Online love is a battlefield too?
I have to hand to the single people who are online dating these days. Seriously, you are true soldiers of love! A lot of us go online, create a profile, answer the billion personality questions, load a picture, then actually communicate with potential dates. That takes focus and effort that some people don’t even put into “offline” dating!
I think people are used to doing it now so the rules of engagement, as it were, are easier to determine and perhaps better then it used to be. What kind of things should you always consider when deciding to date online? How do you gauge real interest? It seems that the physical attraction (or lack thereof) is the biggest hurdle to clear in the beginning. What do you think makes it easier to offset that challenge?
Have you tried online dating recently? Do you believe it has lead to good matches? If you had to put a profile up, what sorts of things would get your attention? Humor and wit, racy pictures?
The matchmaker, Paul Brunson who guest blogged for us (aka Real Life “Hitch” ) has taken to Twitter to connect single people from all over! It’s very interesting to see the questions that people want to ask the bachelor/bachelorette.
If you meet someone online, what are the most important questions to ask to get a feel for how compatible (crazy?) they are?

Bishop Eddie long, well he didn’t molest the kids, it was consensual and they were of age when the started right? So this is just a case of one fudge packer getting mad because he packed another person fudge? That is if any of this is true….I think his bigger problem is him dealing with God because of the position God placed him in as leader and as a husband with Major influence. Those kids must of liked the gifts, cars and getting their fudge packed if it took them this long to say something. They just didnt want him on any other persons Hershey HWY. Gross Gross Gross

@Melo ~ I don’t think anyone eats oysters everyday. To be honest, other than the side effect I’ve been told it has, I see no other reason to eat them.

sassy and dd something new would be good for watching the game just where?!? I haven’t been out yet on a sunday but one of these away games I have to find a chill spot very low key
I concur Lady but where? There’s a Luella’s on Tara that looks pretty nice. I’ve eaten there once and the live band was cool but I don’t know if they’re gonna show the game. More than likely they are,though…. Any of you ladies have any other spot worth while?..or a new place that’s caught y’alls eye.

See!!!! ….2 Can…..You and I are both right about Simple Man/White Man. White Man just answered PR about dancing in the nude on yesterday afternoon….Just stop playing dude, cause it ain’t working for you. Not to mention that e-mail addy he posted again…the same one “white man” a while back with just the name changed, same numbers.

@White Man give swiss your ipod and let him check it out. Swiss you can’t shuffle three songs without hearing celine dion, white snake or bon jovi on my end. Can I keep my black card?
@Delvin he will lay hands on your pee pee from what I read in that complaint. Is that what you want?????

@Purp I see
@the blog ryan on vee is doing his show on when was the last time you jumped to conclusion without having all of the facts, and he is supporting his show today talking about richard jewel (bless his sweet soul), and the race riot downtown when the AJC, yes the ajc and three other local papers wrote a story that was a lie about black men rap-ing white ladies knowing it was a lie. So Vee to the 1-0-3 is really trying to help bishop out

I should have guessed that y’all are on the newest church scandal.
All I’m gonna say is that I’ve heard rumors for years (at least since 2002). I have an friend that has shouted for years that he was approached by EL. However, nothing went beyond that.
You can say rumors are just rumors, but a third lawsuit was filed against him today. EL better hope that this does not turn into an Earl Paulk like situation.
This just another case that folks should follow the Word and not a man.

Melo remember when the lawyer was talking about this yesterday and said “these three” young men and then corrected herself and said “two”….well this morning on v103 she said there’s been another person to come forward so I guess we’ll see. They say sh*t don’t stink til you stir it up….well it’s about to get real funky for somebody.
