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.”

“I’ll Never Marry

Again Because…”

by John Mazen

When a friend recently got married, I felt sorry for him. I know he didn’t know what he was doing because it was his first time.  But I had been there and done that…and had vowed to never do it again.  In my opinion, it takes a certain kind of man to be married, to put up with all the stuff that goes with sharing a house with a woman    MORE

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

An Inside Look

At The Male Mind

by Chelsea Katlan

Many single women think that what men want out of a relationship is radically different from what they hope for.  “He just wants to date around,”  “He’s looking to have fun, period,” and “Why does he say one thing and do another?” are the kinds of comments they often make. But the opposite sexes are very much alike when it comes to love if you know how to read between the lines, says Greg Gilderman, author of the book, She’s the One: The Surprising Truth about What Makes a Woman a Keeper.  In this interview, he reveals what men look for in a woman—and how you can use this info to your advantage!   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

Dating Your Best

Friend’s Ex?

by  Dani Stone

When a friend confessed that her new secret lover was the ex-fiance of one of our best friends, I was shocked.  We had all been close since high school, and I couldn’t believe it. We were at lunch when she whispered as if someone else might be listening, that she had been dating him for the last eight months, and hadn’t told a soul.  The three of us were the kind of friends who shared almost everything, especially our romantic lives, and we trusted each other implicitly.     MORE
