It has been about 15 years since I have officially started dating – otherwise known as hanging out or being single and ready to mingle.

Although my girlfriends and I grumble about the pure agony of dating, I must say that we mostly have more laughs than frowns. It is certainly something that I think every young person should get to experience for themselves prior to settling down with that one special person, if for nothing more than for the sheer hilariousness of it all. That’s why I started this blog.

Here I want people to be able to talk about their "single experience"... the good, the bad and the ugly! I know we will share a few gasps, some chuckles, some boos and cheers but most of all I hope we can uplift each other through this process and just have some plain old fun with it. Anyone can share their two cents, if you're single, married 30 years or are a newlywed.

If you are interested in being a regular contributor on the blog, contact me at singlejustlikethat@gmail.com and I will be glad to add you. Keep in mind, that this isn’t used to insult or hurt anyone, so please by all means use alternate names to protect the innocent! HA

Check out the First Post, "Just Like That...." to understand how I came up with this name!

Happy Posting!

Just Like That....


I’m having Girls Night Out with one of my newly married girlfriends and we are having a good time, chatting it up about life and men. There are a lot of people out partly due to a jazz festival that was going on in town that weekend. After a couple of drinks my girl starts flirting with men "on my behalf" and mentions to them that whoever had an extra ticket should give it to me so I could attend with them. Of course the men in their 30’s acted as if they didn’t even HEAR that comment but no sooner than I could enjoy the next song that the band was playing did Mr "at least 70 years old" come up and hand me a ticket! Now I am 32. And let me add, I am not hating on the fact that this GROWN man was out having a good ol time. Silly me, I took the ticket and exchanged numbers even though I KNEW I did not want to spend my Saturday in the company of this man. Long story short I took a poll of my friends. Each one said to go to the fest…… that is until I sent them THE VOICEMAIL,

And the NEXT VOICEMAIL,

Uh Huh – your mouth is open right?　 I mean did he really call himself "just like that". LMAO. I called and sure enough his voicemail says the same.

Pray For Me! Cause I'm Single...

    I couldn't hear the v-mail but I can only imagine. My single story: I would like to say that I serial date men who are in one way or another, unavailable of sorts. The most recent was unavailable simply because he was mentally, emotionally and financially worn down by his ex(S) with a capital S! Granted this man was single and beautiful, hardworking and even a lil God fearing... Met him at a networking event; sharp dresser, I can take it. So I figured, if nothing else...maybe a little fling would be nice. NOT! After some research I found that he has 6 kids locally and 1 in Texas, a criminal history of at least 2 pages and plethora of other issues including 2 ex-wives. Damn! I've done it again.
