If you read Monday’s blog then it was definitely woe
is me… all in my feelings.
If I’m being honest (which it seems I can't stop being honest) I do want to be married but
being a mother is just as important to me.
And since I’m not getting any younger I asked my single friend what I thought is one of the most important things I should know as I navigate dating in my late 30’s.

How soon should
she wait to tell you that she is looking for a husband and she is ready to have
kids?
Most men would be run off if it
came up right away. I personally don't have an issue with it. All because you
express that you want it doesn't mean it's going to happen or you're expecting
it to happen between us. Makes for conversation, as someone in my 30's I expect
the talk. If I was early to mid-20's, I
would suggest waiting a couple of months before bringing that topic up. Find
out what that man really is looking for in you.
Me: So, let me see
if I got this right…if I stick with someone my age I can bring it up but if I
decide to get me a young stud I should wait. Either way I probably shouldn’t
say it on the first date or tell him I have a blog LOL!
Since, I love buying date clothes
I asked how important is my attire on a first date.
Are their expectations of her outfit?
Not really. Just all depends on what we're doing. You don't need a prom
dress on for a first date but you also don't need to be dressed as if we're
about to hit the club. Keep it simple but stylish.
Me: I think all of
my date clothes are simple but stylish…I’m winning!
Does the outfit give you an indication of her
personality?
It can. If you're wearing Baby
Phat or House of Dereon, I can only assume that you haven't been exposed to a
lot *shrugs*. If I tell you're we're
going to the park or doing something outside, dress for
the occasion.
Me: No Baby Phat
or House of Dereon in my closet so I’m good. But I have owned both LOL!
I am finding
out that I may have this dating thing down…well when I get a date. Cue violin
music!
I hope you all
are finding this interesting…I know I am.
There is still more to come. I asked a lot of questions. So, stay with me!
