The Growth Perspective with Reggie Hathorn

We are making some progress. We are now at part 3 of the 5 part mini-series. Let's get right to it..

Why do you want to date again?

Think about why you're trying to jump back out there. Is it because you're ready to love again and open your heart to let love in? Or are you trying to fill a void, distract yourself from feeling lonely, or are you desperate.

When you answer the question, also ask yourself is your reason fair to the person you may potentially date.

Be Honest When You Answer

Here's part 2 of 5 of "Are You Ready to Date or Not? 

Think about it: When we're in a relationship we really give up a lot of ourselves. We have a tendency to forget about those things we do as individuals. 

One thing you should consider before moving into the next relationship is, "Have you gotten back to you?" How do you regain your individuality before moving on to the next relationship? 

Come back tomorrow for the next question. We are making some progress.

They are looking for "White Boy Steve"

Reggie keeps it brief and to the point in his new five part mini-series "Am I Ready To Date?" 

Dating is a serious matter. You need to make sure you're sure. So, when you're trying to figure out if you're ready to date again, you should ask yourself - "Have I Let Go?" Have you taken all the steps to break that connection? Does it dissolve on it's own.

Come back tomorrow for the next question. We're going to figure this thing out.

Film Producer and Director, Antoine Fuqua and Nicole Murphy were seen kissing on a photograph in Italy. Antoine is married, but some folks are blaming his wife Lela Rachon's weight gain for him being attracted to another woman. I don't think it's cool that we are blaming Lela for her husband cheating. 

Is it wrong for a woman to decline a man's public wedding proposal? I have mixed feelings about that. 

After watching last night's episode of Queen Sugar, I think "Black Does Crack", but it's good to see Cree Summer again.
