Before you judge the next guy you meet by his “cover” or what you initially see …consider these stories.  Jill – “When I first met my guy on a blind date, I couldn’t get past his height. Instantly, I made up my mind that this was our last date. He was 5 inches shorter than me. But by the end of the date, I was so overcome by his personality that he appeared taller than any guy in the room, and I was ready to follow him wherever he wanted me to go.  MORE

The Dating Chronicles

Confused

Bill was on his phone as usual bragging about Toni to his friend Brad.  He and Toni had been dating for five months and though he really liked her, and was proud to be with her, he considered her high maintenance. She was beautiful, yet distrustful, suspicious, and too demanding of his affections.  She insisted they hold hands in public, kiss in elevators, and talk every night before they went to bed.    MORE

I feel she was in control of the situation and she violated me because we’re family. My family, including my parents, are very angry with me because of what I did. Do you think I was wrong? MORE

How I Transformed

From Dull To Dazzle

by Nikki Hale

I remember it well.  The night my life changed.  I was on a blind date with a guy my sister had arranged.  When I stepped out my car and saw him, I was thrilled and intimidated at the same time.  He was a star and instantly I felt out of my league. Though he was polite throughout dinner, which he tried to sprinkle with a few jokes, it was clear he was not pleased with my appearance    MORE

Charise: “When I was married, I was afraid to leave my husband because I didn’t want anyone else to have him, though he treated me like trash in private and in public.  He slept with my best friend’s sister and bragged about it to me, in front of my family. I stayed with him because he took care of me financially. I finally left him when I came home and caught a naked woman under my bed.”  MORE
