Okay, it's interesting how everyone in my age group is talking about singleness, dating, marriage, etc., a whole lot lately. It seems like I can't have a conversation with anyone without it coming up. It's kind of cool to know I'm not the only one thinking about it.
My thoughts--well, I know that I'm definitely happy as a single now, but one day, maybe in a year or so, I wouldn't mind dating some ...mighty man. I know that I never ever ever want my heart broken again, so the next relationship has to be a mature one. I also think that the man I marry has serious vision being birthed on the inside of him for the black community and urban youth. How do I know that? It just seems like it would have to be, since that it what is so strong on the inside of me.
I also know that any man I date has to read the following: (1) THe Five Love Languages, Gary Chapman(2) Myles Munroe, Purpose and Power of a Woman, and (3) Dr. Creflo A. DOllar, THe Successful Family. Why, cuz we are going to do this thing right! Right, Dana?
Those requirements alone probably just eliminated over 95% of black men. : ) (jk) Would I date outside my race? Probably , but right now I certainly prefer not to.

Anywho, as for right now, I wouldn't mind having a guy friend to talk with, study with, hoop with, and all those fun things that friends do. Question to the readers: do you think women with degrees are still considered to be intimidating?
