While sitting in the sauna at the gym, I had a conversation with two ladies about being single. As I listen to them, their complaints were the same as I have heard across the board. There is not "too many good man left". I chuckled and mentioned that Essence has name the DC Area one of the "Single Men" Hot Spots. Their reaction was priceless, smhs and eyes widening which lead to "I don't believe it". I agreed with no hesitation, after thinking about all the guys I have dated. The conversation became deeper about what we want! The usual, single black man with a legal job, ambition, respectful, open-minded, honest, intelligent, speaks well, faithful and for perks versatility in style. For some, this may seem to be a lot but this is standard.
Well I have been single for quite a while and currently enjoying the dating scene. I have met guys everywhere from the store to the club. I have even let my girlfriends play matchmaker and set-up blind dates. I have tried everything and I mean everything!!! Some relationships were good and some weren't but it was a true pleasure to share his company. I just keep it moving with one less tear. I don't beg for you to come back, unless I think you're worth it. LOL!
Being Single in the DMV is quite hilarious!!! The things that I have encountered will entertain you, from embarrassing moments to "good night" kisses. Overall, I love my city! I believe he is out there and the ones I am encountering its just preparing me for Prince Charming.
Yes, dating in the DMV is definitely interesting to say the least. I agree with the Essence article, there are A LOT of single black men in this area.
ReplyDeleteThe only problem is there are also a lot of single Black women and we're all vying for the same type of man, handsome, educated, with a good job. These type of men know they're in high-demand and aren't afraid to tell you they know it. It is up to us to expand our horizons and be open to finding love outside of our usual.
