Dear Gay Best Friend, I have been dating since I was 16 years old and have never been single. I’m 28 now. As one relationship ends I find myself in a new one, sometimes within days. I have never been married and have no kids. I have had two 5 years relationship back to back. […]
Dear Gay Best Friend, I am a 46-year old divorced male and single parent of 3 children. I have a very good female friend who has been my friend for about 13 years. I have seen her through one failed long-term relationship with a good male friend of mine, and approximately 6 months ago she […]
I’ve never had a problem ushering folks out of my life who somehow managed to upset the daily balance. In fact at times it’s a lot easier for me to say good bye and later with that, than it is for me to put the pieces back together. When trust is broken, the path to […]
Dear Gay Best Friend, Please give me your honest opinion! I started seeing a good friend over two years ago. We love each other. He is my soul mate, which is something you only find once if you’re lucky. I believe fate made him tell me how he felt, which was such a relief because […]
When it comes to sisterhood, it’s safe to say the loyalty factor plays a bit more of a bigger role in our bond.

I, like most people, am the kind of person who uses the internet to prepare me for all kinds of things that I don’t know very well. If I’m trying out a new restaurant after work, I will definitely be searching for their menu and happy hours online. If we are about to have a […]

Stop introducing dudes to your children as their new potential father. Why does it always have to be, “Lil Stevie, this is Mommy’s friiieeeennnd. We are only friiieeeennnds.

Last week I heard three heartbreaking stories from single mothers. Story #1 – Young Lady “When we were 17 my boyfriend told me that he wanted me to have his baby. He said that he loved me and we would always be together. My boyfriend was kind of rough around the edges and he said […]
New millennium dating is something special. Our generation has managed to devise a brand new dating strategy that eliminates a strong desire for formal procedures, heart to heart conversation and the need to go above and beyond in any relationship. We no longer need to collect phone numbers or talks for hours on the phone. […]
It’s 2011!!! Women are making more money, are more independent and some believe that they don’t need a man as much as their mother or grandmother did.

A pastor friend of mine once declared during a singles’ bible study that a man knows within three weeks of meeting a woman if he wants to marry her.
