Lucky to Have You
I once read that relationships are like blenders, you need one, but you’re not quite sure why. I know we all go through bad dates or relationship stress sometimes. Of course it’s not always easy to relate to one another but that’s perfectly normal and to be expected. There are probably moments when we want to throw in the towel and give up.
The truth is, we are lucky to have each other. I can honestly say showing appreciation and gratitude to your partner or date can go a long way. Even if you don’t express it in words, you can find a way to let them know that you feel fortunate to be with them. I would think this adds more potential to your budding romance or add more shelf-life to your relationship .
Why do you think we are lucky to have each other? How do you show how it?
Happy Friday! What fun and exciting things do you guys have planned?

Afternoon All,
I’ll go ahead and say it, Wifey IS lucky to have me. I’m a great guy, bidness handler, humble to a point, great Father, Sincere, compassionate, loving, caring and I’m All In where she is concerned.
Likewise I am VERY Lucky to have her for all of the same reasons (cept she’s a great Mother).
Lets take it slow – I never really had that one used on me. I however have used that and it works. Whenever I said it in the past apparently that meant that I’m not trying to press to get some. What that did was expedite me getting some. Lesson learned for me was if you try hard to get it then you’ll have to wait. If you just wait a minute she’ll give it to you. Thats not across the board just a few of my experiences.

@SlimOne ~ when a guy keeps saying “you know you like me” he’s merely trying to convince you and himself cuz he cain’t believe you’re not interested cuz he’s such a great catch in his own mind!
@WillieD ~ both of you are truly fortunate to have each other.

M. I wouldn’t say there is necessarily someone else. I’m single and am open to meeting new folks but as far as having any kind of emotional feelings for anyone…that’s a big fat NO. Met a dude at OSS (old skool Saturday) that I exchanged numbers with but we haven’t went out yet. lol So homeboy IS coming on a bit strong for it only being about 3wks and seeing each other maybe 3 times, one of which was at the movies, so that doesnt count. Matter of fact, he texted me while we were in the movies asking how I thought things were going. LOL
I texted him back: the person you’re trying to reach is unavailable. Please hang up and try your call again. Lol

@Leggs You do have a point about him feeling like he’s a great catch…problem is does he have to tell me that all the effing time? Tells me all the time how chicks have crushes on him, he has groupies, he doens’t have an issue meeting chicks, the dudes that blow my head up trying to holla at me have nothing on him and should try walking a day in his shoes…it goes on and on

@Leggs, I hope Lil Leggs feel better. Are you making homemade chicken soup?
@Dream_n we have some nice weather in ATL today…53 degrees and sunny. You should have sent me a hotdog. There is this spot that have turkey hotdogs Chicago style up there…I could use one today.
As for lets take it slow…I have used that one when I saw a guy rushing…rushing to get in the bed…rushing to know where I stay…rushing to occupy my time and space…just rushing like a running back…

“I wouldn’t say there is necessarily someone else”
So there is someone on some kind of radar right? The guy that manages the Church’s chicken, the Deacon from, Church, the Trainer lol. Im joking.

@SlimOne ~ you have to take talk like that with a grain of salt. Those who continuously pump themselves up all the time aren’t all that, even if they look good. Underneath, they’re insecure, needy and usually become possessive.
@Professor ~ how the heck did you know that. After her apptmt going to the store to get stuff to make soup…get outta my head!
@SlimOne ~ you can bolt in DreamsM direction, just be done and gone by 8:22!

There you go tellin’ me no again

Don’t you know, don’t you know
There you go tellin’ me no again
There you go, there you go
I wanna be more than just your friend
Don’t you know, don’t you know
Please be mine, oh, girl
Because I really, really, really wanna be yours
Every time I ask you, oh, you give me your love
You tell me you’re not ready, tell me, girl

@Raqi Naw dude isn’t being playful. Because after I sent him that message back in the movies, he actually sent me another text. I didn’t feel my phone vibrate, so he leaned over and said, “You got mail”. He sent a message saying For real, what do you think of the vibe so far…i was dude we are IN THE MOVIES. lol
@Leggs Yeah i’ve wondered if he is a little insecure, hence his need to constantly want to take an account of this courtship. It’s simply draining to me.

Willie, did you see my earlier post? I told him I didn’t think we were compatible or that I felt I wasn’t right for him…the next day he acted as if we never had that convo and invited me to take a weekend getaway with him. LOL!

Raqi In one of our earlier long conversations, in mid sentence he told me he had just had an epitome…..he said “you are going to think i’m crazy but…but I just had this feeling….I just know you’re going to have a baby by me.” He was like, he is normally not this way but he thinks it’s beyond him and I & that he’s just going to roll with it. Now THAT I took as a joke.
Willie Not unless he saw the CT when i wasn’t looking. Maybe he was excited by the fact he could still see on the other side of me if he looked at my gap.
I told him I would be out of town at the time he was wanting to go. He said, You suck and I’ll just take someone else. I said OK. He was like See, that’s what i’m talking about. You act like you don’t care.

I just think that maybe because, so far as I know, appears to be a guy that has himself together career wise & is attractive, that he might be more used to women off the rip kissing his arse or always running up behind him. So along comes Slimmy who is just ‘taking it slow’, not blowing up his phone, not trying to feed his anaconda before even taking it out for a walk that it’s not registering why i’m not being the same as the ones that preceeded me. Who knows?

Slim, I could see a relationship with a guy like that turning into an abusive one. Those that cannot take no for an answer, for whatever reason, tend to be very possessive which leads to being abusive.

Luvbug??
The city is not that big,it was during the day and she saw my car fisrt than i saw her…but everthuing happend quickly..they were looking for a ride(lift) standing on the side of the road..just as i was approaching,she kinda looked away and as i passed them, and realized that was her,i checked my rear and saw them getting into another car.
So isaid, ‘AHA” and kept it moving and even called her on the monday,talking and doing the usual…..
I was in hunter mode..waiting on the opportunity to feel her stuff.

I get this part but if you are dating a couple of dudes why should he have to pay for you? If you like this guy or think you may (obviously its something there which is why you are out with him) would it hurt you to say, hey you are cool, you took me on 3 dates, I got this one.
Dont just show up with some tuna sandwiches and some chips like the movies like hey lets have a picnic. Thats says you are cool but really not worth me spending some money on you. Yes I know you spent money at Publix for the Tuna. Give what you get.
M dot – Why should he have to pay if I’m dating others? I guess life ain’t fair, M. Give what you get – my SO and others have never complained about that with me. In fact, I was raised to give my best, what I would want someone to give me.
And M, I’m a foodie. Tuna sandwiches, on a picnic? Man, people PAY me to prepare picnic lunches for them and tuna sandwiches won’t be on the menu.

Slim: “Maybe he was excited by the fact he could still see on the other side of me if he looked at my gap.” – What got me was when I could stick my fanga thru there and lick the ketup off my fanga nail. Wait minute that didn’t come out right.
Dream_n: I’m going to the Hawks game tonite too. Does your sister like alligators?
Raqi/Leggs: Dayum yall need to stop watchin Dr. Fill. Ole boy is just suffering from attention deficit syndrome that Slim is giving him. Slim is doing the samethang we do to chicks. Slim could gets some booty from him anytime she wants now.
