Who You Calling a Bitch? (A Loss of Gender Roles)
Hey, Sock Heads, I have a double feature for y’all this weekend from the Modern Day Matchmaker, Paul Carrick Brunson. If you recall Paul’s first post for NWSO, “Are You Willing to Invest in Love? (Successful & Lonely),” he referenced a controversial Washington Post article entitled “Successful, Black & Lonely.” The article was inspired by [...]
Was I Being Too Good of a Friend? (Drunk & Hot Girl)
Earlier in the week I spoke about outgrowing the club scene and that trickled into a real-life conversation with a couple of friends the other night. While I shared my own stories about my drunken alter ego Taco Meat it reminded me of this one time my homegirl Tanya got totally twisted at a party [...]
Could You Date Someone That Was Bisexual? (Can’t Trust It)
Dear NWSO, I recently came out to the man I’m in love with. It was dishonest of me to not tell him that I’m bi. We’ve known each other for over a year and what we have is genuine. We’re not in a committed relationship just yet but before we take it there I found [...]

Completely and fully. She saw it everywhere, in everything. Patiently, she tried [...]
Are Your Friends Cute? (They’re Not Stop Lying)
We’ve all been there before: One of your single friends has been on the market for longer than he or she would like and they turn to you for the hook-up. Now not everyone is down for mutual friend hook-up, but for argument’s sake let’s say you are. After running through your mental Rolodex a [...]
Have You Outgrown the Club Scene? (I Don’t Want a Drink)
I saw myself in the club the other night. Well, not me exactly, but more so who I was. To be completely honest I’ve outgrown the club scene. Standing around a bunch of sweaty strangers in the dark, sipping overpriced drinks and listening to loud music just doesn’t interest me anymore. I’d much rather a [...]
Could You Date Someone With HIV? (Risky Business)
It never fails. Every morning before heading to work I get sucked into the latest drama on Maury when I should be headed out the door. Paternity tests have become a staple on the show, which lead up to a man either being the father or not. If you’ve seen one episode, you’ve seen them [...]
