I was on the 2 Train to work on Thursday, working on several blog posts with my laptop. This isn’t an uncommon occurrence as my best drafting occurs on the train. Engaged in my work, an attractive, thick woman decides to sit next to me. Before she plopped down next to me, I noticed her, and returned to my computer screen. I was engaged in my work and didn’t pay her any additional attention nor did I want to. My focus was infront of me, not the person sitting next to me. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

I lied to myself when I began dating. When I started SCG, I was looking for something casual, mainly because I wanted to dip my feet into the dating pool to see what was there. I hadn’t dated for a long time, and I wanted to put into practice what I believed dating to be. I also felt I wasn’t ready for a long term, committed relationship with a woman. By this time I figured a post like this would include my stories of a series of short-term relationships, where I would have learned the most about myself opposed to when I was single.
I was wrong. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Chris Rock is 100% correct. When you’re single, women don’t give a damn. They seem more interested in becoming friends than date. The moment they realize you have a girlfriend, their attitude changes completely, suddenly women you thought weren’t interested become interested. It’s a logic I’ve never completely understood, but it makes me want to create a shirt for single guys that says, “I’m taken! Come date me!”
In the past few weeks, I can’t help the feeling that I’m living Chris Rock’s joke. I’ve been hit on at bars, on the train and several women have done a complete 180 after failed dating attempts. I was shocked most recently by a series of comments from a woman that made a few things clear: she was interested in me in the past and now that I’m taken, she’s jealous.

I don’t remember when this happened, but I had finished reading The Game and was ready to put what I’ve learned into practice. I’ve been clubbing frequently, and figure it would be a perfect chance to see if what I’ve learned actually works. I often when with friends to Crobar, (now M2 Ultra Lounge). Often, my friends would end up with someone at the end of the night and I would be heading home alone. Tonight I hoped to change this trend.
I was nervous but confident. My uncertainty about my probably for success didn’t hinder my eagerness to try. Determined, I approached women throughout the night with a vigor I hadn’t had in the past. Some advances worked, others did not, but I was never undeterred to try again. In the end, I thought, it was all practice. However, in reality, I wanted to end up with a woman, naked.

The beauty about being in a long term relationship is, most of the concerns that arise while dating tend to fade away. The flaw about being in a long term relationship is, most of the concerns that arise while dating tend to return. You would think I would be completely comfortable with Rule Breaker at this point in our relationship. I think that I am, but every moment I spend with her, I find myself become increasingly comfortable with her. I’m always discovering a new level of comfort and security with her.
At first I needed to see her every day, to ensure things would be okay, but at the moment, I’m past the point. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

I was going to hang out at my bar. The same bar where my adventures in alcohol had begun many years ago. I promised myself only a few drinks, make an attempt to meet someone new, and enjoy myself. Otherwise it was going to be another lonely Saturday night with my regular date, pints of beer.
I struck a conversation with other women who came to the bar. None of them were particularly special or was a person I had a particular interest. Somehow, I was on a roll this night, I’ve collected a number or two, but never understood what I did to grab their attention. I can’t quite remember what I did, but my confidence level was thru the roof. It wasn’t soon after I got my second number that she approached the bar for a drink. A glass of wine, it was red. I noticed her earlier in the evening when she entered with what I assumed was her boyfriend. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Roughly a month ago, I had a sit down dinner with one of my best friends. While talking she mentioned she wasn’t excited about her boyfriend, the way she was when they first met.
“Do you still love him?” I asked.
“Yes!”
“Do you still care for him?”
“Yes!”
“Do you still want to be with him?”
“Yes!”
I suggested the reason her excitement has diminished is because he’s a part of her every day routine. It doesn’t mean there isn’t any excitement, but it’s not a shock that she has a boyfriend. The same happens with friends. When I meet a new friend I’m always excited to hang out with them and invite them to many activities. Overtime the excitement fades into normalcy, they’re a friend and a part of my life.
Three months into my relationship with Rule Breaker, the same feeling has come over me. I’m not excited about having a girlfriend anymore. With each passing day, I’ve become comfortable with the knowledge that I am in a relationship with a wonderful, attractive woman.

Having a relationship doesn’t mean the end of your dating life. Actuality, a relationship means you’re dating the same person exclusively. Throughout the exclusive period, there’s still a lot to learn. The same concerns, pitfalls, and situations exist as when you’re not in an exclusive relationship. I find myself often reacting to many of my insecurities, but having to manage them with one person and not many. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Often, miscommunication between two people occurs when someone isn’t clear about what they are seeking while dating. I’ve noted men should be honest with their dates; including being clear about the type of relationship you seek. At some point in the courting process, both individuals should know what path they are on, if not, they will often be mislead by the other. An example of this can be seen from the recent episode of “Brandy & Ray J: A Family Business.” While serves as the conclusion for The “For The Love Of Ray-J: Season 2” reality dating show, it also serves as an example of how Ray J accidentally mislead Mz. Berry into thinking he was ready for something he wasn’t.
This type of situation happens often between men and women in the dating process. Often one person isn’t clear and accidentally misleads the other person down a path not intended. In the end everyone gets hurt. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]

Clubbing is the fast food version of dating. There often isn’t an opportunity to know a person with great detail; you’re often menu shopping. Most, if not all of the decisions about a person at a club is based on their looks, what they are wearing, and how they are acting. With the club crowds, we man tend to look the same as some styles become similar. There are some that stick out, and for better or worse they are: guys without a shirt, sexual innuendo shirt guy, dude whose ballin’, and guys with a collared shirt. Sounds somewhat boring, doesn’t it?
Clubbing is about looks, some work, some don’t. At the end of the night you’re going to be hot and sweaty anyway, so what ever you’re wearing is going to get messed up by the end of the night. You have to make sure your outfit grabs attention while in the club, and separates you from the boring classifications. [Read The Rest Of This Entry]
