Is He Confused About Me, Or Simply Not Interested?
Dear HEET:
I’m a single mother and I’ve been dating a guy for about 3-1/2 years. We started off as just friends (no strings attached) and then it transpired into something more. I’m 28 and he’s a little younger, 22. We’ve gone through some very emotional times (ex. unexpected pregnancy/abortion, breaking of ties and getting back together). During one of our “off moments” he started dating someone else. He’s dating her now, but is still telling me that he loves me and keeps calling me and coming to see me. Obviously, we wouldn’t have lasted this long if he didn’t care for me. I think he’s confused as to what he wants to do. I’ve watched him break down in tears while saying that he doesn’t want to hurt me. I don’t know why we are NOT together.

Why Do Men Take & Take When They Know That You Are Not The Woman He Wants To Be With?
Dear HEET:
How and where do men learn how to treat women? Do they treat them ‘as they want to be treated,’ or once a man starts dating a woman are habits then developed (without question, doubt, or hesitation)? Also, is it inevitable to have tug of war challenges in most relationships simply because he does not want to see eye to eye?
We’re Learning that "What Chili Wants" Isn’t Necessarily What She Needs!
Submitted by Jennifer Tardy on May 25, 2010 - 1:00amI’m in the midst of a much needed vacation this week! This gives me so much time to catch up on things that I’ve been missing, like my reading, writing/blogging, and of course—Reality TV. So, as I am perusing through channels yesterday I stumble across a marathon of VH1’s What Chili Wants. If you’ve never seen this reality show, allow me get you up to speed. NYC bred, former columnist/blogger now turned Matchmaker, Tionna Smalls works to find TLC group member and superstar, Chili, the man of her dreams in the reality TV show, What Chili Wants.

“J.M. Tardy touched on topics and issues that seemed to be talking to me…and I kicked myself when she mentioned, the “cigarette man”…you know, the one that is CLEARLY no good for you?! The author’s perspective was fresh and on point. I recommend this book to women of ALL ages.”
