Good Morning.

The man and I exchanged text messages for the first time last Wednesday. That was kind of nice.

But yeah, uh..I had a bluetooth system installed in my car just for the purpose of when I talk to people during my drive to and from work…mostly from.

I have a friend who is notorious for talking to men in the car beside her/us or waiting to cross the street when we get to stop light. She has gotten a few dates as a result.

Morn’in All,

Something that helped my dating life when I was in a dry spell was to be open for unseen opportunities…That means regardless of where you are there is potential for romance…Example: One weekend during my single days I was out at the mall. I stopped by the food court, got some food and I’m walking to an empty table. A young lady I passed was eating alone and she was cute. I stopped only briefly and asked if what she was eating was tasty or not. I told her I was considering ordering something similar but wasn’t sure….We started talking and I didn’t eat alone in the mall that day..Turned it into an On-the-spot date….LOLOLOL

GAMan Imma be honest with you. I likes my together time to much to be in a long distance relationship.

And then again the only way I could ever see my husband taking a job in another state would be for its GREAT financial benefits. And if it’s that great then we would be able to afford to just sell our house and move there. I mean, anything that great could carry us a few months while I found a new job. Right?

Back in the day people did it because you had to go where the work was, but that’s not really the case now. You can pretty much find what you want right here through the proper networking.

Nah, couldn’t do it.

I missed you all this week, was out of the office. Anyway, I saw a woman yesterday in the rear view mirror putting on makeup. I thought to myself that a good opening line for stopping in traffic would be to show her the roll down the window signal and tell her that she didn’t need any makeup at all. She was beautiful, and really didn’t need it. Unfortunately for me, she turned left at an intersection. The experience reminded me to take advantage of those opportunities whenever and wherever they occur, however, the whole sticker, website idea is something that I would not participate in.

Good morning and Happy Friday Everyone!

I cannot imagine using traffic time to flirt for the purpose of meeting someone…perhaps flirting just for fun. How large are the numbers on the bumper sticker? My first thought is some idiot will run into the back of me from excitement, trying to write down the ID number…and the other person might not be equally interested.

Evening traffic jams are a good time to catch up on phone calls…follow-up calls to clients or prospects… chat with girlfriends…maybe think about what to wear on a date…but to strategize on how improve my dating life? I’ll pass. Let go..let flow. What will be will be.

Have a Productive, Powerful, Prosperous and Positive Day!!!

I can think of two incidents where men decided to be creative in flirting with me…

One I am sitting at a traffic light, applying lip balm. This man pulls up next to me and says, “Can I have some?” I quickly turn, ready to snap his head off. But, I was practicing congeniality at the time. So I smiled and said, “Do you know Jesus?” My first thought. Like I said, I was trying to be nice. He says with a big smile,“Yes! I know Jesus!” I am thinking, and He didn’t tell you not to say that to me? Fortunately the light changed and I just drove off.

Two I left work, on my way the gym, eating a banana, listening to music, getting pumped for my aerobics class, minding my own business. Again, I am sitting at a light. I turn to my right and this fool is looking towards me with his mouth wide open! It was sunny and I had on shades. So he could not see how hard I rolled my eyes at him…

Note to self: Do not stop at traffic lights.

Question For BLOG

Okay the infamous ex from my 6 yr relationship has been contacting me more often lately expressing feelings of missing Slim in his life blah blah blah. Now he’s basically saying how he wants us to stop running and try things again. I of course grilled him asking all kinds of questions pertaining to what type of compromises or sacrifices was he willing to give up to make it work. Somehow we got on his history of inappropriate contact with females. Long story short I asked him if he was telling me that I will have to accept that he may try to holla at a chick when he’s out with his single friends but that he would never take it any further than that initial interaction. But the fact that he’d be ‘coming home to me’ should be my reassurance PLEASE TELL ME IF I’M JUST BEING UNREALISTIC OR WRONG FOR THINKING…MAN YOU BETTA GO TO H3LL! (please know that trust was one of our main issues in our relationship)

Hey Slim

My personal belief is that if you don’t have trust, you don’t have anything. In my life it has been “one strike and you’re out” and I will continue to do this. Being alone is better than being with someone who is going to make you miserable by being unfaithful. Even if someone really does reform, which seldom happens, there will always be the bad memories hanging over…and always a trust issue.

I had a rich man tell me one time that “once in a lifetime opportunities seem to come along about once a week”. He was right. There will always be someone else, and it is better, IMHO, to take a chance on someone new I can kick ot the curb any time I want, than to deal with a known cheater.

That is my feeling anyway.

Slim1 here’s what I think. Sounds like you still may not trust him and his blatant admission of continuing to “holla at” other women doesn’t make it any better. He should respect your wishes not to do this or at least not be so blunt about it. IMO a successful relationship has to have a vast amount of respect in it. Respect for each others concerns and wishes. And if you can’t respect my wishes on something that could possibly interrupt our relationship then I must not be the one for you.

Tater that’s what i’m thinking, it’ll be the same old childish things. If you claim you want another chance,and know that your past actions have compromised the trust in the relationship, wouldn’t said person be willing to cut out or sacrifice those things that would lead to more untrust?? I just don’t get his logic at all. I wasted 6 years already on hoping for the day he’d grow up. I don’t have nor am willing to waste another 6 on that BS logic.

February 23, 2007 12:33 PM | Link to this

SlimOne I agree with Raqi. Is he missing you or just tired of being alone? Obviously he knows how deep your feelings were invested in the relationship and is hoping something is still there. In my humble opinion, any man who truly cares for a woman will make her happy by any means necessary. What matters to you matters to him. If he is not capable of honoring the least of your requests, (something that will ease your mind and benefit him in return) he is not capable of giving anything else. Trust your instinct. This is one time I would recommend remembering the pain of the past; not to depress yourself, but to avoid repeating it.

Jewel what you said reminded me of a past blogger whose SO had an issue with his myspace page and he ended up taking it down to see if that relieved her uneasiness because he cared about her feelings. I’m not getting that from him. So looks like i will continue life on doing what works for SLIM. I’m glad I moved and never let him know where (he always brings that up too)

I’m not sure if he’s lonely or really missing me. He claims he doesn’t want to give anyone else his heart, he wants me. Well he isn’t going to get it like that.

Good Afternoon All

Flirting in traffic……… been there done that had a ball doing it too. The topic brings back an old memory on me and my girl riding out on a sunny day in the “D”. We were heading down to Belle Isle and while zooming down the Lodge X-way, we somehow attracted the attention of a few guys in another car, the signaled for us to pull over, and we considered the idea, so while zooming toward the next exit to get off to see what they were working with, we attracted another car with a few dudes in it. When we exited the X-way, both cars exited behind us. Wouldn’t you know the 2nd car waited until we had exchanged #’s with the guys in the 1st car and then we exchanged #’s with them too.

Laney You have caused me to remember many events from my past that I had not recollected in many years. If by some strange twist of fate, I revert back to my 20’s dating mode, you may be held accountable (read: I’ll tell y’all about some of it :-))

If you really care for him you would be okay with him doing a lil flirting…I’m bullshyttin

Dude sounds like a loser, give him credit for the honesty, but he could not possibly expect you to go for that. If the cat was bold enough to come right out and tell you he’d holla at other women when he is out, best believe he’ll jump in between her thighs if she let him.Don’t set yourself up for the okey doke I always refrain from downing another man, but he downed himself with those statements.

Like many flirting situations, when a man tries to pick up a woman in traffic, he doesn’t know her from a hole in the wall so it’s only based on her looks. That is whack, because the lady in the NEXT car may have more in common with him but he’ll never know, like, if she’s fat or a “buttahead” or something, since he won’t give her a chance. There’ve been times when I’ve been in the car with a female friend & some guy tries to flirt with her. That’s rude because it makes the OTHER girl (i.e. me) feel dissed. Usually the ones who flirt with me on the road are a bunch of illegals or some redneck in a pick-up. No thanks

@Slim

I don’t want to sound like I’m insenstitive or anything, or put anything to simplistically, but… don’t do it. *Just tell him next time you speak with him that you are not interested in that type of relationship. While I don’t espouse myself to be a “Dr. Laura” type, I do hold credence to what my mother tells me all the time.. “less is more”. Don’t feel compelled to go on and on and on about the mechanics of his interest in a pseudo-relationship. IMHO, I believe it’s audaucious of him to even think you’d be okay with that.

SlimOne Have you read “The Real Lives of Strong Black Women”? The writer, Toby Thompkins, makes an interesting statement about the beautiful black woman’s view on relationships. He says it is not that we blindly trust men, but that we believe in relationships. I agree. Oftentimes it is that belief and commitment that wills us to stay and forgive, over and over and over. Unfortunately, it is that same belief and commitment that jerks use as an excuse to abuse our trust.

He reached over and ran his hand up my skirt and started rubbing my thigh. This older gentleman was in a pickup to the right of us and he yelled out his window Boy take your hands off that girl. The man had to be about 70 and here we are nearly 40 and being referred to as a boy and girl. It’s was pretty funny then.

Well, as far as checking out potential dating partners while driving….don’t we have enough distractions on the road??? People talking on their cell phones are already the number one hazard to the innocent who choose to avoid the urge to focus on the conversation instead of the traffic flow. But having to read, remember, and write down a number on a bumper of a hot chick riding down the road? This seems absolutely obsurd and I think that instead of turning the streets and highways to a meat market we should all spend a little more time being curtious to our fellow commuters and PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD!

Every time I think about traffic flirting it reminds me of something my potnah said years ago. He said “Dushawn, when you see a fine female at the light you got one minute to say something to her because you will probably never see her again.” He said he’ll roll down his window and ask them “what kind of gas you got in your car …BP, Citgo, or Shell?”. His point was you got to say something. Anything is better than watching her drive off and thinking to yourself, Dayum she was cute…I should’ve spoken to her.

Hey, flirting in traffic was actually how I met my ex-boyfriend. I’ve run into quite a few good men using the downtime. Its the same thing as meeting in a bar except you’re not under the influence.

@slim…I don’t know you but I have been in your shoes before. Its hard because you want to give him the benefit of a doubt, but at the same time you know how he is. He is your ex for a reason. The red flags are coming up. Why in the world would you put yourself back in that bad situation? If you don’t trust your man, then you don’t have a good foundation for a healthy relationship. It sounds like he knows you’re a good thing, but he can’t pull himself together to be with one woman. Good men are out there, don’t settle and miss out on a blessing.

Granted I won’t be eyeballing the bumper sticker doing 70 but when you are doing 5 mph for over an hour what else are you going to do besides listen to music and check the scenery.

For all those questioning the validity of talking to someone on the freeway it’s no worse than talking to someone at work, in the grocery store, bar, internet dating, etc.

Raqi as his parent I’d be at that joint er’dayum’day for lunch.

Teacher: Mr. MusingLee you can’t eat lunch here. It’s children only.

Musing: Look, I’m eating lunch here one way or the other.

Teacher: Well, I don’t know what to say.

Musing: You ain’t got to say ishh…Just pass me the braised lamb chops w/ baby potatoes.

abc “Now, yall don’t think that hitting on chicks at stoplights is a little, uh, desperate?” I disagree. You never now how or where you will meet Ms. Right. Granted, trying to pull a female while in traffic definitely reduces the probability of success, but I have come up like that several times. The key is you have to say or do something charming and unique to grab their interest. And you have to do it quick. In Regards to your “you can’t really even see that much” comment, you have to learn the 30 second car view evaluation technique. Look at their hands on steering wheel to check if she has her nails done. You can easily see her face and skin. Next and most importantly, check out her shoulders. If they’re wider than yours…keep it moving.

Musing Don’t get me started on my memories of the Wheeler High School cafeteria! Boiled hot dogs in that murky water, half-cooked french fries, octagonal pizza (and that was the good day!), so-called Salisbury Steak…I don’t know who Salisbury is, but that ain’t steak! The mostly soy-hamburgers…the spaghetti made with the sauce that had to be “stretched” w/ water b/c they didn’t get enough of those big azz cans of tomato paste. And the vegetables that are swimming in some nasty looking liquid…their own pot-liquor, perhaps?

The best thing that ever came out of the WHS cafeteria were the “milk” shakes. (Notice the quotes!). I’m not sure what they put in these things, but there was only a splash of milk, and a lot whatever the shake mix was. They were an extra $.15, and you could only get 1! I guess they were on milk shake rations in Cobb County.

Feliz Friday y’all

I’d pass on the bumper sticker pick up idea.

But I do use my ride home everyday to catch up on phone calls. Sometimes on the morning commute, but most days, I’m running too late to be bothered with the cell phone.

I’ve started paying more attention to the drivers around me as traffic volume has increased on my “short cut” to and from work. Obviously it’s no longer a secret HA! But if I make eye contact with someone, I’ll generally smile — as someone mentioned earlier — I’m aiming to more pleasant in all my interactions. We’ll see where smiling and flirting in traffic leads….

Once, while stuck in traffic on Roswell Road, I had my music up and I was jammin’ to Roger and Zapp and it was warm so my windows were down and the sunroof was open. I was in my own world and I heard this guy yell at me that I was “too young” to know about “Doo Wa Diddy”. I just grinned and replied I was clearly “too young” for him. We both laughed it off and continued to inch down Roswell Road.

But I find that because I have personalized plates, sometimes people use that as way to interact. The jury is still out on if that was a good idea LOL

Frequent Lurker I’m at the two weeks and two days mark. I tested 20/30 after five days, and I know it’s better now. But the blurriness is getting on my last nerve!! I’m glad that I had it done, but I still have the weird feeling of not being able to “turn it off” like I could when I took out my contacts. It’s a lot to get used to psychologically.

You think it would take 6 months?

Frequent I don’t have halos. Halos really depend on how large your pupils are (if your pupils are larger than the treatment area, you get the halo when light shines into the untreated area). With the larger areas of correction they can do these days, it cuts the risk of halos. Hope everything works out for you.
