Since things ended with Johnathan, Elle has been in these streets. After a brief online encounter, she’s dealt with everything from clingy exes to guys who just want  friends with benefits. Catch up with the latest in Elle’s love life. You know you won’t be disappointed! 

After things ended with Johnathan, I got right back out there, determined not to let one monkey stop the show. Well, Felix decided to jump in my in-box. He wasn’t bad on the eyes, but I’m being open-minded. I should have just deleted his message and saved us both some time. Felix and I never got a chance to have a real conversation or meet face-to-face. Honey, that man was a bit too much for me. He sent me a picture of himself every day. He decided that I wasn’t interested in him because I didn’t talk during our video chat. How could I speak when you did all the talking for 30 minutes? Really, Dude? But hey, I was about to ghost him anyway. 

Since then, I have been, as my co-worker put it, “in these streets!” I’ve been living by the motto, “do me and have fun.” And all I can say is that it has been an adventure. I decided to take a break from online dating for a while. But a few of my blessed ex’s have contacted me. I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not going to lie, when Mr. G hit my line, I got a bit moist! I decided to play his little game. It had been a while, and your girl needed to have some fun. In the beginning, Mr. G had me feeling like I lived on cloud nine. But as they say, all good things must come to an end. Mr. G got a bit too clingy. He wanted to possess me without taking on all of me. Most of my ladies will get what I’m saying. For the others, let me break it down for you.

A few years back, I was dating this little chocolate thang. We’ll call him Mr. B. We started as just friends and became each other’s confidants. We hung out countless times. We even spent a few nights together without touching each other – that is, until that one night. After that, we became a couple. And things were great until I went out of town. I had a man when I left Chicago. 

But when I returned, I was single! Mr. B decided that he still wanted to possess me, just not with the responsibility of a relationship. He didn’t want me to go out with other dudes, even though he knew I wanted to be in a relationship. Some young girls may find this stuff cute. But it is unacceptable for a grown-ass man to think that this is ok. Why play with someone because you don’t want anyone else to have what you don’t want? Some women want a man so bad that they’re willing to settle for this type of BS. But not your girl. I’m going to keep it movin’! Until next time…
