Single Snapshots
Thoughts Out Loud
Paul: “A beautiful woman has to know she’s beautiful, be grateful for it, and feel gratified with it in order to be truly beautiful. I know a number of women with beautiful hair, skin, eyes, and body. But their heads are on so crooked that their beauty disappears in a matter of minutes.”
Breonna: “I used to suffer from loneliness until I got a boyfriend. Now I suffer from anxiety and insecurity, as I worry daily about who he’s with and what he’s doing. I don’t know which one is worse. I don’t trust him, but I don’t want to be without him.”
Jill: “A major rule in relationships that I think most folks don’t understand is when you break up with someone, you can never say in the same breath or conversation, ‘Hopefully, we can be friends.’ It’s like saying, I never really had any real feelings for you, and now that I’ve discovered that, I don’t want you to be mad. I want you to be my friend instead.”
Kimberly: “When I meet a man with possible romantic potential, I make a quick assessment to see if he’s worth investing any mind time in. One of the things I look at is his car. A man’s car tells you a lot about him. If a guy drives a Benz, he’s into being impressive and is usually very traditional. If he drives a Lexus, he’s usually vogue and stylish. If he drives a Porsche, he’s rich and self-indulgent. However, regardless of what kind of car he drives, if it’s over six years old, I take a pass.”
Santaya: “Give me a Southern man any day. They are raised up from little boys to honor and respect women. Even the worst scoundrels do you in a gentlemanly fashion.”
Marcia: “I believe women tell men too much in relationships, especially about past relationships. When I meet a new guy, I create the aura of pure sexual virtue, though I’ve been married twice. As far as I’m concerned, the past is irrelevant to any future encounters.”
Fenique: “Since I stopped sleeping with every ‘romance encounter’ my phone rings far more than it ever did when I was sexually active. Now I know what it feels like to be a challenge.”
