Flattery comes in Shades too!

This is the spot to let it all go!

I recall many times when I have gone too far and pissed a man off to the point that he couldn't speak to me for days. Ladies, we all know how scary that place could be. We are often afraid that we have ruined the relationship. Now that I am wiser, I see things a bit differently. The many times that I have angered a man, I now see that the flattery in it. There's no way he could get that frustrated with me if he didn't have deep emotions for me. You see ladies, the fellas don't understand that the reason we push so hard in those moments is because we want to truly know......how deep is his love? I wonder how many of you are bold enough to admit to this as well?

Who is Out of Bounds?

Remember the Hood date I went on last weekend? I was encouraged to take the high road again and inform the fella that I won't be moving forward with any communication. Much to my disliking at the time, I knew it was the right thing to do. You see, I did not want to have him calling me over and over again and me ignore him. That type of rejection hurts and I am not into "intentionally" hurting men. So, I stayed a little beneath the radar with only giving him a piece of my reasoning for not moving forward. I explained that that day went really, really bad. He agreed that it had. I then offered him my truth. I do not know how to recover from such an experience and because of that YOU'RE FIRED!!! No, I didn't say he was fired but I did tell him he was fired. He said....now wait a minute here. I TOOOOLD you, that I was leaving work and coming to you. I said yes and you said you would be changing clothes and wrong on my part, I assumed you were going to present your self to me in slacks and shoes when meeting me for the first time. You see ladies, you must understand that this man wear's coldblooded suits to church all of the time and has Ostrich and Crocodile shoes....so that wasn't the problem. He continued, second of ALL, he said, I was going to get off the highway and tell you where I was so you could come meet me. And third of ALL, I didn't know we were going to a restaurant. I said hold on....I haven't even complained about meeting off the highway or the restaurant. My complaint is you not even presenting your self properly. Quite frankly, that is something I am not willing to teach. He said....NOW WAIT A MINUTE ANGIE.....YOOOU.....are out of bounds now! I said no, actually I am well within my bounds. He interrupts, can I just say something? CAN I SAY SOMETHING? I softly added, well there is really no need because I am just not interested at this point. He said WELL NOW, I AM CERTAINLY GLAD TO HEAR THAT.....GOODBYE.....and hung up on me. 

I laughed for the next three days!

Let Me Hold $20

After two weeks of acquainting myself with a guy I met online, he finally decided that he needed to lay eyes on me. He has already, 45 days in advance, invited me to the airline company's Christmas Party and also the cruise for next July. He felt so relieved to have found me after searching for a very long time for the "needle in the haystack". Sheeesh, I was excited and relieved for him! He asked if it would be alright to come see me on my side of town after he left work a few days from then. Of course it was alright! I was eager because he made me blush often. He informed me that he would change out of his uniform, jump in his car and call me when he exited the highway so that I could meet him where he is. When he called, I ask his permission if we could meet at a small restaurant a few lights away. He said SURE! I carefully prepared myself with a beautiful dress and gently placed my luxurious lashes on my eyelids, popped the lips with some gloss and headed out to meet him. As I entered the "white table clothed" environment, I noticed him in the waiting area lounging in the perfect arrangement of HOOD! No....an actual "hoodie" with jeans and sneakers!!! My excitement tanked like never before. Number 1 turn off! Number 2 turn off was him asking to see my beautiful smile...."come on, let me see yo' tee-fess". OH HELL TO THE NAW!!! I can't take it.....I said, before I can smile again, I am going to need you to pronounce it correctly. Please say..... "teeth". Number 3 turn off is when the check came, what do you mean am I going to pay or you? Number 4 turn off, don't place your debit card on the tab when simultaneously you have to go online to check your balance to cover $64. Me: Uh, be right back....going to the ladies room. Number 5 turn off, after discovering where the ATM is and having to make a withdrawal but returning with a favor request. Do you have $20? That's all I need is $20 and I will pay you back. I was so HEATED, the darts of fire shooting from my eyes made his eyebrows combust instantly! I had to have many mini-convos with self to take the high road and not pull off as I retrieved my debit card from my vehicle. Minutes later, the heat from my body made the deodorant drip from my underarms and as we exited the restaurant. Why is he trying to have light conversation with me....I am speechless! I made it to the car. Trying to keep my cool. STOP!!! Is Ashton Kutcher somewhere around this camp!!!!! This "mofo" just asked me for a kiss! Let me get the hell out of here! I am about to run his ass over!
