Ladies, I know how you all feel. I haven't been on a date in three years!! Most of my good friends have been dating their beaus for at least one year, two years and some for three years! I'm one of the worst people to ask for relationship advice but I do have common sense. Sometimes theirs falters when a man is involved. One the same token, I'm not ready to get married either. I'm much too young and I want to complete graduate school first. Currently, I'm an undergraduate and some of my classmates (who are also 21) are already married and are having houses built for when they graduate!
I read some startling news awhile back. A black woman has a 40% of getting married in her lifetime, due to various factors. Personal preferences, lack of eligible black men comparable to black women (we outnumber men 3 to 1) and black women are less likely to date men of another race, which also lowers our chances of marriage in general.
