Let Them Go!

letthemgo1

First I want to apologize for the long hiatus. By the look of things my wisdom has been needed. I see so many of y’all making stupid ass dating mistakes. You could have just gone to my archives to get a lesson or two. Get it together people! Well I’m back and I promise to be more consistent. You’re welcome.

I am not gonna lie to you folks, I don’t think I have ever been in love. I have loved in a caring type of way but never the romantic love. And I am still not even sure what that is. Most of you don’t know what it is either (infatuated fuckers). Anyway, a few of my ex girlfriends (actually 2) have meant a lot to me. This means I actually give a fuck about their lives. Like if they are stuck somewhere in my convenient radius then I will come scoop em up with no problem. I’ll even accept their collect calls if they get locked up (hopefully someone smuggles them a cell phone so we can text because I hate talking on the phone). But most importantly I would never play with their emotions. So having sex with them is not an option for me. While I can just view the sex as only an orgasm, they may look deeper into it and see potentially rekindling a relationship. Even if she says she only wants sex, DO NOT DO IT! Unless you think the sex is worth losing someone you care about or them hating your guts, PLEASE let them go.

Maturity comes with experience. I sound like I have it all figured out now but years ago it was all about the poon. I didn’t give a damn about anyone’s feelings, I wanted them cakes! I have definitely told a woman I loved her to get some ass. I am NOT proud of this at all. That one I actually truly regret. The woman forgave me people so please stop your judging IMMEDIATELY. Another regret was using an ex that meant so much to me for sex. We had been broken up for a couple months and I had no intention of giving up my newly acquired freedom anytime soon. BUT I still wanted that ass. I knew she still loved me and I used that. I took advantage of her. One day she finally realized my only objective was my own selfish satisfaction and I became dirt to her. She could not understand how a man that once meant everything to her could completely disregard her feelings and emotions for a fucking nut. She was hurt, disappointed, and hated me. I felt like shit. It took a few years but we eventually became good friends again. I’ve made sure I never did that to another woman that I truly cared about.

It is not easy. We are men and we are driven by the vag. I had a buddy that was dating this young lady for a while. She wanted a relationship while he was fine with just sex and occasionally hanging out. The problem was they were friends and he really did care about her. My boy just wasn’t ready for commitment at the time. He was not willing to give her what she wanted so he needed to shut it down and stop wasting her time. He had a hard time doing this. He was comfortable with her, the sex was great, and like I said, he really did like her. Now he did tell her he wasn’t ready for a committed relationship, BUT he knew she had a weakness for him. She was in a stage of hope. While in that stage he could throw a rock at her and she’ll get excited. She is looking for any sign to hold on to that hope. I told him if he cared about her he must let her go, completely. He eventually let her go but there was a lot of damage done.

So basically don’t be a selfish asshole to people that you love. Go masturbate or get you a fuck buddy (check out ‘fuck buddy rules’ in the archives). That orgasm is not worth hurting someone you care about, believe me. If she is constantly throwing it at you, this is not the time to get your Jerry Rice on. Fellas, think Neo in the Matrix and dodge all that. Loyal and dependable individuals are hard to come by, so cherish them. On another note, I’m back in this thang heaux! So leave comments and share. If you have topics you want me to touch on leave those in the comments as well.

First Date Guidelines- The Dos and Do NOTS

Image

I actually really enjoy first dates. Maybe it’s just because I’m a people person and I like to socialize.  It could also be that first dates are a challenge and I appreciate a good one. The challenge with first dates (from a guy’s perspective) is to break down her wall and get this young lady to feel comfortable with me.  I want her to enjoy my company and start opening up.  I am not expecting her to reveal too much but opening up a tad will help us get to know each other.Hopefully, that will lead to some good convo and a really good date.  It is very rare that I have a bad first date, primarily, due to the fact that I follow these First Date Guidelines:

BE ON TIME

Image

These should not be spontaneous plans.  You should know where and when this date is going to take place days ahead so you should not be late.  I live in LA so I understand things do happen and traffic can be unpredictable at times.  When you think you may be tardy, give a call to that person and let them know.  Don’t be a douche and leave them hanging, wondering if you forgot about the date.

GUYS: PICK HER UP UNLESS SHE WANTS TO MEET THERE

Image

REALLY??? You really just asked this woman if she could come swoop you up for the first date?! If the date even happens it is because she is probably bored out of her mind and hasn’t been on a date in months.  This is just a bad move. Ladies, this is the first date so you should probably meet him there.  (He might have some stalker in him.)

NO MOVIES!

Image

Be creative. Google some shit. But NEVER and I mean NEVER go to the movies for a first date.  I’m talking to the fellas right here because YOU should be making the first date plans.  Going to the movies is just stupid.  You can’t talk in the movies. You are just sitting there in silence. Smart move buddy. You really got to know her well!

NO TEXTING

Image

Show some respect for your date and keep your phone in your pocket/purse. A couple hours without your phone will not kill you.  Cancel the damn date if you need to be on your phone that bad. If your date cannot stay off their phone then you have the right to end the date immediately.  I would love for you to just walk off without saying a word. That would be dope! Show them the same respect they are showing you, which is none.

SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR EXES

Image

YO! Chill on the ex talk.  Nobody wants to hear about your ex. I have even made this mistake but it is clear to me now that this is a no no.  Seriously, no one wants to hear how in love you were with him or her or how crazy he or she was.  You think I want to take a chance dating you after hearing how crazy that ex was?! No thank you. I am not trying to get stalked!

HAVE SOME MANNERS AND CLASS

Image

I hope by now you know how to eat properly. Chewing with your mouth open is not ok and do NOT eat like you are in a competition. You are not a 5 year old child.  If you get your food first, please wait until your date gets theirs before you start going in.  Remember, servers are in control of the food that you are about to consume, so please don’t be a dickhead to them.  Now you and your date have to worry about saliva being in your food because YOU don’t know how to talk to people. You’re a winner.  I’ll throw this in there as well: DO NOT GET DRUNK! Know your limits. You might want to just keep it at a two drink max folks.

DUTCH???

Image

Bro, pick up the check! I promise you will not be getting a second date if she is paying for her meal. You certainly don’t deserve one with your dumb ass.  And leave a tip! Women have some damn standards. There is no way in hell you should be splitting the bill on the first date.

HANDS TO YOURSELF

Image

It is the first date so stop trying to get all touchy feely.  Your aggression is making her uncomfortable and she is thinking about pulling out the pepper spray.  You think what you’re doing is getting you closer to taking her down but it’s not.  While you have that creepy smile on your face, she is really considering making a run for it. Ladies, if you are the one being aggressive then you are probably gonna end up a booty call. Thanks for the vagina.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

Image

I know this is the first date and you want to get to know the person but this is not a job interview.  All these back to back questions are unnecessary.  Let the conversation flow. Don’t talk too much, but don’t be boring. If your date is not helping at all with their one word answers then this is going to be a long night.  You may want to find a way to end the night early because they probably suck. And not in a good way.

HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO SAY SHE’S HOT?

Image

Too many compliments get annoying because after a while they just don’t seem genuine.  It is not even normal to compliment someone that much, you cornball. You said it once and that is plenty. Chillax, buddy!

BE YOU!

Image

Lastly, be yourself.  Do not put up a front on the first date because you will not be able keep it up for long. It is really not fair to that other person because they are getting to know someone who will not even be around.  The real you will eventually show up and they are going to be very confused.  Your first date should not be at Crustaceans if you are on a Sizzler’s budget. There are plenty of nice restaurants in your price range, just do a little research. I mean what good is being fake doing you anyway? You’re making your job harder than it has to be. Don’t waste your time or theirs. Figure out earlier if you guys are really compatible. If not, better to weed someone out earlier than later.
