart expounds with Love. True Love, for myself and for those who read my blogs. Truth is, I started this blog for YOU. Yes YOU reading right now. I started it so that you wouldn’t make the same mistakes that I have and so that you wouldn’t have to endure the same pain that I have felt. And it has felt good. My ex learned a lot about me through reading this blog, I have had strangers tell me they NEEDED some of my postings and I have relieved some major heartbreak and heartache through my stories in this blog. But 1 thing is for sure is that the BEST IS YET TO COME!
Since I got dumped (Yes, I’m transparent a HELL) I haven’t been out. Not because I can’t but because my desire to meet new people is pretty much non-existent. I don’t like the cat and mouse chase. Yes I get approached every where I go and YES I am so GRATEFUL that God made me beautiful but it annoys me that I CAN’T just go pick up my mom or go to the grocery or even DRIVE without a man trying to holla at me. Why can’t you just enjoy my beauty, say hello and move on. I am not even the type that is approachable and that is usually my downfall when it comes to meeting people who really are deserving.
I’ve dated all kinds of men, post-graduate degree men, preachers, lawyers, athletes, musicians,artist, barbers/hair stylists. etc. But 1 thing I’ve learned is that a job doesn’t make a man. I have given the men I loved inspiration to start and continue businesses, done homework for them while in grad school and I have even cleaned their homes from top to bottom. I’ve gotten thank you and Gifts but nothing is more powerful than the love I have gotten in return. The thing is I couldn’t be with an athlete or a musician because I require time and attention. Buying my love does NOT work. I deserve a man who has a very personal relationship with God, works, takes care of his child (if they have 1) and takes care of me!
For so long I wanted a man like my family/ friends told me I should have. 1 that is a college graduate, 1 without children, 1 who grew up with ‘things” but truth of the matter is all I want is a man who loves me. I have yet to find a man that is like what everyone wanted me to have that loved me for me.
I don’t care if you drive a Honda or a Hummer . If you work at UPS or Merrill Lynch. All I care about is if you love me and would take care of me. Everything else will work itself out. I’d rather push a man to start his own business than deal with a man who has everything and never worked for anything a day in their life! Just a hard working black man who understands I have expensive taste, I like to have nice things and I will work hard to get them as long as he works hard with me.
It saddens me that I have friends that wont date a guy because of his income bracket. But how would you feel if a man told you he didn’t want to date you because you make $35k and he makes $1.5million a year? Double standards kill me! Steve Harvey said it best when he said “IF a Man loves you, he will always Profess, Provide and Protect” If a man doesn’t try his hardest to provide for you he doesn’t love you in the 1st place. So my thing is go for the man who loves you and is willing to work with you FLAWS and ALL.
I know he’s coming to my life, so I’m sure he’s coming to yours!
Love and Blessings

I definitely feel you on this, Bennett sister. I’m waiting for the man who will profess his love for me, provide for me, and protect me as well.

You know what —– as a friend of your via twitter i think you got your head on straight and you call them like u will call them… enjoy life… and your man will come to you when you are looking………. i know it easy for me to say that bec i am married for 7 going on 8 years ……. but like I told my wife I have female friends like u have male friends but the main thing is u gotta live life to the fullest.
Like i said via twitter.. that fewl is a fewl for dumping u…. wth… u come off as a God fearing woman that dont tolerate no bs and u always seem to help people.
Ya future man is coming – it was written in the book of Jerimah (i dont remember the verse or chapter but it was something about God having a plan laid out for u while u was in ya mother’s womb)
Just focus on u and breathe and enjoy life…….
But one ? for u- and I am guilty of this myself… why do yall dont like to be holler at or compliments in public… I thought yall like to know we would walk on water just to get ya attention lol
But for me.. i just like to network and have friends.. but if and I saying this loosely I was a free agent… u be I would be hollaring atcha in a respectful manner.. not like a piece of meat but in a classy decent way just to know somebody is peepin u! u know what i mean?
