Dating: Reminisce!
Have you ever heard a song and was immediately reminded of an old flame? There are even times when I smell a certain cologne and the image of my ex pops in my head, and I smile. Reminiscing can be a really fun trip down memory lane.
Isn’t it fascinating how sounds, smells, or places can remind us of how we felt the first time we experienced them? I am a sentimental gal, so I have held on to a few mementos of former flames. When I want to think of the good memories, I pull out old photos or seek out reminders of happier times.
What are your best memories with someone you dated? What kind of things trigger particular memories of an old love?
Do you still have items from your past relationships that hold good memories for you?

I then realized that he couldn’t offer much to me and he had too many issues, so I have decided to keep it as just a friendship
Maybe next time you should realize that BEFORE you give up the draws? IJS…

Good Afternoon, all,
Topic: usually music is what makes me reminisce. Flex, Moments In Love, Adore, If this world were mine, and the infamous Adina Howard’s Freak Like Me bring back to the single days and the women associated with the songs. Other than that, not much else makes me reminsce. No, I don’t have anything from former flames. Most of the time they were just lost during moves or thrown away during moves because I accumulate so much junk that I don’t want to move to the next place.
As for suing the other person: As a family law attorney, I sit on the fence about this one. I have dealt with more cases than I care to admit where the other woman or other man was a mutual friend. Sometimes, they were in the wedding party. Either the best man or maid/matron of honor. That means you betrayed you friend too. I tell many folks to be careful in whom that you confide.

If she can’t handle a single dude she really doesn’t possess the mental wherewithall for a married guy….she’s already gonna put her therapist’s children through college. Give her a break already

PG the best kept secrets are the ones you keep to yourself!! If you’ve got problems the only person you should talk about them too is the one you’re having problems with.
Those are A$$ whopping situations (I’ve been confiding in you while you been freaking them!)

Okay…she’s secretly pining for the wood whilst under the guise of “friendship”(on her part cause it seems like dude ain’t checkin for her like that)…I hope this is a trick someone’s playing on the blog. I hope Bluz is really a man(who’s probably been banned from here before) and just doesn’t have anything else to do…IJS

Single – I agree. But what she wants versus what’s being reciprocated aren’t aligned. Yeah, I have not problem kicking my heels up over a dude that’s returning the same. But getting it in as FWB and I don’t have the heart to handle is a self inflicted wound.

I can’t help it that I got some good D for the first time in a couple of years. I’ve already told ya’ll he’s the biggest I’ve had and is definitely the second best I’ve been with. I can’t help it if I’m craving more of that. I REALLY, REALLY don’t want a relationship with him. He’s a good man, but not good for me.

Ok stealing time to sneak peek..,.
Common…and no offense to Swissie who I luv dearly as a bro..
It seems from reading Bluz,she hops skip and jump as far as the wood is concerned..and just reading what she writes she has an affinity for real good wood..,
As a nutritionist myself…in a wood sense,(lol) I kinda thought maybe white wood ain’t hitting the spot for her..why not switch and try darker wood..u know oak,teak etc wood of darker version is quite reveered
Bluz,give my suggestion some real serious thought..
And u know some brother think white taco is an upgrade..not that I’m necessarily agreeing but u won’t be short of suitors if u hang around black club scenes seeing u do hang around there .
Black wood really lasts Bluz…u get black wood at nite…it lasts u a whole week ….
