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.”

“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

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

Reflections

Janie: “I liked him up to the point, when he took off his shoes upon entering my home, which he did reluctantly, and had a hole in his sock.  To me, when a man gets dressed to go out with a hole in his sock, it says a lot about his self-esteem.” Aaron: “The classic line I ever heard was when I walked in on my girlfriend snooping through the drawer in my bedroom, and she claimed that she was looking for something to sew for me, like an old sock.  I never trusted her after that.  A woman who could lie so glibly was not the woman for me.” 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
