Could You Date Someone Who “Used to Be” Gay?
I’m a 23-year-old Black male living in the South. I just finished my first year of grad school and I’ll have completed two graduate degrees by next year. I work and I’m pretty much independent. I’m always reading about the shortage of good Black men, and I think it’s garbage. I consider myself a good [...]
How Long Should a Crush Last? (Love Me/Love Me Not)
I tried to submit my question to you through Formspring but it was too long. So here goes: I’ve liked this guy for over three years so it’s too long to be just a crush. I don’t know how he feels about me because I never asked him mainly because I’m scared of the answer. [...]

We never had sex (his choice, not mine), yet he lit up every time he saw me. He told me that he wasn’t looking for anything serious and I was okay with it, because [...]
Do You Remember the First Person That Broke Your Heart?
We all have one. That one person who destroys your whole world. The person who turns you from a clean canvas to a jumbled mess of color and confusion. I like to call this person “The Crusher.” The reason being is because this is the one who crushes your innocence. They take away the beauty that is a first love.
