Wanted!
Fathers For Keep

by Dr. Christopher Bacorn

I had seen a hundred like him. He sat back on the couch, silently staring out the window, an unmistakable air of sullen anger about him. He was 15 and big for his age. His mother, a woman in her mid 30’s sat forward on the couch on the edge of tears, described the boy’s heartbreaking descent into alcohol, gang membership, falling grades and violence. She was thin and worn from frantic nights of worry and lost sleep waiting for him to come home. She had lost control of him, she admittedly freely. Ever since his father left four years ago, she’d had trouble with him. He had become more and more unmanageable and recently, had hurt someone in a fight. Charges had been filled, counseling recommended.    MORE


Will I Ever Marry?

by Nancy Strickster

I was thirty five years old and had never married, when my oldest sister invited me to come over for an “important talk.”  When she sat me down on the couch and poured tea, I knew she was getting ready to state some truths that she felt needed to be said, but I had no idea what the subject matter was.  She got right to the point.  “Nancy, I know you are dying to get married and be a mother, but you’re really not putting forth a great effort to achieve that goal.  You want respect, but you accept disrespect.  You want to be a wife, but you have grown into the label girlfriend.”    MORE



Why Some Guys
Find It Hard
To Commit

by Theo McNee

I had heard the speech before from other women in my past, who felt I was distant and expressionless.  As I sat listening quietly to the current woman in my life and the airing of her frustration, I did what I usually do when I’m in this position.  I gave the excuse of being professionally overworked.  We had been dating for over three months, and I was not meeting her expectations. She was complaining that I wasn’t attentive enough or available enough, and when we hung up, I was fatigued from the whole effort of trying to be most of what women want.  MORE


SINGLE SCENARIOS

This Could

Happen To You!

by Lisa Laird

I was on a first date one night with a guy driving a fancy sports car.  We were having such a great time laughing and talking in the car after leaving a restaurant that I didn’t even hear the police siren behind us.  When we realized that the police were pulling us over, we thought it was a mistake, but it turned out  he had gone through a red light and hadn’t noticed.  Consequently, they ran his plate and discovered a warrant had been issued for his arrest for non-payment of child support.  They made him get out of the car, handcuffed him and drove him to the police station.  I had to drive his car to the station, and he was later able to bond out, but he was so embarrassed, he never called me again.    MORE


If He Leaves
His Wife For You…
Can It Work? 

by Lyn Cardin

January 16, 2019

There are so many single women out here hooked up with married men who are promising to leave their wives.  But they never do…really.  I ought to know.  When I first met Clyde, he was charming, handsome, and immediately upfront.  He had a wife and three children.  I was very lonely at the time and tired of looking for love.  So, what originally began as an alternative to a hermit-like existence, evolved into a torrid love affair, as a secret meet became a way of life for me.  MORE


In Search Of
The Perfect Guy

Profiles In Courage

January 16, 2019

Sarah married the same man twice because she was unable to “luck up on anything better.”  She is currently divorced. She had been in and out of several relationships with guys that were unfulfilling and extremely disappointing.  Her words…”I am thirty-six years old, and I often wonder will I ever come across a relationship where I will feel loved, trusting, and comfortable.  I am a school teacher and I prefer men who are ambitious, exposed, and intellectually compatible.  But lately, I’ve been trying to expand my horizons by being more open to dating guys who are not necessarily on my social plane.  But that has not worked either.  I’ve found that men from different social strata have a tendency to be overly sensitive about our differences as it relates to taste, friends, and social pursuits.   MORE


What Your
Place Reveals
About You

by Darla Martin

December 22, 2018

Most people don’t realize that when they invite others to their home, their personality, taste, spirit, and imagination are on display.  Example:  If a man has an untidy place, it’s likely that if he doesn’t care about his own environment, he won’t care about you.  On the other hand, if a woman is a neat-freak, who believes in absolute order in her home, she’s more than likely a control freak.  Studies show the following…MORE


Rage: The
Consequences
Of Love Gone Bad

by CoCo Diong

December 19, 2018

As I walked toward the prison gates, my legs felt numb.  I couldn’t believe I had driven over seventy-five miles to visit one of my best friends, who had been sentenced to five years in prison for attempted murder.   I also couldn’t believe the sight of her when she entered the visitor’s room.  All of the evidence of her former diva existence was gone. Her hair was so unkempt I almost didn’t recognize her, and all of her treasured long fingernails were broken off.  She smiled when she saw me and I burst into tears.  I was still in shock over all that had happened, and seeing her in that condition didn’t help.  As she spoke sadly about her life behind bars, it was difficult to fathom that she could go from being a six-figure corporate executive to being a prison inmate…but then again it wasn’t.  MORE

At a party recently, I noticed several women sitting alone waiting for someone to notice them and give purpose to their being there.  Most stared off into space, while others complained loudly that the men in the room were backward because of their failure to approach.  I watched from a position of comfort as I stood in the midst of three guys I’d enticed into a debate about a controversial current event while trying to decide who was the most interesting.   MORE


How I
Doubled My
Salary In 10 Weeks

by Debra Hill

December 9, 2018

Last year, I started a new job with eagerness and readiness.  I was recently divorced and recuperating from financial ruin. In ten short weeks, I went from a clerk making $9.50 an hour to an administrative assistant making $28.50 an hour.  Here’s how I did it.  1.  I became known for my flexibility. My duties changed four times in one month and I never complained.  2. I showed a dedication to duty that went above and beyond the paycheck.  I wasn’t in a hurry to rush out the door, and I pitched in eagerly whenever I saw the need.    MORE


Chic Or Clone?
What’s Your
Fashion Style?

by Coco Diong

December 1, 2018

“I’ve dated beautiful women all my life, but I never found one who had the imagination and the freedom of spirit and expression I needed until I met Lisa. The most exciting thing about her is that I never know how she’s going to look from one day to the next.  She puts all her fashion fantasies to work and it’s exciting to watch her imagination in action.  Her sense of personal style puts her in a class by herself.”  I heard this while I was watching a daytime soap opera star being interviewed on a talk show.  After the show went off, I sat there thinking about my sisters, my girlfriends, and myself.   MORE

Pat was sitting outside her client’s office waiting to see him when he walked out with a guy who was extremely attractive. They were introduced and exchanged business cards at the urging of her client. He called the next day and invited her to dinner. They married one-month later…Anne had to go to the police station to get a police report after a guy ran into the back of her car.  She looked at the sergeant sitting behind the desk and he looked at her and it was love at first sight. They exchanged numbers, began dating, and married four weeks later.  MORE

The Kind You Never Forget

November 29, 2018

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.   Samantha met her dreamboat and married him three months later.  They moved into her home, she’d purchased the year before.  Three days after the wedding, however, she came home and found her house empty of all, but an old chair that belonged to her late grandfather.  MORE

<  More and more single women across the country are vacating those chic apartment high rises for single-family dwellings.  < Singles across the country are getting married more than ever, and they are still waiting in line in Las Vegas to do so. < There is not one night club frequented by blacks in any major city in the U.S., that is designated label-wise for singles, though most bars/clubs who have their doors open are primarily in business to be a social catalyst for people to meet and hook up.     MORE


Our Annual
Sex Survey
Attitudes, Actions, Etc…

by Vern Anderson & Isaac Salem

November 13, 2018

Confession:  “I find the competition out here to land a committed relationship is so tough that a woman almost has to settle for a casual encounter to feel like a woman.  In most relationships I’ve experienced, where the sex was emotional for me, it was seldom mutual.” We had questions about your sex life and we got some answers.  Over 475 single men and women responded to this survey.  They ranged in ages from 21-39.  We wanted to know if the attitudes among singles had changed since sexually transmitted diseases are more prevalent than ever among singles, especially women.  We asked about their lifestyles, as it related to casual sex, one night stands, the “friends with benefits” package, abstinence, etc.  Here’s what we found out:    MORE

Kerry – 37 – “I wouldn’t mind a woman asking me out if she were attractive.  But, I’ve only been approached by unattractive women.  It’s a tough question because a guy finds it hard to reject a woman outright.  And I think most men are taken aback a bit when a woman makes that kind of move.”       MORE


I Dream
Of Being A
Bride… But

by Selene Holston

September 30, 2018

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


Safe Driving:
Life Or Death
2015 Illinois Crash Facts and Statistics
This report was compiled May, 2017 by The Illinois Department Of Transportation

September 27, 2018

One of the guiding principles of The Illinois Department Of Transportation is safety. We must use the lessons these crash statistics teach us to prevent injuries and fatalities from occurring on Illinois roadways.   In 2015, Illinois experienced 914 fatal crashes on public roadways that resulted in 998 deaths. This is a 7 percent increase over the prior year.  Additionally,  the department saw increases in the number of total crashes (5.5 percent) and total injuries (7.6 percent). We are more determined than ever to address these rising statistics.  One life lost is one too many. Under IDOT’s leadership, several statewide programs help spread the message for safe driving behavior. Click It or Ticket, Start Seeing Motorcycles, and Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over are just a few initiatives intended to educate the public to help make them safe users of our transportation system.   MORE


When It’s Over
Can You Take
The Truth?

 by Coco Diong

August 1, 2018

I find it interesting that everyone claims to want the truth when they’re in a relationship, but few are brave enough to hear it or say it.  Personally, I think that if you genuinely care about the person and you want out, you feel compelled to be honest, to help them be better…even if it’s for someone else.  Yet, that same honesty should reflect your creativity such as, “I no longer feel we have a chemistry match, which I feel is important to the relationship.”  However, the people I interviewed for this article felt honesty in ending a relationship is an impossible route to take.  Meet them…  MORE


Where Are

July 23, 2018

Last month, I attended a Father & Daughter banquet with my eleven-year-old daughter at her school and I was amazed at the number of African-American girls who were there without their dads and were accompanied by their grandfathers or uncles.  My daughter later told me that many of her classmates didn’t have fathers at home.  After we talked, I recalled my own childhood, and how my brother and I and another kid on my block were the only three boys in the entire neighborhood who had a visible connection with their fathers.  Everyone else was either being raised by their mother, who was a single parent or a grandmother.   MORE

June 1, 2018

Studies show that one of the biggest challenges in marital relationships is money.  My mother used to say that “marriage usually begins with love, and ends with money.”  This month, marriages will be taking place all over the country, and money is probably not at the top of the concern list based on data gathered by The Marriage Institute of America.  I talked to several people who shared some interesting insight into the relevance of money when it comes to marriage, and the role it played in their marriage.   MORE


The Adventure
Of Traveling Alone

by Mandy Acliffe

May 15, 2018

I work in a large office, where at least eight women traveled last year to dream places alone.  One woman had always wanted to go to The Grand Canyon, and when none of her friends could afford to go, she decided to go alone, and she had the adventure of her life.   More and more, single women are making travel plans for vacations and finding love and adventure along the way.  Therefore, I decided to try it for myself.  I always wanted to go to Spain and cross over the Gibraltar Strait to Tangiers, which is in North Africa.  I had read about it and for three years I tried, but I could find no one to go with me.  Reluctant and against the advice of others, I boarded a plane to Costa Del Sol, Spain alone.    MORE


Disaster Dates
Ever Had One?

by Coco Diong

May 12, 2018

These are the dates that are seldom talked about.  They’re the ones where maybe you started out with a lot of hope and your hope died before the evening was over because something bizarre and unexpected happened.  For me, it was my first date with a guy I’d met at a party.  We had gone to dinner and at the end of the evening, he charmed me into going by his apartment.  However, when we got on the elevator, he dropped his keys, which fell down the elevator shaft.  Since it was midnight, there was no way for him to retrieve his keys, so he ended up talking me into letting him spend the night on my couch.    MORE

12 Landing Tips

May 7, 2018

Your heart feels ready to leap out of your chest. Beads of sweat build on your forehead.  Your mind is racing.  It’s not a full-blown interrogation — although it may feel like it.  It’s just a job interview.  While it’s no secret that job interviews can be nerve-racking, a lot of job candidates spend a significant amount of time worrying about what they will say during their interview, only to blow it all with their body language.  The old adage, “It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it,” still holds meaning, even if you’re not talking. You need to effectively communicate your professionalism both verbally and non-verbally, because delivering concise answers and expressing your enthusiasm at once can be difficult when you’re nervous, here’s a guide to walk you through it:  MORE

Some years ago, a runaway bride from Georgia gotten her fifteen minutes of fame because she did something that is almost unheard of regarding prospective brides.  She got cold feet at the altar and it made headlines in papers around the world.  But this act is not nearly as phenomenal as one might think.  We found three women, who ran away from the altar and left the prospective groom perplexed.  Here are their stories:   MORE

Recently, I came across some great life tips by the motivational speaker, Anthony Robbins, which offered a new perspective on living that I found life-changing.  Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.  Last year, at Christmas time, when I pulled the name of a longtime enemy out of the grab bag at work, I decided to exceed the $15.00 gift rule and gave her a $25 cash card.  When she opened the card, and came over and hugged me, I knew our feuding days were over, and I felt wonderful.   Later, she became my best ally at work.  MORE


How Much

A few years ago a co-worker who pointed out that I was a ridiculous workaholic trapped in a rut, who didn’t know how to have fun.   After our talk, I realized I was one of those women who felt like real fun couldn’t be had unless I was in the company of a man.    I was 30 years old, and had never been on a vacation.  For me, my pattern for fun if I wasn’t dating anyone, was TV and shopping.   If I worked hard all week, I looked forward to a movie on Friday night, shopping all day on Saturday, and shopping some more on Sunday after church.     MORE

St. Valentine was beaten with clubs and beheaded on Feb. 14, 278 A.D., according to legend – and History.com. Some say this is the reason we celebrate Valentine’s Day. Some say it’s because of a capitalist scheme to increase consumer spending, some say it’s the day birds choose their mates.  No matter the original reason we buy boxed chocolates and flowers, Valentine’s day is unavoidable…even for singles. Every store you walk into and every post that you see will be promoting V-Day, so it seems singles have two options. MORE

Romance in the workplace can be very compelling – and dangerous for so many reasons. Forbidden love tugs at the heartstrings of many, from the hopeless romantic to the stone-cold womanizer. It makes sense that people who work together are drawn to one another. The average American works 34.4 hours a week, which is plenty of time to get to know co-workers. 38 percent of American workers admit that they have dated a co-worker during their career, according to a survey conducted by careerbuilder.com. So, if you’re feeling a little heat in the workplace, don’t worry – you’re not alone.

When He’s

Not Your Type

by Theo McNee

December 28, 2017

It has been my experience that most men and women have a hard time expressing their lack of interest to the opposite sex, when they cannot return the sentiment.  Instead of being frank, or diplomatic (this word only applies when one is pressed for “the proper response”) most of us stutter, stammer or lie.   Example:  A guy approaches a woman whom he finds attractive, and after making his interest known, makes the common request for a way to have future dialogue.  (By the way, this example is in a social setting)  He asks for the phone number.  She, however, is not at all interested for whatever reason.     MORE

2.  We don’t always want to do what you want to do.  It has nothing to do with how we feel about you.  There are just times when we prefer to be in our own little world. Sometimes, we’re not thinking about you.  Live with it.  We cannot behave, feel, think or talk the way you think we should.  Believe it or not, we are not the same.  Allow for our differences, and give us breathing room .
