“Of the people I am talking to now … he is nice,” the 44-year-old reality star told attendees, as captured in fan footage. “And she is nice.” The audience members gasped, with many shouting, “Whoa!”Williams, who did not reveal the individuals’ identities to the crowd, laughed as one attendee quipped, “You’re bold!”
She went on to share how the two people she is dating differ from her exes.“I really wanted to make sure these were normal people,” she explained. “And what I talked about with my therapist the other day was, I’m having a hard time opening up because they’re not narcissists. “And guess what narcissists do? They love bomb you,” the reality star continued, seemingly shading Guobadia. “They do everything to look perfect. They mirror you.” The former couple wed in 2022, settling their divorce earlier this year.

Ryan-30: “I was out with a new date in a very upscale restaurant when a bitter ex-girlfriend walked up to my table, and began telling my date about my “preference” for exotic sexual positions and warned her that she’d better beef up whatever exercise program she was on, in order to keep up. I was so embarrassed and angry, that I stood and grabbed her around the neck before I knew it. The manager called the police, and we were all thrown out of the restaurant. Ironically, my date recognized the incident as the typical ranting of a bitter jealous woman, and we moved on to another restaurant to resume the evening.” MORE

“I Could Never
Date A Guy Who…”
by Dani Stone
It seems throughout history that the thought persisted that a woman’s greatest ambition was to be married and treasured by a man, while men were perceived as being more blasé about entering the state of matrimony. The famous author, Jane Austen made a fortune writing books about women desperately wanting to marry, and the consequences thereof. In her day, the perceived goal was to marry well, which meant that a man considered financially solvent and able to afford a wife, almost needed little else. These days for a growing number of women, who are in what I call “The Waiting Zone” the financial qualifier is still very important, but much more has to be in place before they give their hearts away. Here are some interesting examples: MORE

Q. My best friend has been crazy in love for the past four months with a guy she talks about constantly. She had never mentioned his full name and I didn’t ask. Therefore, when she brought him to my birthday party recently, I was shocked to see that he was the same guy I dated four years ago. Unfortunately, he was an experience I would never forget. He had a split personality, where he could be charming and kind one minute and violent the next. The problem is, I don’t know if I should tell my friend about my former affiliation with him and that I called the police after he slapped me in a fit of anger. I feel deceitful for not telling her and it may affect our friendship. When we were introduced, we both pretended we didn’t know each other. What would you do? MORE

Dinner Date Dilemmas
by Lisa Laird
Recently, I went out to dinner with a new guy I met at a workshop. I must admit, I felt a bit intimidated because he seemed so cosmopolitan and well-traveled. We went to a French restaurant, and when the waiter put the menu in my hand, I felt even more intimidated, because I couldn’t understand some of the languages on the menu, and he seemed to be well-versed.

Greatness

Don’t Know It All. When you’re out conversing socially, never pretend to know what you do not. It’s considered smart to admit what you don’t know, and even sexy when you seek to know more about what you don’t know. Pay Attention. If he/she says she’s just looking for a friend, he/she isn’t being subtle. They’re probably not interested in making a romantic connection with you. MORE
