Enjoying Your Life

So no doubt I am a little jaded when it comes to Valentine's day and believe me I was just as cynical about  all those happy Valentine's day texts as everyone else.  However, I certainly was not bored!  Just because you are single on Valentine's day doesn't mean you can't spend it with the person you love the most  YOU!!!  So I went out a with a group of wonderful ladies where we treated ourselves to luxurious mani-pedis and then top notch dining.  If you have never tried then Anthony Vince's nail spa you are truly denying yourself of the finer things in life.  This is not a nail shop but rather an elegant comforting pampering experience!  The one we went to is located in Greenbrier.  Then we went to the Kyoto Japanese Grill also located in Greenbrier.  If you love Japanese Hibachi and sushi you should really check this place out! Not only was the chef entertaining but he also grilled us up a great meal!  I hope your Valentine's day was as great as mine but if it wasn't save these places for next year!!  Get up on it Socialites.

The First Date

Goodness knows I have been on some bad dates, perhaps the worst was the date where my date showed up drunk! However, the worst dates often are those that NEVER happen.  Why don't they happen you may ask?  Because the guy can't come up with something to do besides coming over his house and watching a movie?!  Now I know this could and probably is just code for him trying to get some easy play.  But I often wonder to myself does that even actually work?  I mean what kind of first date is that?  Anyway I want an explanation of why a man would think that coming over his house and watching a movie is an accpetable date?  Please explain.....

Rule #1 Act Like You Have SOME Social Skills

I am sitting in the house paralyzed with fear at the thought of driving in the snow...not because I can't drive in the snow (I'm from upstate NY), but rather because I hear people literally unable to back their cars out in this little bit of snow (folks 'round here can't drive in snow) and I needs my car so its probably best to let it melt a little more before I drive, but I digress......I'm bored and probably going a little stir crazy-perhaps I will go for a jog later-I gotta write about this story my friend just told me lets call her "Lisa":

Lisa: Girl I got all dressed up to go on a date with this guy (that she had never met) I put on some heels, make up, a cute little shirt, and he showed up in some basketball shorts, sneakers and a dingy t-shirt.

Me: What??@#

What is really going on in the dating scene these days? I mean really? And I'm not talking about the whole male-female thereare3timesmoreblackwomenthanblackmenavailable phenomenon. I'm talking about lets act like you have SOME social skills. Why in the world would anyone show up to a date dressed like he just got finished playing ball with his boys? The sad thing is I have had this happen to me as well. I have gone on a date and put the effort into looking good and the guy has showed up in a flannel shirt and wrinkled jeans he looked like he had just finished moving. Then later on wanted to know why things didn't work out. Now I by no means as saying that ALL men do this but the fact that even two would do this is disturbing. So I write all this to say Fellas when you are going on a date with a lady-particularly one you have never met put some effort in your appearance because whether or not it seems shallow IT MATTERS.

There just aren't enough men

A friend sent this to me in my email and I thought it would be a good way to jump start the single life portion of my blog. Personally when I see things like this I am not sure what the goal of this discussion is? I mean does it really help single women in the relationship aspect of their lives? Cause to me it's just a little depressing....I'd rather see things like this
