DEAR CRF, IS IT POSSIBLE TO GO FROM FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS TO A RELATIONSHIP?
Dear CRF, “I been talking to this guy since August. At that time he just got out of a relationship, knew I wanted one but he wasn’t ready. We still talked and got together several times but then I ended it since I wanted more than he was willing to give which was not much. We get along really well and I do really like him. When I ended it, he turned around a month later saying he had himself together and says he is ready now but wants toRead More
TIME WASTED vs. TIME INVESTED
A complaint that I often hear from men is that women nowadays want a man who has already arrived. He has the education, the six figure career, the fancy car, the house, and numerous stamps in his passport.

Regardless of what you do, he’s always gonna come home to me. That’s my man, and you need to getRead More
DOING TOO MUCH?

We’ve heard the old mantra about women giving out wife benefits before getting the ring. Such benefits include, cooking, cleaning, being a help mate, etc. What’s funny about that mantra is that many of the women who scream this loud are the same women who willingly share their bodies with men they aren’t married to. Or even if not, they are the same womenRead More
LET’S TALK ABOUT MARRIAGE
Ahh… Marriage. To some it is the final destination, the last goal on that infamous “To Do List”, the meaning of a complete life. To others it is that dreaded inevitable consequence, the choice to retire after you’ve left the game for whatever apparent reason: forced out, gracefully bowed up, sustained injuries, whatever. Over the last 20 years, more and more marriages have ended in divorce. Is this because we choose the wrong partners, or that we don’t understand the dynamics of marriage? In it’s simplest form, all marriage isRead More
