A rare, but very classy move that shows respect. — I’ve been doing a series of reels on social media on Things I Adore about Men. I talk about all the things that impress me about men and how much I appreciate the tremendous gift they are to my world — and life in general. Last night, I could barely…

We have two basic needs — and this one is super easy to meet. — Ending the call We had been on the phone for an hour, getting to know each other. We had met socially a few weeks back. I was very intrigued by this man. And I could tell from his energy that he was having a great time talking with me. I was single. I…

The first thing I saw on my feed was a post in a group I follow — a public accusation of misconduct the night before. Oh my. Let me put my glasses on. The accuser…
