Could this be the ramifications of having a speech therapist from Michigan??? It reminded me of the heated discussion a friend of mine and I had over her then boyfriend. She kept saying red flags turned into green lights...and I disagreed with her which caused a rift in our friendship. Such is life... Web Elf Moochers, Mama's Boys and More - 6 Relationship Red Flags(cont'd) By Emily Battaglia, LifeScript Staff Writer You watch the red flags glare back at you, but gosh, he’s just so good-looking. So you dismiss them in favor of seeing where the relationship will go. The problem with turning a blind eye to those red flags of a relationship in the making is that eventually they’ll come back to haunt you. You could end up hurt and resentful, even though it was you who could have prevented it. The following are six red flags and warning signals of a doomed relationship. Plus: Are you over your ex? To find that future partner who you can spend the rest of your life with, dating is necessary to separate the good from the bad, the complementary from the distracting.

Of course, I am a little biased as I am a founding member of the Dallas Swing Dance Society. You do not have to have special clothing or shoes, however I suggest either wear leather soled shoes or add masking/packing tape to the ball of your exercise shoes, otherwise you won't be doing a lot of swinging!

"I don't have time for that.""What do you mean, 'You don't have time for that?'" I could tell the questioner was young and energetic. What could she mean that she didn't have time for dating? Usually you hear that from someone worried about his or her age in some way, such as a man worrying about putting down roots or a woman worrying about her biological clock. Maybe that is what she meant, I thought."I don't have time to waste o­n dating someone whom I couldn't see myself marrying. If he doesn't have the potential for a serious relationship that could lead to marriage, I don't want to go out with him.""What's your hurry?""Well, I'm forty-two, I've been married o­nce before, and I want to be married again. I don't have time to waste.""I don't get it. You are o­nly forty-two. It's not like your life is over. What's your hurry?""Well, I just don't have time for all this dating. I o­nly want to go out with someone I could marry. Isn't that the purpose of dating? To find a mate?""NO! NO! NO!" I said, literally jumping up and down o­n the stage. If I could have screamed louder without breaking the microphone, I would have. "That is not the sole purpose of dating! Haven't you heard anything I've said?""Well, I just couldn't believe you were really serious about dating just for dating. I date to find a mate."I did not know any of the facts of her life. But I did know a lot from what she was saying. She was in a hurry, and o­n the hunt. That was easy enough to see. And that always means something. But past that, she was showing something else. It sounded like she thought she knew what she wanted and needed. I seriously doubted that."So, tell me about the last ten years," I said, picking a number out of the air. I wondered how her dating plan of action was going."Bad marriage and divorce," she said.This answer did not tell me a lot about her dating, so I pressed her. "How long have you been divorced?""It is not final yet. We ended it two weeks ago."The crowd gasped."What? Your divorce is not final, and you are already 'in a hurry?'" I could hardly believe my ears, although I should have. I have seen this countless times. "So what you are telling me is this. The last time you chose someone, it ended in disaster. And you have chosen no o­ne since him, right?" With o­nly two weeks o­n the market, I assumed she had not been in another relationship."Right.""So you have made o­ne choice for a mate, and it was a bad choice. Isn't it obvious that your 'people picker' is broken? Now, with no further experience dating, you think you are ready to make another lifetime commitment with the same people picker you used to pick the last o­ne. No, no, no! You are not ready to date to find a mate. You obviously do not know what you need, what is good and what is not good, and what your unhealthy patterns are. You are 0 for 1."The last thing you need is to date to find a mate. You need more than anyone to go out with many different kinds of men for a number of reasons. There is no way you are ready to think that you know what you need or what is good for you. The last ten years should have proven that to you. Make a commitment to not make a commitment. That is what you need to do. Go into divorce recovery. Get healing. Get therapy. But, please do not go out looking for another mate. That is the last thing you need."This is o­ne of the biggest problems I've encountered in my work with singles and dating. Do not let the questioner's recent divorce confuse the issue; I'm not talking about the need to avoid a rebound. The real issue here is what is the purpose of dating. o­ne of the first steps people need is to be cured of the thinking that the purpose of dating is to find a marriage partner. This is often a result, obviously. But here is what I'm trying to say:Dating is as much about learning what you need and want, and how you need to grow and change, as it is about finding the "right" person.Look at it this way. Tiger Woods grew up with the goal of winning more major golf tournaments than anyone in history. He wanted to win more U.S. Opens, Masters, PGAs, and British Opens than Jack Nicklaus did. What if Tiger had said early o­n, "I will not play in any other tournament than the U.S. Open." Ridiculous. What if any other athlete said, "I will o­nly play in the Super Bowl, or the World Series." That's crazy. Or what if a medical student said, "I will o­nly take the ultimate job in my life's career? I will not work at anything less than that." I would not want to go to that surgeon.Some people approach dating like that. They think they know what they need, what they want, or who they need to be. We will see specific reasons why this is not true in upcoming chapters, but for now I want you to join me in taking a hard look at your dating philosophy. If you have seen it as o­nly a search for the love of your life, then I want you to make some shifts in your thinking. I want you to see dating in a very, very different way.1. See dating as a wonderful time to find out about other people and what they are like.The recently divorced woman at my seminar needed to date a lot of men to find out how "off" she was in her ability to see what is good and to pick a good man. Without dating for the sake of learning, she would not do that. She would just jump into another relationship where she felt "in love."

Daniel is a monk in the Order of the Holy Cross at the Mariya uMama weThemba Monastary near Grahamstown, where he has been since 2005. He was born and grew up in South West Africa (since independence in 1990 called Namibia.) As an Afrikaner, he grew up in the Dutch Reformed Church, but broke with it at age 19 in 1979 due to political and theological differences. When he returned to organized religion, he joined the Anglican Church, and joined Holy Cross Monastary in 2005. Daniel says, “Those years away from the church have been extremely productive in terms of spiritual formation. Having lived through and participated in the so-called Border War of South Africa in Namibia, and having lived through the most recent civil war in the Republic of the Congo, had a profound impact on the way that I see the world and experience life. I am particularly blessed in the way that these and other experiences are factoring into my monastic journey.” Thu, 20 Mar 2008 19:19:28 -0700 http://www.episcopalsingles.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1225 Calling all Graduates and Professionals (GAP) with a competitive spirit!

One of the guys in my office, was very morose today after he had gone to Walmart February 13th to get a headlight for his car. When he saw all the balloons, valentine cards, flowers, candies and the happy couples, it was more than he can handle. He is fixated on a broken relationship from a year ago. He would love to get back together with J.; however J has moved onto another relationship. I gave everyone at work small boxes of sweetheart candies, except for him. Instead, I gave him a copy of two prayers from Marianne Williamson's Illuminata. I can totally relate to his pain, as I have gotten stuck in a loop, totally fixated on someone who was no longer a part of my life.

Below are 10 ways — in rough chronological order — a woman sizes up your sex appeal     Did he dress well for the date?"She's watching to see if you put some energy into your dress and grooming," says Aline Zoldbrod, Ph.D., a sex therapist in Boston. "If you don't take the trouble to dress well for her now, she sees it as disrespectful."       Does he have a sense of humor?If you're a total loser, it pays for her to ascertain that o­n the first date, says Zoldbrod.       Is he like my ex?Yes, we always pay for the last guy's sins. What women want is often based o­n their past negative or positive experiences. So when she talks about past boyfriends, heed well.                                      Is he bitter about past relationships?She needs full use of your closets. There's no room for baggage.       Can he talk about himself and listen to me?She'll carry 80 percent of the conversation load. Just make sure your 20 percent is about something.       Is he generous?Women somehow see a correlation between leaving a 10 percent tip and having a propensity to drown kittens.       Does he make me feel understood and appreciated?If you can't succinctly state her values, her politics, and her ambitions, you're probably failing here. Ask more questions. Listen to the answers this time.                                           Is he open to a relationship but not needy?Ace the other nine criteria here, and your odds of appearing needy will edge toward nil.       Does he keep promises?If you're not reliable, you're not viable, especially not for the ultimate goal of all this.   Does he have the potential to be a good father?For long-term potential, she considers whether you have the values she wants in a man. How you interact with your own family can be a strong indicator here. If she can't see tykes o­n your knee, she's wasting her time.                             Fri, 08 Feb 2008 12:21:37 -0800 http://www.episcopalsingles.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1220 If you were looking to spend a little time reading during Lent, this author is wonderful.  The book isn't very long and it should be an easy read.  After reading his Advent book, we scoured Dallas to find a copy of this Lenten study so, hurry up and hit the stores before they are gone.

Extraordinary means are not to be taken to avoid this situation, unless a detour would add dignity and not unreasonable length to the route. Traditional ceremonies are to be observed while passing before such an establishment.When the restaurant is sighted by the verger, he shall signal to the acolyte, who shall ring the bell thrice. The procession shall continue, but the serving of pancakes shall cease until the restaurant has been passed by. o­n hearing the bell, the clergy and lay ministers in procession shall turn their heads so as to face the establishment directly whilst they continue forward. Upon a single stroke of the bell, all shall stop and turn to face the restaurant. The sacred ministers shall remove their birettas, taking care not to drop the syrup pitcher as they do so. The lay ministers shall take the birettas and pitcher. The sacred ministers shall then double-genuflect, first bringing the right knee to the ground and then the left knee to join the right o­ne o­n the ground. All others shall bow low. The celebrant shall chant the collect for Shrove Tuesday. This completed, all shall rise, and the celebrant shall cover and resume the pitcher. A single stroke of the bell shall signal the resumption of the procession.Note: Note: -RITUAL NOTES, Interim Edition, Morehouse-Barlow, 1941 Tue, 05 Feb 2008 07:13:41 -0800 http://www.episcopalsingles.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1217 In the every present war of culture, singles and sex, o­ne local church as sunk down to the lowest form of advertising to draw a crowd.

Sat, 02 Feb 2008 21:06:42 -0800 http://www.episcopalsingles.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1216 THE GREAT UNWED July 03, 2005 by Michael Austin Chicago Tribune If you had told me in 1975 that in the year 2005 I would be unmarried with no children, I would have laughed until my baseball mitt fell off my hand. I remember being disappointed back then knowing I would have to wait practically a lifetime for my golden birthday, the day when my age matched the date of my birth, on the 28th of December. I was envious of the kids who got to celebrate theirs at age 9 or 12 or, my goodness, 16. But at least my wife and kids would be there to celebrate mine, I told myself, and how many 8-year-olds could say that? Having a family of my own to help me celebrate my golden birthday seemed like a fair trade-off for being born near the end of the month. I even pictured us huddled around my cake with those glorious, golden candles burning. Twenty eight was the height of adulthood to me then. Now that my golden birthday is 10 years gone, I can't help but think what a punk I was at 28 and how little I knew about living. When I was a kid, all I could imagine was being married as an adult, a way of life I learned at home watching my parents, who will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary in August. This is part of the paradox of my life: Why, so many years later, after growing up in a stable, happy home, am I still running the range on my own? I have a theory. But it goes nowhere until you know some of the backstory. Thu, 24 Jan 2008 08:00:00 -0800 http://www.episcopalsingles.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1215 Oy vey, been there, done that, have the pictures, and the battle scars on my heart.... Lead Me On by Camerin Courtney October 4, 2006 I tried to stop the disaster, really I did. It was like watching a movie and stage-whispering to the main character, "Don't go down to the basement." But the scene unfolds and the predictable carnage ensues. Unfortunately, I was the carnage. Or at least my heart was. Of course there's a guy involved. His name was "Stan" and we met at a singles conference when he attended a workshop I was leading and stuck around afterward to chat more about all things single and Christian. We had similar opinions, and I liked what he had to say about faith and church. In a surprise turn in the conversation, he mentioned that instead of attending the "official" conference social activity that night he was going to a hockey game—and he invited me to join him. I wasn't sure if this was a date or if he was just looking for someone to hang out with for the evening, but either way it sounded like fun, so I accepted. We met in the hotel lobby that night and enjoyed a nice night of frosty violence and dinner (both of which Stan paid for). The conversation flowed easily. Both being involved in singles ministry, we had a lot to discuss.

Over 100 bands will deliver some swingin' music and there will be ton of dancing. 35th Annual Sacramento Jazz Jubilee May 23-26, 2008 What is the Sac. Jazz Jubilee? Every Memorial Day Weekend since 1974, Old Sacramento and other downtown venues have drawn a horde of jazz fans to the Sacramento Jazz Jubilee, the top jazz festival in the West. Sponsored by the Sacramento Traditional Jazz Society, the event features a lineup that includes more than 100 bands from all over the country—and all over the stylistic map: Beyond the traditional jazz, there's blues, Western swing, ragtime, salsa, zydeco, barbershop, and just about every other jazz-influenced music genre imaginable. The event kicks off with a parade on Friday morning and runs through Monday, propelled by a number of unique shows along the way: children's concerts; a Sunday morning "Celebration of Faith" with upbeat gospel; almost a dozen youth groups; and a "Swing Dance Extravaganza" featuring hundreds of top swing dancers, from around the country, in competition. Free shuttles transport concertgoers between the event's myriad venues. Tue, 22 Jan 2008 10:00:00 -0800 http://www.episcopalsingles.org/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1213 I found this great website www.unmarriedamerica.org this morning, and read some of the essays on the front page. Thought this was a great read and had to share it with you....Web Elf Singling out the single people May 6, 2005 by Rachel Pater Calvin College Chimes A few Chimes back, I wrote an article titled: “Caution: Seniors Scrambling,” in an attempt to comically highlight the pressure we West-Michiganders face in regards to getting married. As a single woman about to leave behind the world of formal education and start life in the “real world” (which may or may not include getting a job, as I’m graduating with an English major), this is a highly personal domain for me, and I felt like I needed to voice my concern (though I know a small school newspaper is not exactly a great platform for any revolution). Surprisingly enough, a lot of people read the article (many, after my mother thrust it in their hands with the excitement and pride a normal mother might have if her child, say, found the cure for cancer). In conversation with those who did read it, I found myself defending and explicating my views, which I thought I’d take another stab at here. Chris, a family friend occasionally bemoaned his own family’s prejudice toward his singleness. All throughout college, Chris’ younger brother had been seriously dating someone while Chris remained single. Every year at the Thanksgiving celebration with extended family, his brother and girlfriend were given seats at the adult’s table, while Chris was left, knees protruding awkwardly over the plane of his chair, to entertain his younger cousins.
