Team Player to Power Couple Material

As a professional sometimes it's hard trying to balance out life and a professional career. What makes it more difficult is if you are involved with someone who doesn't want to be a "Team Player". What I mean when I say "Team Player" is that significant other who is 100% supportive of what you do with no room for insecurities that only cause problems. Where you going? Why you have to go now? Who is that calling you at this time? etc. In this century nobody really just works a 9-5! This generation is full of hustlers who work non-stop toward greatness and then you have those who just can't handle that. They don't see the goal nor can understand the game plan.

When you have a "Team Player" it makes the road to success so much easier. Not having to worry about disappointment when at times work must come first, or when you're glued to your blackberry or iPhone because you have to send out an important email, or when the nature of what you do becomes a judgement call issue. Not everyone is built to be a "GREAT" at something but those who are don't work off emotions. They tend to be more logical. Therefore, the person they need to be with is someone that equally understands that.

That brings us to the "Power Couple". When you have two successful people who understand their role in the relationship and is in control of their emotions then that's when you get to become a "Power Couple". It's like looking at the relationship as a business. And what better person to be in business with than with someone you respect, you support, you admire, and are in love with than your "Team Player".

If you have plans of doing great things and you have someone who is constantly nagging or complaining about what you do. Then they don't accept you, and for that you tell them to KICK ROCKS!

How Do You Get Through Relationship Cycles?

Do all relationships go through cycles? The beginning is the most shallow part of the relationship. Most of the time it's off pure physical attraction. Which leads to you wanting to be around or with that person every second of the day. Then you have what some call the 7 month itch. At this point you two start to get on each others nerves. Some may decide to take a break from the relationship because let's face it, they don't want to break up but they don't have a clue what to do to fix the problem other than put the relationship on a time out.

I believe that relationships flow in cycles. The I Love You Cycle and The I Can't Stand You Right Now Cycle. LOL! This haunts me because many people look at this as maybe this is just not working. He or she just not the one for me. Is that the actual case? When you don't have any other problems or issues in the relationship is it possible that people look for something to bicker about?

What do you do at those times that does not include taking a break?

New Singersroom.com Article: "Is It My Fault?"

Hey Dolls,

Check out my new article for http://www.singersroom.com/ called, "Is It My Fault?". I like to listen to music draw out the central theme or topic and write on it relating to life. This weeks song is by a very talented singer and songwriter by the name of Wynter Gordon who is signed to Atlantic Records. If you read CD credits you will see her name for artist such as Mary J Blige, Danity Kane and J.Lo. She has been featured on songs with Flo Rida and David Guetta as well.

Her song "Created A Monster" really stood out to me because a lot of times women put up with half ass men for all the wrong reasons. Or women enable men to be lazy and not stepping up to the plate when we need them to.

Is Texting Ruining The Dating Process?

Hey Dolls,

In a day in age where technology is basically used for everything you can say its become a huge part of the average Americans life. You don't even have to have real life conversations anymore since they all seem to be so easy as a click of a button. This leads me to my question. Is texting ruining the dating process? And if so, how can we incorporate texting to make it more interesting?

I remember a time where you meet a guy, exchange information and actually get to hear his voice. You know what I mean. When those first couple of phone calls go on to the wee hours in the morning just getting to know each other. Finding out whats that person's favorite color, favorite food, what makes them laugh, what makes them angry, what their passions are, what their goals are. All the things people fail to find out because they lack those conversations. I ask myself does this even happen anymore? With everyone on these social networking sites such as myspace.com, tagged.com, twitter.com, and even facebook now it makes it so impersonal to get to know someone. Half the time people are fabricating who they really are and you never even know. But that's a whole other blog!

Then we have cell phones with the texting, BBM's (blackberry users), AIM's, Google chat, etc. I don't know who started this rumor that women would rather talk through text then actually receiving a phone call but its not true. Women actually love getting phone calls from the guy they're excited that they just met. Unfortunately, its either men have gotten lazy or they just don't know a phone call when getting to know a woman is way better than a text any day. Don't get it twisted, texting and all that other stuff can be fun as well if done correctly. So I'm going to set the record straight on some Do's and Don't when texting a lady!

1. Don't text me in place of the first getting to know each other phone call.
1. Do text me the next day letting me know it was nice to meet me.

2. Don't text me sexual thoughts you had of me after knowing me for only a month. We not that cool!
2. Do text me something sweet that is also respectful that you think will put a smile on my face.

3. Don't text me or call me for that matter after 10pm if that is the only time your fingers know my number. If that is the only time you have available to talk to me you got the wrong one here.
3. Do call or text me nice morning greetings to start my day off.

4. Don't text me if you want to ask me on a date? It makes you look weak. (To me at least)
4. Do call me if you want to ask me on a date.

5. Don't text me to have a serious conversation. Really how serious can it be through text?
5. Do call me if you have something serious to talk about. Its easier to read a person's voice and how they communicate when you can actually hear their voice.

So guys this post is not to scare you about texting it's just to let you know what a lady expects. Now if you are trying to attract little girls then those shenanigans might work but trust a real woman would not expect nothing less!
