Me and Mr J

So Mr. J will come and visit me when I am in New York! I am sooo excited. I gotta get my hair did, my nails done etc etc. I am going to try to schedule a brunch with him my auntie and my cousin. I wish I had a huge, mean-looking, physically intimidating brother who could meet him too (no offense Yati). I think it is important for people to know that you have a family that is also affected by the way you treat their loved one. Sometimes I wish I lived back in the days when guys had to come to your house and meet your father on the first date. In the African culture dating is not about the dating of two individuals but rather the coming together of two families. There is a community that both of those individuals are responsible to. As Hilary Clinton says, "it takes a village..."
Mr. J has reiterated his Thanksgiving invitation. I think that I have decided that until we are at least dating exclusively I won't be making any cross country trips. The idea that I could fly to see him one day and then the next day he could potentially be with someone else, or flying someone else in, is just a little too much for me to handle.
