Why do you need marriage?
I don’t think that anyone should be talked into marriage. If you don’t want to marry, you definitely should not do it. You know what you want, right? So ..I don’t understand why people try to convince people who do want to be married, that they are wrong for wanting to get married.
A couple I know have been together for a couple of years and one of them decided that marriage is not what he wants. This is causing quite a dilemma now because he wants to convince his significant other that being together should be enough.
What do you do when you realize that your views about marriage has changed since you first started dating someone? How do you explain the reason you want and need to get married?
A lot of people change their outlook on something, but when that has an impact on the person you are with, how do you figure out what to do next?

@Exiled ~ there’s no need for me to “cry out loud.” I can handle mine if I want to. I choose to ignore my present prospects..that’s all.
“I like Leggs because she is deep!” That’s not even cute!

Exiled – I have no need to justify my boo’s wang trappings at all. I was just a little thrown off that you were still pondering on the bedazzled jewels of Purp.
Speaking of wangs, did yall hear on the radio about the new condom in the works that helps a dude maintain an e-wreck-shun?…the idea supposedly is to help aid those men that can’t stand condoms and have issues continuing their hardness while wearing a jimmy hat??

@Exiled ~ I know you always talk about how free you and your boys talk, especially back in the village. The villages in America find it strange for a grown man to inquire continuously about another man’s wang. We know you mean no harm, just weird!

I’m no man, Exiled, but I think the wang discussion may be had between biological brothers. Not your homies. Ask a man, if they discuss their wang’s girth, etc with each other.

This morning a chick on the radio said she was on a first date. The date went to the bathroom and when he did, very attractive dude approached her and asked what the deal was and she said it was not serious, just a first date. So he gave her his card and said to call him if that situation didn’t work out. As this card was exchanged, her date comes out of the restroom. She didn’t lie to him about what happened but he threw $20 on the bar and told her to find her own way home and mumbled something about being disrespectful….Was that over the top as far as his reaction??

The females in my clan do a good job taking care if their nana cleaning etc do us mention can partake.
Master he he bating is as good as cheating to us do we don’t do that.

Dang SlimNu, we only have 30 mins for that convo. I don’t think it was over the top. It’s much like taking a call and carrying on a convo while your first date waits for you to get off the phone. There’s a level of disrespect, but her saving grace, kinda sorta was she told the truth. This is a tricky one simply because she’s free to keep her options open, but unfortunately he saw the transaction.

Well, folks were arguing that the guy approached her, not the other way around. It’s apparent that she was at least semi-interested in the 2nd guy but afterall it was just a 1st date. I might have tried to play that off some sort of way.
Just the other week, the Beau and I were in Publix. I’m looking at some sauces while I send him to get something else. I’m standing there minding my own business when this dude walks up and hands me a card. I don’t even recall him saying anything. I was just like okay??? I orginally thought it was for a nail shop since the picture on the card were of hands. However, it actually was for a massage business. No sooner than buddy handed me the card, did the beau come walking up. It was just awkward but I gave him the card. No biggie.
