Hey...we dont seem to ever post about Love and Relationships anymore.

That either means, everybody is doing good in this area or its just not the focus right now.

Well here are my random goofy check in questions;

Are you happy?
Any growth in how you relate to other people?
Ever been on a blind date?
Do you believe in courtship? If so, what are some examples...what was your best courtship experience?
How is your ex?
How is your next?
Any song that describes what your situation is right now?
Any good love experiences?

***just trying to get some posts going on love

well, my ex is being uncommonly nice and helpful. he hasn't started an argument in months, he told me he still has a lot of love for me ( ), AND he came in my house 2 times to open the door on my heater for me b/c i can't.

i think that's it because his current wife kicked him out and he's not with his new son as much as he would want. so either:
a) he took a step back and re-evaluated both relationships and realized the impact that he had on each (b/c both wives putting you out is saying something.) or,
b) his current wife is putting him through hell right now and he realizes that i was really civil during our split.

either way, i'm enjoying the peace and praying that he learns from these experiences.

my next is a HUGE question mark...

Am I happy? Yeah I'm good. Finally coming out of the post baby rut. Amazing how long that lasted but and I are enjoying each other so much that we hate to be apart. Yeah, sick ain't it?
Growth in how I relate? Hmmm....love me or hate me. Shit.
Blind date? Yeah. My X.
Courtships? Hells yeah. Me and my still court. Best courtship experience? Hmmm....I have so many. Aside from the honeymoon I guess one of my favorites had to be when picked me up from work on a really nice evening weather wise. He'd gotten sushi from my favorite spot and we rolled up to Penns Landing and sat a blanket out and just talked. Just so happened some dude was out there tapping on his Jimbay and they had some fireworks going across the way.
My X is still unhappy with himself and I'm ecstatic to no longer be a part of his pity party. I haven't talked to that ham in ages yet he still attempts to send correspondence via my homegirl. Her and I gain much amusement at how little he has matured. What a waste of nice teeth.
My next? Wtf? My next child? Cause hell there's only one for me. Next child= waiting somewhere in heaven for to get out of diapers and begin attending school.
What song best describes.....? House of Love-by Kindred
Good love experiences? Hmmm...the best ones are private. Don't get dirty that's not what I meant. I just mean my mate and I have a connection and we've created memories that are ours alone.
Now I must go and put back all the stuff Nia pulled out while she was exploring her dresser drawers and searching under the beds for toys.

Are you happy? Yes. Living in the moment
Any growth in how you relate to other people? Yes. Made a few changes, still some more to go. Stretching a little being a little more selfless.
Ever been on a blind date? Nah
Do you believe in courtship? If so, what are some examples...what was your best courtship experience? Yes - courtship is great...seems to be fading though


Whisper - its time to make another challenge - courtship!

Are you happy? Yerp.

Any growth in how you relate to other people? I dunno. I haven't really been in a position to relate to other people. I been away from family and friends much more than I'd like lately. And strangers. Well, they strangers. I try to be nice. Sometimes it works better than others.

Ever been on a blind date? Naw dawg. That wasn't for me.

Do you believe in courtship? If so, what are some examples...what was your best courtship experience? My makes fun of me because like the elders, I use the word "courting" in regular conversation when I talk about people dating. I take the concept of courtship seriously. It's a great word - much better than dating, but it has a more involved connotation - it really gets into the reality that two becoming one is an ongoing process. I am still courting and being courted. When he and I have a difference of opinion and we work that out peaceably and as patiently as we can muster - that's courting. But first came all the blushing. Learning how to love (this is a real verb) each other. Make each other smile. Some of my best courtship experiences have been when we were cooking together, navigating the limited space in a kitchen, tasting each other's food. Sounds simple, but it was meaningful to me. Those are the kinds of things that make me look forward to more courtship.

How is your ex? Sheeed, I dunno.

How is your next? You mean my present and only? Jus' fine.

Any song that describes what your situation is right now? Can't think of one.

Any good love experiences? Just a current all around happy feeling, like Maze and Frankie Beverly be singing about.
