  How about we create a resume to give to new dating partners that lists our best skills, our experience at the "job", our training, education and background? How many times have you been "written up" or fired? Why would anyone want to "hire" you for their mate? What are your "salary" requirements? If you had a relationship resume, what would be on it?
  
  The call-in number is 347-327-9215. Join me to discuss the qualifications you THINK you have for the job as boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife.

  Why Black Women Should Consider Dating Interracially

  Ms. HeartBeat

  Date / Time: 11/22/2009 2:00 AM UTC

  Category: Romance

  
  

  
  Millions of White men are interested in dating Black women, and outnumber the Black women available for interracial dating several to one. A 10/2/95 article which appeared in Jet Magazine proclaimed that 57% of single White men are open to interracial dating, compared to 51% of single Black women. Almost half the Black female population over the age of 18 in the U.S. is single. We'll explore the nuances of love between races, what Black women need that they aren't getting from Black men, and the fears and stereotypes which may be preventing Black women from opening their arms and hearts to White men. Does love really have a color?
  Cheryl Y. Judice, Ph.D., is a sociologist and professor of African American Studies at Northwestern University and the author of the only scholarly treatise on black females with White men entitled "Interracial Relationships - Black Women and White Men."
  Karyn Folan is the author of a soon to be released book on the same subject entitled "Don't Bring Home A White Boy and other Notions that Keep Black Women From Dating Out." Karyn feels that "Black women aren't doing anything 'wrong' as far as dating goes... but the math is against us if we're only looking at black men. We outnumber them in some major cities at a ratio which some experts say could be as high as 10:1. That means we have two choices: look beyond race for romantic partners or remain single."
  Cicely J. is the author of the soon to be released book Black Men vs. White Men – The Black Woman's Choice. Cicely feels that more and more Black women are falling for their Mr. Right in the form of blonde hair and blue eyes because Darnell, DaQuan, and Tyrone are not equipped to meet her halfway.
  Join me and my guests as we discuss the pros, cons and controversy associated with interracial relationships between White men and Black women!

  Texting Rules and Guidelines for Texting When Dating

  Why is there so much hesitation when it comes to picking up the phone? Has texting become the newest addition to the list of "if you can’t beat 'em, join 'em?" I believe the growing preference for texting has a lot to do with its impersonal nature. It's much easier to launch a new relationship by exchanging texts than it is to talk. It's also very easy to say and do things over a screen that one would never have the nerve to do face to face (or say ear to ear). That would make things easier I suppose, but it also creates new problems.
  
  A large part of communication is non-verbal. When texting, the other party cannot receive those fine nuances of communication such as tone of voice, held back giggles, excited breathing, or body language that demonstrates anxiety, happiness or growing irritation.
  
  Texting it seems, is here to stay, but there really should be some rules in place to guide our use of this new communication medium. So, after listening to dozens of complaints from friends, coworkers, and family about their relationships and texting, I came up with 10 Texting Guidelines and Texting Etiquette Rules For Dating Singles.
