Yes... *sigh* I have definitely met some really great guys in my history of dating. I feel like I have helped to prepare several men for the role of husband, father, provider, and bestfriend... There are many happy wives out there in America... Thanks to us! Go Lynne! Go P! But what about us SMH....

Facebook could have the propensity to ruin proper communications in relationships and to cause miscommunications... Tread lightly... Facebook is about perception... How do you want people to view you? How will people internalize what they see of you?
-
I think it is ok from time to time. It cannot be the main form of communication. It works for cute notes, reminders, confirming times and meetings, endearing comments... We cannot have a full-fledged conversation via text

Because we don't want to have a twitter account...

My favorite cupcake is from Tonnie's Minis in Harlem. It's a cupcake bar, so I can make different kinds of cupcakes to fit my fancy. I love them all!

uhhh, probably because they have other working body parts lol

Dedication + Discipline + Ability To Compromise + Self-Love = Ready For A Committed Relationship.
I definitely read that on someone's facebook status! But it is good stuff! Makes perfect sense! -

hmmm, we'll get back to you on this one.

Say "how you doin?" jk. Well for starters: speak up, be yourself and then let the chips fall where they may. What's the worst that can happen - we say no or you get to know us and discover that we're irresistible lol. You'll never know, if you don't try!

No, we have not. Yes, we would be open to going on a blind date but only if we trusted the person who set it up. We're single and ready to mingle! ;)

That would depend on where it's from. JP Lick's (Oreo, Mint Oreo, Coffee Oreo), Brigham's (Cookie Dough), Friendly's (Mint Chocolate Chip)

Dubai, Spain, Italy, France, London, Africa. And why? Because it would be free and you asked me.

my most memorable Christmas gift was when i really wanted a polaroid camera and i snuck into the living room and started peeking into boxes and saw that i got one. my mother caught me and told me to get out of there. on christmas morning i was so excited because i knew i was getting a camera, so i reached to open the same present that had my camera the night before, but instead my mother replaced it with tube socks. I was so upset and said "what happened to my camera?" My mother was laughing and said "what camera? serves you right for peeking at your presents". she eventually gave it to me but the shocked look on my face was priceless. needless to say i never tried to peek at them again. lol - Lynne

Adversity is a true test of your character. Life is about learning. If your lot lands you with a plethora of lemons, open up a lemonade stand - make that juice. Provide a cool refreshment for others! We learn from what others go through. It is usually all about God trying to get something out of us, or into us, for His glory!
Lemons are opportunities for growth! You can be bitter, fail the test, and remain ignorant or take the hurt and pain in stride and go through the process of true character development. -
Falling in love, then out of love is relative. It depends on the situation of falling in-then out, the quality of the relationship, and the individuals. There is no easy formula for falling in and out of love, in my opinion. For many of us, relationships have come and gone, and there is still a special feeling for that one person from your past.
I think women have an advantage in the whole "break up", "falling out" of love thing. We are talkers. Most women are open to express the emotions - hurts, hang ups, disappointments, short-comings, regrets, mistakes... This is because women are naturally relational beings. We talk, we cry, we go through the motions in a way that is "acceptable" in this society. Men on the other hand, I feel, have a more difficult time in these situations. I don't feel like men are open about what they truly experience during a break up. This kind of "weakness" would be severely judged against the machismo images of men we are fed through the media/popular culture. Furthermore, men do not have the same support systems as women, nor do they feel comfortable to be completely transparent in expressing their hurt, pain, and sadness when falling out of love. Again, I don't believe you can put a time frame/limit on falling in and out of love. It is different for everyone and subject to each relationship... Does this answer the question? -
I have a tendency to put myself in a box. Similarly, I put God in a box. I believe he has purposed me to do extraordinary things, and yet recently I have found myself living beneath who He says I am. Do I not believe he is able to do what he said? Sometimes. But, I constantly ask him to increase my faith. Acknowledging my purpose and having hopeful aspirations for attainment isn't enough. At this point I need to cut out all the distractions that hinder forward movement, regarding the call over my life. I limit myself. Why? I think at times I am scared to walk in the fullness of who I am, therefore usurping my greatness. Self-sabotage. Do I sound vain? No, I am simply saying - I have been called to do a lot. I spend a lot of time formulating the planning, pontificating on my passions, without deliberately seeking those things that will enable my achievement. I must do better. All these ideas lead me to feelings of lack of fulfillment. I have shared too much. Just being transparent. I am a work in progress, just striving to progress.
