I began reading the writings of The Man (my brother whom I refer to as MPH) in September; I found his writings to be honest, refreshing, and insightful.

I’m so very happy for the both of you.

Your post was great...real and genuine. Love doesn't know color. I truly believe there is that "one" for everybody. Sometimes you have to go through a few relationships to allow yourself to grow and be open when that person comes along. Some people are so different yet so much alike as you have put it in your post. Congrats to you! Rachel´s last blog post..Happy Birthday To Me!

That is awesome. I believe I've found and been with the right fit for the last almost 15 years. I talk a lot he doesn't. He is strong willed and so am I. True love and a soul male is rare, but beautiful to see. Jennifer C.´s last blog post..What is Happening to the Libraries?

Congrats! That is the best feeling in the world to know that you actually can love someone and they love you with the same intensity. I just turned 40 this year and it has taken me this long to find the man of my dreams… funny thing is is that he was right ther in front of my face the whole time! Not even one that I considered. It was just a fluke that we even started talking! Funny thing again is that I’ve known him since kindergarten…all the way through high school but never “hooked” up with him until now. He is amazing and a refreshing change to what I have dated in the past and through the other relationships and him, I am well aware of what i want and what I dont want. A lot of our mutual friends are shocked because they would have never considered us a match at all …especially after all of these years. He is good for me and I am for him. My point… you are blessed to have him and he, you. Doesnt matter what color he is…love has no color… just an awesome, beautiful and fulfilling feeling that very few are able to truly experience. So when you find it, keep it and cherish it.

Congratulations! It really does not matter how the package of love is created, as long as there is equal parts in making everything work.

Me, I have not found my type…

it is funny how I came across this after writing a journal entry about a guy I met earlier this year and I am shaking off as we speak. Meeting people in my profession(journalism) is kind of crazy, especially when positive changes happen – like my first published book – and three times the men I have encountered were met through my doing a story on them. Each one gave the notion of keen interests and I put my guard down and take my time getting to know the person…but that other shoe drops regardless. and I get disgusted with myself. I try to take each incident as lessons and now I am at the point of just stepping back until I am fully ready.

I do have a type – and each guy had a little bit of it…but a lot of crap added on.

What a wonderful post. I like your style. Most black women who date white men claimed they had no reservations and what difference does it make. I think that the fact you took in all the dynamics and realized this was the right fit and embraced it. You have been blessed. Dera´s last blog post..Fall into Fiction 2008

Congrats Djuanna!!! It doesn’t matter- he can be purple , orange and green, but as long as it works for the two of you then that’s all that matters. My “type” – I know what it is, an I have come across some here and there who meets some of the “requirements” (for lack of a better word), but not all and unfortunately they didn’t have enough of the requirements to make me settle. But I am keeping hope alive.

Thanks Niambi. I am indeed happy. As for dating these days- my advice is to know what you DON’T want, as much as what you do want. It will narrow the field rather quickly. LOL

I’m happy that you’re so happy! It shines through your post.

After long, long years with one man and not having been “out there” it’s a brave new world for me. It’s interesting, that’s for sure. In my recent travels, I have met two men who couldn’t be more opposite! Oh, and do I mean opposite (lol) Take a little bit of one and a little from the other, and “he” could definitely be my type, whenever the time comes. I’ll just have to wait and see…and call on somebody for help in navigating the 21st centurydating waters
