Recession Love: Let’s Shack Up

I always considered moving in with someone to be monumental. For starters I don’t really see myself living with a boo before marriage, possibly during an engagement but no sooner than that. Sure, couples move in together all the time; many of them with no intentions on getting wed. Still, I can’t downplay shacking up [...]

Will Your Man Take Your Last Name?

Have you heard? Jay-z may be taking Beyonce’s last name. Something about since her father has no boys the name won’t be passed on. I say to that…Papa Knowles has a paternity suit pending so before Jay files for a new last name, he should see the result of that dna test. There might be [...]

Recession Love: It’s Your First Christmas Together, Should You Buy a Gift?

I don’t know about you but this holiday season is kicking my ass. There’s two weeks left until X-mas and I haven’t bought a single present. Hell, I’m not even partaking in my office’s Secret Santa. What I look like spending $30 on a co-worker I don’t really care for. Every time I hear a [...]

“Love on a 5″

I have a new addiction: VH1’s Sex Rehab. I stumbled across it one  day but couldn’t turn. I had given up on VH1, what with all of their “…Love…” reality shows and limited my reality TV intake to Man vs Food, Bizarre Food, Anthony Bourdain, Say Yes to the Dress and Bridezillas.
However, there was something [...]

A Very Christian Wedding

I’m a sinner. I make no qualms about that, but I’m not as big a sinner as you’d think I am based on my writings.

I didn’t smoke weed until this year and I’m almost 30.

I only drink socially and have a cap of 2 drinks. If I have anymore than that my friends will come [...]

The 5 Steps to Marriage

During a very heated debate with Manny, we found ourselves trying to our damnedest to pin down the order in which people meet, date and marry.
After a couple drinks, some animated arguments, agreeing to disagree, here is what we came up with:

Step #1 – Dating
You’ve announced yourself as being in the market and proceed [...]

Married People Shouldn’t Give Dating Advice

People who are married kill me when they try to give dating advice.
.
It’s like graduating high school ten years ago and coming back to your alma mater to tell the kids what it was like when you roamed those halls. All the teachers you had either died or retired. They renovated the classrooms. You’re favorite [...]

Baby, It’s Time To Get New Furniture

Don’t ask me why but I always find myself in situations where most people would flip out. I’m at a friend’s house on the couch, enjoying their cable when it became clear to me that their roommate was getting it “IN” in the other room. Being the person that I am, I simply turned [...]

How to Handle a Jump Off (VIDEO)

I know I said I’m retiring the term “Jump Off” and I don’t even like Seinfeld but I must give respect where it’s due. In the scene below, Jerry and Elaine stumble across some porn and that leads to a very open yet adult conversation about them having no strings attached sex…

Some of out there, [...]

You’re Single Until You’re Married

Folks ask me all the time, “SG what are you going to do when you start dating someone. Will you still be ’says the single girl’”?
My response: “Yes!”
“But you won’t be single” they say.
“Yes the hell I will be. You are single until you are married.”
Very few people understand what I mean by this. I’ve [...]
