Should Women Ask Men Out? (Fear of Rejection)
I was reading my homegirl Belle’s blog yesterday and she did a post about some guy that approached one of her readers on the train… Actually, the guy didn’t really approach the woman in the general sense of kicking game, basically he just scribbled down his number along with an illegible message filled with typos [...]
The Heart of a Fool (4 Chambers)
PRELUDE: Last Wednesday I tried something a little different with the story of “The Girl and the Sand Castle.” Since that went over really well and I feel like expressing myself differently, I figured I’d switch things up once again. Let me know if y’all can relate to this one. This is the story of [...]
Could You Date Me…And My Blog?
A few nights ago I met up with my friend Natalie for dinner. I hadn’t been out the bat cave for a minute so it was good choppin’ it up over wine and some amazing grilled chicken. As always, my blog came up. While I have no shame in what I write here or I [...]

How much privacy is appropriate in a relationship? By “relationship” I mean at least living together under [...]
The Girl and the Sand Castle
PRELUDE: I feel like trying something a little bit different today. Rather than approach this topic straight up, I wanted to be more creative so bare with me, use your imagination and let’s see if you can decipher the message in this story. Once upon a time there was this beautiful young girl who [...]
How Long Should a Woman Wait For a Ring?
Dear NWSO, I’m currently in a seven-year relationship with the father of my two kids. We have lived under the same roof for the last five years; we have a 4-year-old daughter and a 3-month old son. My issue is why hasn’t this man asked me to marry him yet? When I ask what the [...]
