This is for everybody, whether you got somebody right now, or looking
for somebody, this page is your source to help you get what you want
out of your relationship, from the intimate side.  I will break this down
into two segments.  One for those WITH, and one for those WITHOUT.

For those of you WITH SOMEBODY

  • Say, "I Love You" to your partner at least four times per day.  When
    you wake, then twice at some points during the day.  Then finally
    when you reunite for bed.  To enhance this first aspect of showing
    affection with your partner, call and leave a message of love.
  • Eat dinner together as much as possible.  This gives you and your
    partner invaluable time to talk to each other.  We get so consumed
    in ourselves that we can very easily neglect the person whom we
    love the most.  This dinner time allows for some form of non-sexual
    intimacy.
  • Give your partner an 8-second kiss everyday.  You will be surprised
    at how excited you get when doing it.  Kissing, for most women
    from my experience, is a HUGE turn-on.  If you are not a good
    kisser, then you are S-O-L (Shit outta Luck).
  • Quality time!!!!!  Make time for each other, at a minimum of one
    night per week.  Spend an evening together.  Whether it is a
    blockbuster night, or a night on the town.  Spend time together.  
    Just you and your partner.
  • Lastly, COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!  I cannot stress this
    enough.  Too many times we let little shit build up then it
    snowballs into bigger shit.  


For those of you LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY

  • Get Busy!!!!!  This is especially true for women.  Find a hobby.  If
    you are a single mom, then get your child busy and you play
    chauffeur and drive him/her around.  You will be surprised at how
    many men you will see at a "swimming class, basketball practice,
    soccer game, or dance/acting classes."  This is an excellent
    opportunity for you to meet someone "off the cuff."
  • Stop being so dayum choosey.  Especially you over 30 folks.  Too
    many people, men and women, are searching for somebody that is
    "fine as hell."  We must learn to appreciate a person for their
    conversation, intellect, and sense of humor.  As we grow older, it is
    going to be those three qualities that we most appreciate in our
    partner.  Give somebody at chance with you.
  • Smile and compliment people whom you come in contact with.  
    (For men:  If you see a sista in a nice outfit, or one who just got her
    hair done, tell her how good she looks.)  This goes a LONG WAY
    with the sistas.  
  • Attend a larger church.  The congregation at Salem Church is over
    30,000 strong.  Hmmmm...lets do the math, lets say that 16,000 of
    those people are married and another 4,000 are in committed
    relationships.  That still leaves 10,000 single people, which
    probably breaks down to 3,000 men and 7,000 women since
    women are more predominant in the church.  If you don't believe
    me, then go to Salem, Trinity, or Antioch on the southside for a
    Sunday Service.
