Let me introduce myself

Hey everybody. My name is Angela and I a so new to this, but bare with me. I live in Chicago and I have decided to start dating again after 4 whole years. Whew!!! I'm not sure what to expect, because the "lazy" dating is scary. You know what I mean right? You give out your number, make a few calls or send text (I absolutely can't stand this) and then someone wants to come over your house. LOL... For what??? Yes I cook, but I saw For Colored Girls (yes I know). Okay, so maybe it's not that bad, but you do have to be careful out here. Can't just trust everybody. They have to earn it.


A little background on why I gave up on dating. I had been in relationships that I saw going no where. Everyone around me was in happy relationships and getting married and I felt like I had to also. This was totally wrong. That was only part of the reason, but nevertheless, I did stop and I actually liked it. I found myself enjoying my freedom. Now you would think that I would have found out what it was that I really wanted within a couple of months, but it took a little longer than that. Talking to women and men in relationships and those who were looking for a relationship, opened my eyes. I don't think I was ready to work for the benefits that came along with being in a relationship, but I surely wanted to reap the rewards. All that has changed and now I am a different person. Well... not so much different as I am content with myself and know what I want. Now I'm ready for the world. Problem is, there is no one out here that is also willing and ready. This is the reason for this journey. So why don't you follow me, as I go about the city of Chicago, making myself available to date.

Oh yeah... I went natural around a year and a half ago, so I know that this will also prove to be just a little difficult. I mean, natural hair is on the rise and we have all seen people rocking out sassy styles and going about their day. But we all know that there is still some opposition in our own community. So wish me luck as I go out this weekend to enjoy myself. Enjoy the rest of your week. Ciao!!!
