Love Sick

It has been awhile since I have posted on this blog…one reason is cause I have been super busy and the other reason was I was love sick for a bit. Being love sick threw me off course and I feel like I lost valuable time.

The update is lame and pretty much the same. I have tried to get over the King of Queens, but it has been so difficult for me. Every time I try to get over him, it seems like he does something to pull me back in (such as gets really jealous when another man talks to me). I have let him know that I am interested, however I have gotten no response. I am a firm believer in the fact that when men are interested they let you know. Right?!?! But then I did what I should not have done, I got a male point of view on my situation. That actually made since. I will spare you all of the details. The question is am I willing to wait for a man that may or may not eventually come and get me?

The most important thing that I learned or remembered is not to allow someone to steal my joy. I allowed myself to get caught up in the confusion and frustration of wondering what the King of Queens thinks/ feels about me. What I know for sure is that I rock! I am an amazing and interesting woman and if the King of Queens can’t see that, another man will. The hardest part about love is learning how to go with the flow. We want things to happen when we want them. What you must remember in the game of love is when you love yourself first, last, and always, you will always come out on top!

99% Love Rating

According to my Facebook horoscope, my love rating for the day is 99%. I'll believe it when I see it.

I think that it's time that I start from scratch when it comes to men. None of them are "manning up”. The only one worth anything is the King of Queens and I am beginning to think it may be a dead end. Not sure what to think.

The good news is that according to a recent study New York City is the place to be if you are single. There is a hot event on the 20th for Black and Latino singles. I may have to suck it up and go. Got to be in it to win it.

Reyes

Tonight as I was looking through my art work and I found a painting that I did for someone who was very special to me, his name was "Reyes". At one point I thought he was my soul mate. We had a connection that could not be denied.

I felt clear that he was the man that I wanted to spend my life with and the person I wanted with me on my life journey. A week after I felt this clarity, we had a huge argument and haven't talked since. It was a stupid fight and I honestly can't even remember what it was about.

My heart was broken, but I was forced to take a real good luck on what I want from my Mr.Right. While wonderful, Reyes was not the one. I never would have guessed that we would not be together, funny how the year has changed for me.Every once in a while I miss him, but what I miss is our friendship.

Sassy and single,

I'm Smitten

I ran into Paul today and he said he was trying to hook up with me for the weekend. I had to let the brother know that I had things going on, so calling me on Friday to hook for the weekend was not okay. I still feel like he is up to something and that he may already have a girlfriend.

As for the King of Queens, every time I see him, my heart skips a beat. It is such an amazing feeling. I can't remember the last time I was this smitten with someone. Maybe it's all in my mind, maybe I am hyping this all up. He is just incredibly charming and so makes me laugh, but did I mention his dremay dimples? I simply couldn't get enough of him today (or any day for that matter..)

Only twenty eight more days left in 2007, this so called year of the soul mate. As Florida Evans said on Good Times, "Damn!, Damn! Damn!" Can I assume my soul mate is trapped under something heavy.

Lusciously single,

Goy Boys and Stilettos!

I had brunch with the fabulous filmmaker Nancy Schwartzman (http://www.nancyschwartzman.com/)yesterday. She has found the love of her life, so she is on the look out for her friends. I put my order in with her, though I find that I don't necessarily have a type. I have a weakness for tall, Latin, and goy boys... but I truly am an equal opportunity lover. Fine is fine!

I have realized that this whole looking for love business is like branding and pr. You have to advertise and let everyone know that you are looking. Oy vey, it is exhausting. But truth be told I would much rather have all my fabulous peeps being on the look for me than doing it myself! How do serial daters do it!?!?!

Speaking of adverting. There is a Singelringen event coming up in Los Angeles. It sounds like a whole lot of fun and supports a great cause. ~Shoshi

The King of Queens

Oh love..

I finally figured out what to call the man who takes my breathe away...The King of Queens. He's a total Queens boy (with the NYC accent, that I LOVE).

Yesterday morning the King and I had a long moment of gazing at each other. It rocks my world when he looks at me the way that he does. I am not sure what is going on in his head. He is a cancer and they are soooo hard to read and they do not open up much ( sigh). Later on in the day someone gave me a birthday card and inside was a photo that she had taken of me and the King. I look tiny next to him since he's a tall guy and I am 5'0" ( and loving it!). I crave my men tall..

The lunch date I was suppose with Paul didn't happen. I saw him and he was acting all coy. He called out to me and EXPECTED me to walk over to him. Not! I so don't have time for bs, he missed his chance. I think what may be up is, he may not be single and he is trying to be sneaky..just the feeling I keep getting when I see him.

A nice guy named Luc gave me his number today. I was taken by surprise. He told me that he wanted to tell me something, but he was to nervous..I may call him, I haven't decided. I have never thought of him in a romantic way...though he smelled fabulous today which totally turned me on. Nothing like a man that smells delicious. Not to mention that he speaks French. Meow!

Lusciously single,

He Takes My Breathe Away

So today was interesting..

There was man who I adored, a week after I thought he HAD to be the one, we had a BIG blowout fight and we haven't spoken in months..today we made contact.It was nice. Our fight was so stupid, I don't even remember what it was about. This is a developing story...

On another note, there is a guy who I am very interested in..a delicious Latin guy who is sooo dreamy. Think: dark hair,long eye lashes, 6'2", charming.. My relationship with him is very Shakespearean..I use to hate him, now I want him. I thought he was just a cocky bastard,.... hot, but a bastard. Underneath it all, he is a mensch! There is something about him that simply does it for me. Today I let him know that he takes my breathe away...not something I normally do, but I felt the urge and I reacted.. while I think he had to know that I was interested, this is the first time I came right out and said so..

Let's see what happens, all in a day's work for a Singelringen chick in the city!

L'chaim to love,
Shoshi

Singelringen

I could not figure out what I get myself for my birthday ( November 22), then inspiration hit: the Singelringen! (www.singeringen.com)

When I first heard of the Singelringen I thought it was a clever idea. We single folks do need a way to shout out that we are on the market..what better way than a ring?!?!

Four days ago, I sauntered myself down to Hus on Christopher Street in NYC to take a look at the rings. A helpful and handsome Swedish guy helped me pick out my ring. If memory serves me correctly the ring comes in 4 sizes, I am a number 1. I didn't love it at first, but decided to get it anyway. As I walked away with my ring, he called out "enjoy your single time". Oh hell to the yes I will!

I don't know if my attitude changed after I bought the ring or what, but after I left the store I had men smiling at me and speaking to me as I walked in the streets. Today I got a lunch date...

I have been telling everyone about my new ring, cause now I LOVE it. I had to get use to the color (I tend to only wear black). When I mentioned to someone that I have had a little bit more male attention since I got the ring, we joked about how I should blog about my new adventures with the Singelringen.

Bada bing, bada boom, it's on...cause I'm Singelringen in the city!
