THIS WEEK

Raye Breaks Silence On Michael B. Jordan Dating Rumors After Six Flags Outing. Raye is clearing up speculation about her relationship with Michael B. Jordan after the pair sparked dating rumors with a recent outing.

The 28-year-old singer and the 39-year-old actor were spotted visiting Six Flags together last month, prompting questions about whether their friendship had turned romantic. But Raye made it clear that fans should not read too much into the amusement park trip. “No, we’re just friends who like roller coasters,” she told ‘ExtraTV’ at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards this week.

There is, however, another reason the two have been spending time together. Raye confirmed that she and Jordan are collaborating on an upcoming project. “I’m technically not allowed to talk about it because I might get in trouble,” the Grammy winner said. The mystery project offers a more straightforward explanation for their recent time together, even if Raye’s comments are likely to generate even more curiosity about what the pair have planned. While she shut down the Jordan romance speculation, Raye has been unusually open about where she currently stands when it comes to love. Last month, Raye revealed that she intends to call her next album ‘And Then She Fell in Love,’ but joked that she is “on strike from making an album until I fall in love.”

The Dating Chronicles

Feelings

Ann had been with Rick for four years and though she loved him, she had no real sense of what he felt.  She knew he liked her, but he was a quiet man who was always there when the rains came and the sun came out.  But he never spoke of what he felt. On many occasions, she tested him in an attempt to arouse some emotional expression, but he never responded in the manner she hoped. She tried making him jealous of fake telephone calls from fake admirers, but nothing worked.   MORE

Socializing:

The Classy Thing To Do…

by Sierra Silverspoon

Never tell someone something said about him/her that was unflattering, degrading, or maligning, and put it under the banner of friendship or truth-telling. A bad report should never be reported.  After an arranged blind date didn’t work for a cousin,  her “best” friend informed her that the guy said she was “too overweight.”   MORE

Q. I recently met the most wonderful guy on a blind date, and he seems as thrilled with me as I was with him. I was extremely excited about the potential of the relationship until I mentioned his name to my brother. It turned out that he knew him as a former stalker of a co-worker he used to date. We have been out at least four times, and he has grown very intense about our relationship. Of course, now, I’m no longer interested, but I don’t know what to do. I don’t wish to end it abruptly, because he may be dangerous, but I know of no other way. Would you do it on the phone or in person?. MORE

Just Who Is

Your Type?

by Jovan Tahale

When my friend first pointed Don out and told me she wanted me to meet him, I balked.  I could tell long distance that he was not my type.  He was too tall for me and I could hear his laughter from across the room.  He seemed boisterous and I preferred guys who were low-key with a cool exterior.  “He’s not my type!”  I told her dismissively.  “What about the guy standing next to him on the right?”  I asked with a wink.  He was more my type. He was lean, the right height and I liked the way he was dressed. “He’s married and he’s a jerk!” She said laughing. “Come on,” she insisted, “you’ll love Don.” Remember, smart women, don’t judge books by their covers.  MORE

The Downside To

Being A Bride….

by Selene Holston

It’s my dream to one day marry a man (providing he is all that I am hoping for) who shall adapt quickly to my abstract philosophy that marriages would fare better if the couple lived across town from one another.  In other words, after the honeymoon, he would maintain his abode and I would maintain mine.  Therefore, though we would be together as man and wife, we would live apart to stave off the inevitability of boredom and monotony that accompanies marriage when two people are on top of each other every day.    MORE

Stranger Danger

by M.K. Allison

Imagine this…The lights are low, and the music is soft.  And you…you’re dazzling in an outfit that costs almost as much as your son’s tuition last year.  At the moment, you’re sitting across the table from a man who seems like he was catalog ordered, especially for you, from the Master Matchmaker.  He is tall, your kind of cute, resplendently dressed, articulate, and available…or so you think.     MORE
