We'll tell you how to stay away from Mr. Wrong so you can make some room for Mr. Right!

signs_he_is_mr_wrong.jpgLet's be honest with ourselves. Sometimes, we just know certain guys aren't right for us, but we ignore the warning signs anyway. We hope that they'll change. Or that they'll grow out of it. Or that somehow, all of our love and devotion will rub off on them. Not so! So we're getting real about all of the Mr. Wrongs out there.

Dan: Single, But Happy

It's not often that you can look back at the last few months of your life, and really get an up close and personal view at what was going through your mind. But such is the beauty of blogging!

It's been an interesting ride for me while blogging for Single and Fierce, one that I was unsure of when I started. Sure, I'm still single at the end of it all, but more importantly, I'm still happy.

People often think that a significant other is going to change the way they feel about themselves. I'll admit it: for some people such is the case.

Nora: Living, Loving, and Learning (?)

I was looking over my Single and Fierce blog recently, and I wondered if my final piece would reflect any kind of growth or lessons learned.

I've talked about several men, none of whom I am still involved with as I write this. The only one I still have an ongoing friendship with is Ron, the old boyfriend, current best friend I met up with in Austin a couple of months ago. As for Dan, Martin, Heath, and Jon, I'm not in contact with any of them. Scratch that; Dan still calls me regularly to try to get me to sit his kids while he takes his new girlfriend out to dinner. Other than that meaningful communication, I don't talk to him much.

When I started blogging here, I thought I would get some insight on how this whole relationship thing really boils down.

Erin: Still Single, Still Fierce

Hello my Single and Fierce Ladies and Gentlemen!

This will be my last post for S&F. Its been a blast and I hope that you've had as much fun reading my stories as I have had telling them.

While no blog could ever explain the full story of any dater - - I did my best to choose relatable anecdotes that I feel are typical of women of my age. Many of us are just starting out on our own, beginning new jobs or still stuck in our old ones. We work all day and yet somehow fit in graduate school at night. We teeter on the brink of full-blown adulthood while still yearning for our college sleep schedule and workload. It's not an easy transition and through it all we are still trying to find our 'someone'.

How do we find them when we are still trying to perfect who we are?

Kelly: The Concept Car

"You're out of my league," he told me, very point-blank and without apology.

I thought that he was giving me a sorry one-liner -- an excuse as to why he didn't want to try anymore. I angrily let him walk out of my life and didn't ask him to rethink his decision.

That was a year ago, and I had forgotten that he'd said it, since I never believed that he'd meant it in the first place. And then, this past weekend, a conversation between myself and an older, wiser male friend, to whom I've looked up to and relied on as counsel for years.

Kendall: How to Stay Fierce When You're Single

There are so many aspects of life which make us happy - - our experiences, our friends, our jobs and our lovers. So, why do we let the disasters of dating interrupt this happiness?

As I skim through self-help books, relationship websites and pre-teen magazines, all claiming to have the secrets of "what men want," I wonder why the focus is always on the men? Models show us what we should be and give us a body image to mimic, catering to the common male's taste; while we on the other hand, find ourselves settling for a man with a "good personality."

The question we fail to ask is: what do we want?

Brian: We We We....All the Way Home

Tue. May 19, 2009 | 5:09 AM

Things with my "Guy" are still progressing at a nice pace.

We see each other at least bi-weekly, talk nearly every day, and he's been introduced to a few of my core friends. We've had our first sleepover, spent lazy Sunday's hanging out, and I'm very much enjoying the time we spend together.

However, I'm starting to get the feeling that taking things slow with him is only going to be able to last for so long.

Lasana: The Perfect Rose Part 2

Mon. May 18, 2009 | 5:16 AM

Last week Lasana discussed the theory of the "perfect rose."

This was a person one could have an intense chemistry with but because of circumstances, the two people could not unite. In her last Single and Fierce blog, Lasana discusses another concept from that theory: the idea that a man would choose not to date a woman because he considers her to be perfect. Thus becoming his "perfect rose."

Would a man sabotage a relationship because he doesn't want to ruin a good thing?

Erin: Meet the Parents

Mon. May 11, 2009 | 5:24 AM

We usually move out to AVOID these situations...

I've always been a rather private person. Growing up with three older
brothers and having a cop for a father wasn't easy. Early on I decided
to keep my romantic life personal and was careful never to divulge any news of a new guy. Just for the sake of it, I kept this tradition until my mid-twenties. I was used to it, for it had become my way of life.

That is, until a parade of misunderstandings revealed it all.
