THE ONLY SHOT I'M SHOOTING IS THIS HENNY

"Why don't you send the first text?"
"Oh you think he`s cute? Go talk to him then."
"He's probably just nervous, you should say something!"

Like, girl/ man, what the hell? I'm nervous too!

Call me old fashioned if you like, but I believe that men were born with the ability to pursue. Therefore, I shall remain at the bar with my legs crossed and allow that man to do just that. Plus, when I get nervous, my fingers shake uncontrollably. So, there's that.

Now, before ya'll get mad and start to compose your little shady tweets and statuses about me, just hear me out. I get it. Some women are much more outgoing than me when it comes to that. Meaning, if you see something you like/ want, you go and get it (ya'll probably be in the stores stealing too... I'm just kidding, calm down). Truth be told, I envy your confidence and ability to have fun with it and walk away if it doesn't work out. I, on the other hand can not take a shot to the ego like that. My pride won't allow it. Picture the guy that insults you when you're not interested. That's probably me. So, I stay quiet.

Me: "Hey, I think you're incredibly handsome and I'd love to get to know you."
Him: "I'm married, sweetheart."
Me: "Whatever. Your hair line uneven as hell anyway. Ugly a$$." 

In the past, I've had my share of bad experiences of going after the guy not knowing if he was interested. I'm about to get a little vulnerable. Ya'll ready? Alright peep this:

The year was 2002. I was the new kid at school. I befriended a group a girls who I confided in and told them that I was crushing on a certain guy. They convinced me to write him a note expressing my feelings. I did. Because I was the new kid at school, he had no idea who I was. One day, after the girls gave him the note, they brought him towards my locker where he finally saw who I was and said that I was fat. From that day on, I vowed that shooting my shot would be a "NO" from me.

Here's my opinion put simply. From my experience, if he's interested and ready, he will be moved to step to you. If not, he probably got 5 kids anyway and you ain't missing nothing.

The moral of the story is, do what ya'll do. If homeboy opens the door, I'll walk through it. But don't expect me to hop in your DM's. I'm shy. Especially if you're well groomed and look like you got good credit.

The Good Girl

"Wait, am I going to get in trouble if I do that?" I`ve always been that "by the book" type of person. If I didn`t get permission to do it, it`s not happening. Yep, you guessed it, my friends hated me in high school.  I was the one with the curfew at midnight. No, I couldn`t sneak inside of the house because my mother and father were always sitting on the couch in the front room waiting for me to get in. And if I wasn`t home by midnight, I had a five minute grace period before they were blowing up my little flip phone. "Where are you? Do you know what time it is?" "Yes mom, I`m down the street." We were really just getting off of the highway but it was no red lights and my friend had a heavy foot.  *Shout Out to Laster and Sophia Douglas.* I was always the "good girl" and that was NOT a compliment. Being the good girl meant that you were stuck up, weird, boring, funny acting, etc. I`m actually all of those things when I`m hun...

I'M HELLA BORED: CHANGE OF HABITS

"Ugh, I'm bored." Hey ya'll! Welcome to 2019! I'm so glad that you decided to bring me with you instead of leaving me in the old year with all the people you hate. I know it's the top of the year and most of us are already a few days into our new diet plans. We cold. We mean. And we hungry. But, if you want to see change, you have to make a change, right? Photo: My Mama Change is the one thing that is consistent in our lives. Nothing ever stays the same. For the month of January, I'll be talking to you all about CHANGE . Which can mean a lot of different things for a lot of people. For me, this first week of 2019, it meant boredom . Before Christmas, I promised myself that after I finished my last blog post, I was taking some time to myself. Now, if ya'll follow me on social media, you know I go hard with the self promotion. I'm in ya'll face every. damn. day. And it ain't nothing you can do to stop me because I feel like I ha...

KIDS ON KIDS ON KIDS

"You don't have kids yet? That`s rare." I`m 26, never been married, engaged, or even close, why is that so rare? In my opinion, I`m just getting started with my own life. Okay maybe not JUST getting started but I`m still in my prime. Like, I`m working on myself. Look, I just don't have the money for any extra people, okay? Ive reached the age where I`m starting to see many of my peers in my news feeds getting married and having children. Meanwhile, I'm over here stalking this sexy dude on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Myspace. (Don't act like y'all don't remember Myspace.) Marriage is a beautiful thing. I enjoy looking at everyone`s wedding photos and thinking about how I`m going to steal some of those ideas for myself one day. I`m also looking at the groomsmen to see if any of them are sexy. Don't be surprised if I show up to your reception uninvited trying to catch the bouquet. As long as dude doesn't have any kids. Listen, don't g...
