Hello Again R.E.D.D Readers! :)

Happy Valentine's Day! In lieu of this day, I decided to reflect on one of my past Valentine's dates. It was approximately 3 years ago when one of my best friends and I decided that we were going to be each other's dates, since we were both single at the time. We went to breakfast at the local egg shack restaurant-the best food with the cheapest prices, of course! We were sitting there ordering our food, when two police officers walked in. One was GORGEOUS! Ladies, I'm talking about Sheriff from 'Why Did I Get Married' FINE! Instantly, we made eye contact and played the 'look-and-look-away' game for about15 minutes-pretending to be in deep conversations with our friends. Before he walked out, he and his partner came to my table and began to converse with my bestie and I. After laughing and joking for a while, we exchanged numbers...

Happy Valentine's Day to ME, right???

WRONG!

Things eventually took a turn for the worse...AGAIN!

I tried to be understanding of his issues because he was a police officer, but here are the top 3 things the ended our relationship:

1. Instead of ringing my doorbell, he would FLASHLIGHT THE WINDOW!

2. Invited me to his house and spent HOURS showing me his POLICE ROOM and reviewing EACH and EVERY award/arrest he made! (UMMM...REALLY?!)

3. On our dates when he was OFF work, he STILL kept his radio on...he was ALWAYS ON DUTY!

Well, I hope Cupid does a better job for you! :)

Stay tuned for the next issue and continue journeying with me through my 'Dating Chronicles'...
