Gym Boos

I am back like I left something! With a new year....comes a new post!

Like everyone who is thicker than a snicker....with a lil extra love handle to go around, I decided to join a gym and get fit! (Let's pray I keep it up). One thing I know will keep me motivated is all the EYE CANDY in the GYM. Some of these boos are incredibly ripped with pecks and abs poking out of their under armor shirt....HONEY......I LIVE for ABS! Get this...some of the boos even had cute faces. It's like a little slice of heaven. Now, I have to build up to the gym boos because when I am on the elliptical machine I am sweating like a slave from Mississippi. But once I "get it right get it tight", I will be getting me a GYM BOO! HOLLA!!!!!!!

Booless is back in 2012 SUCKAS......LETS GOOOOOOOOO!

Holiday Party Boos

Tis the season for you to wine and dine with all of the employees you hate and see them in all of their drunken glory courtesy of the company party. I love these holiday parties because everyone seems to lose their minds with two simple words "open bar". Enjoy the Free Debauchery that will take place but make sure you don't have on your beer googles and hook up with the weird guy from the mail room. In my profession (teaching) they're only like 2 guys there and they're not even cute so no worries for me. This is just a PSA for all you holiday party people!

Do you have a funny holiday party story? Share it here!!!

Waiter Boos

Have you ever been in a restaurant and the waiter is flirting with you double time? Not just flirting to get that good tip AND you have positively identified him/her as being straight. I mean you feel like they are really coming on to you. This has happened to all of us at some point. Don't you think it should be automatic for the waiter boo to pay for your meal....or at least hook you up with their discount. I mean if you think I'm cute and want to holla....hook a sista up. Especially in DC when the price of the meal cost the same as boosted $60 Northface coat off the street. I mean bread in this town is going to hit your wallet for $12.

Have you had success getting a free meal or meeting a waiter boo? Dish the dirt!

House Party Boos

This past Saturday, I threw my very first Grown-Up house party. It was aptly titled Breakfast at Tiffany's :-) The party was just like those old school ones your mama and them use to throw. People were dancing, playing cards and games with tons of food and drinks to go around. It was sooooo much fun and a cool way to see all of my friends from all aspects of my life mingle.

Then I got to thinking that this can be the first of many events and an opportunity to meet boos through friends of friends. The dating scene is looking a bit skimp, why not have my friends bring their hot, single, straight man friends to my parties so we can mix and mingle. This could be a very low-key way to meet some new hot guys...I mean new people.

What do you think is this a good idea or is dating your friends "friends" not a good idea and leads to unwanted weird tension?

I Like Them Boys Up Top From The BK.......

I recently went on my first trip to NY and man oh man did those up north boys have SWAG. They were also much nicer than I expected and CLEAN. I may have to revise my earlier statements professing my undenying love for "John Henry's" (country boys). I am starting to feel these dudes from up top. I need to stop being region biased.

What do you think are the best guys to date...North of the Mason Dixon Line or South of It?????

Mingle Mondays: Marvins on USt

A few of my lovely friends/sorors have decided to take over DC this summer and hit all the spots with something we can Mingle Mondays and Fly Girl Wednesdays. Last Monday we ventured to Marvins on Ust. It was a cute little bistro type spot with a rooftop space. It was pretty cool a mixed crowd about 2.5 cute guys were in attendance but they say normally the place is jumping but the rain might have kept the cuties away.

One funny thing happened.....THE INFAMOUS HAND IN THE POCKET WHILE I AM TALKING TO YOU trick. So these 3 O.G.s looking like they were in their late 30s early 40s come to talk to us and they all have their hands in their pockets talking bout "Did yall order some chip and dale dancers?" LOL....first off dude ur married, second ur old and third we don't wanna see know chip and dales we want to see black stallion and white chocolate at the male review with muscles....BEAT IT! That was the comedy for the night.

Marvin's a dope place to check out if you want a little music and nice expensive drinks but the vibe was good especially on Monday night but I would probably only post up on rooftop. That way u can clock all the boos coming in! For more info check out marvindc.com

Back Like I Left Something....EARLY!

First of all I want to apologize to my loyal 12 followers and all my peeps who check out my blog lol! I haven't been up here in a minute but I have been going thru a great change in my life.

I was allowing this situation to overtake my life and then I woke up on day and realize why are you around and I am still technically SINGLE with a blog boolessin dc...so I cut it off and started living it up in the city. I was also out here Grindin, I got a new job with more $$ doing what I love and I am much happier. So now I am back and stronger than ever...everybody got that one slip up so thats what it was. I gots to keep it real wit yall.

So expect a weekly post about something exciting or funny as I continue on this booless in dc journey! Thanks for your patience and keep reading...tell your friends! How will I ever get a BOOK deal if you don't!!!

Work Boos

I haven't had a work boo in years since college actually. You know having some cute eye candy that you kind of flirt with at work....a work boo. I've had a few in my college days and actually miss having some eye candy to look at. There are ZERO boos at my job.....ZERO. I don't know if it is representative of my profession (limited males) or if its just a DC thing.

As a rule most people don't date on the job but what about flirting? Do you work flirt? Have you ever dated someone on your job....on the low low? Let a sista know oh and if there are any cuties down where you work :-)

Should Relationships be 50/50?

I was randomly listening to some Teddy Pendergrass "When Somebody Loves You Back" and it came to the part at the end where he says "not 70/30 not 60/40 talking bout a 50/50 love". It really got me thinking.

Are relationships nowadays really 50/50 and should they be? Let me know what you think!!!

Spring Fling is Here

It's finally hot in the district. The cherry blossoms are here, my allergies are going haywire and the sandals are out.Which means more boos are going to prowling the streets and I will be right there meet them.

Will this be the year of spring fling and summer love in the DMV or will this be a repeat of a broken record that plays the melancholy melodies of the booless? STAY TUNED!!!

Natural Booness

So since the process hair got me nowhere....I have decided to embark on the journey of going all nat-u-ral! This was not just because of boos in fact this was more of empowering, liberating type of change I needed to make for myself. I'm going all in with sisterlocks and I'm really excited. What will be interesting is if I will get more play with em......hmmmm?? DC is the land of dreds and natural styles so we shall see. I will keep you posted!

Sincerely,

Sista Natural

Happy Valentine's Day Booless In DC Family!

Happy Valentine's Day Beautiful People. I know you were probably expecting me to rant and rave about a pending depression centered on not having a boo. Maybe you think I will write about how Valentine's Day is a conspiracy to make single people feel bad. The picture may have mislead you to believe that this post would be headed in that direction...but it was funny I couldn't resist lol. Yet, even though, I am a proud member of the Single Awareness Movement I will not TODAY because I'm actually feeling really GREAT. I am so thankful to have so much love from my Family and Friends that there is no need for me to crack open the Carmel Cone Ice Cream, watch Waiting To Exhale and listen to Ring The Alarm. You and I both know that is a lethal combination.

So I am taking life and love as it comes and enjoying the day!

No Worries....I will be back later this week with my Booless In DC Shenanigans but until then...Celebrate the LOVE you have and more importantly You!!!!

Where the Snow Boos @ ?

Nothing makes me happier than a snowstorm in DC. It's a time filled with massive closings which allow you to enjoy the comforts of your home. The one thing that would top it off is having a boo to be snowed in with.....well maybe...he would probably get on my nerves by day two but it's a nice thought. Well maybe by next snowfall I will have me a snow bunny boo that wants nothing more than to romance me in the snow...let me stop right there gotta keep this PG lol.

What are your snowed in plans???? Do you want to be booed up in the snow or left alone to have some peace?

Operation DC BOO Exposure 2010

So my good friend Kate and I will embark on a new plan in 2010. In order for me to give you an accurate picture of the shenanigans of the DC brethren and leave no area of this city unturned. We shall hit a new spot each month...different venues, parties, networking, sporting events whatever and bring you these encounters right here for you to read and laugh about. Get ready for new laughs and who knows I may meet someone halfway decent....we shall see....stay tuned!

Sincerely,

Booless In DC Guru

Mr. Bougie

I knew the day was coming when I would encounter him....As you know DC is a melting pot of characters and although I have been focusing on one extreme there is the other. So my girl and I go hit a live music spot with all the cool, hip, trendy, neo soul but with processed hair black folks on historic U St. There was one of the well dressed clean cut brother amongst the other trendy dressed guys who was looking my way so I said Hey. Then he gave me the stank face look like "how dare I speak". So I gave the look right back....Lol! FYI Mr. Bougie.....Ur Not That Hot...your outfit was nice but not nice enough to be RUDE!

How do you feel about bougie brothers/sisters?

Club First Date....Where they do that at?

So I meet a lil cutie at the club...well that was the first mistake. He was 6ft and better, cold black like I like em with a body like I like em. So we have minimal conversation for about a week and not to my surprise we had nothing in common or any chemistry. Then he was like we should go out on a date. I have never been one to turn down free. So he rescheduled one time...red flag #2, he proceeds to ask me to go out with him at 11pm on U St. I was like what....I don't do club first dates homey. How are we suppose to talk or get to know each other if I can't even here you over the music? Oh I know because that was not your intention...I am not street puntang...lol! I have never been asked that in all my years of dating...I'm too old for that I like to do other things.

I haven't talked to him since was I wrong? Would you go on a club first date...why or why not?

Hey Can I TEXT You....(Texting vs. Calling)

I have noticed that when meeting guys nowadays when they ask for your phone number it is not to have an actual phone conversation but to TEXT you. One of the perks of texting a person you have just met are.....hmmm I will wait....that everything will be misinterpreted or you can put in a minimal amount of effort. I met this bouncer at a club over the weekend mind you I don't remember when the numbers where exchanged * see birthday boo post* and he text me the other day his life story.

Bouncer: Hey how are you?

Me: Fine and U?

Bouncer: Well whats your stats?

Me: Huh?

Bouncer: I'm 26, Divorced, One Son, play basketball, work all day and work the part time at the club, I like to work out

Me: Thanks for your life story but what happened to saying your doing fine

Bouncer: I hope you are not worried about my ex and the fact that I am divorced because we get a long well and have no problems so there is nothing to be worried about

I proceeded to no response mode. Now let's analyze this. He could have just been trying to be straight up with me from the beginning or was nervous about having that convo. Texting can make people BOLD because they can avoid having to think on their feet or that immediate reaction. Which is not the type of person for me. I don't know maybe I am a little old school but this is not a text conversation and a bit much. On top of that he clearly was not following the conversation.

This is a bit of an extreme case but in my conversations with people the word is out that many guys are opting to text rather than call especially with such things as

-I'm going to be late or I'm not coming home tonight

-Hey, how are you - that way they don't have to hear us ramble because we are not going to text everything that happened that day

and so on and so on.......How do you feel about texting vs. calling?

Country Boys Can't Dress

Yall know I love a country boy and I still do but one thing I've learned about them on my trip to Charlotte, NC is that they can't dress. The style was stuck in the 1990s. I'm talking sagging baggy jeans, long white tees...lol. Well clothes don't make the man but they also say you can't change people. So I would still date a guy if he had all the right qualities but not quite as stylish as I would like....Would You?

Calling All Birthday Boos on November 28th Buy Gifts!

Is it shallow to try to have a boyfriend or at least several strong candidates so that you can maximize the number of presents you will receive for your birthday? Normally I am on the self righteous tip when it comes to this type of stuff but during my birthday month all bets are off. Its all part of a system I've had since my college days. Summer time I usually play the field get a lay of the land which has been slightly more difficult here in the nations capital but then try to lock in at least one to two strong contenders by mid October so I can make my birthday push for presents. Also during Operation Birthday Presents I tend entertain calls from boos past as well as scooping out boos present and future. Those of you that know me know that I run a full campaign in regards to my birthday and always end up with tons of parties and presents.....(on that note any of you reading this please feel free to shoot me an email if you need an address or who to write a check out to for my fabulous b-day on Nov. 28th). I will admit this is very tricky ground to tread you have to be skillful at this especially if you want the present but not the boo. This goes double when dealing with an ex or dude from boos past. Well coming from a birthday pro who specializes in getting gifts the most important rule dubbed Rule Numero Uno is to not feel guilty if they want to buy you something and do not feel like you owe them something just because they do. Anyone who is my friend is required by terms of our friendship to acknowledge my bday and to give me a gift of some sort so it comes with the territory with me. By setting these expectations early you avoid all that and come of with more gifts which is the name of the game. Be aware some will try to use it as means to get back in and that is totally up to you. I say try your luck buddy but thank you for that box from Tiffany's because if I'm not dating you now it's probably for good reason. I will say all of that to say this November I am shallow and will not apologize for it the other 11 months I am not so there.....buy me gifts on NOVEMBER 28th!

Will you take gifts from a person who you know is feeling you but you are not interested?

Next Level....Too Soon!!

So I met this guy (we will call him Speed Dater) he seemed alright so we exchanged numbers. At this point everything was completely normal as it always is. Anyway we had literally one phone conversation where he went on and on and on about himself. You know the kind of conversation where you can't get a word in and for every one word you say that person goes on a two minute tangent. I'm pretty sure you all know what I was thinking.....FLAG ON THE PLAY! Well after that one way conversation he proceeds to text me the next day. Here is how the convo unfolds:

Speed Dater: I want to take things to the "Next Level"

Me: Clearly I don't even know you and you don't know me

Speed Dater: But we talked yesterday and I'm liking you

Me: You talked yesterday and don't you think that is a bit fast..have you seen that show "How to Catch a Predator" I don't know you.

Speed Dater: I am so OFFENDED by what you said. I can't believe you would think that. I am not like that....and on and on about how he was never on that show

Let's stop there I really didn't mean he was a pedophile well who knows but my point was that I don't know him to be talking about "next level" plus I thought it was funny. Clearly he doesn't get me sense of humor....probably because he doesn't know me. Needless to say I don't talk to him or he doesn't talk to me whatever the case maybe it doesn't bother me at all...lol.

Have you ever met someone who tried the "Next Level" rap to fast? What is the most outlandish thing you have said to get someone away from you?
