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!

The SPARK... How Will I Know?

I need some advice ladies. I have met and dated several really nice men. If you were to go down a "list" of sorts you could check the following:
  • Charismatic
  • Tall
  • Handsome
  • God Fearing
  • Confident
  • Nice Smile and Teeth :)
  • Career he enjoys
  • Car
  • Home
  • No Children
  • Intelligent
  • Good Attitude
  • Funny
  • Likeable
  • Ready to Commit

and really, I could go on and on. Most times, I will have had a good time, and then, just like that still leave the date feeling "NOTHING". Let me say, that these gentlemen do typically have an interest in me and let me know that.

What is this about? How many dates do you think it takes to know if something is there? Do I need to approach this differently? What are some of your experiences?

HELP!!!!!
