Finding a mate is especially challenging for Single Black Women

If we were to believe everything we read in popular media, the lines to join the nunnery would be out the door, filled with hundreds of thousands of single black women. According to study after study, the prospects are slim to none for SBW hoping to find a compatible mate. Six Degrees From Love journals the life of a SBW and her struggles with dating and other related aspects of her personal and social lives. Could this be the one SBW who'll find the one who'll put a ring on it?

3 x Valentine's Day Moments - European Style!

Valentine's Day, hmmm... I can remember my three most recent experiences from 2009-2011. In 2009, I had a great Turkish dinner with my friend in Frankfurt, Germany. 2010, I received 2 dozen roses (thanks to ProFlowers.com) from my now ex-boyfriend, Chris from Luxembourg. Tonight, Feb 14, 2011, my Italian friend cooked a great Italian dish: Carbonira. We enjoyed the hvvelaCarbonira along w/ a Riesling.

I see a trend! I really enjoy spending Valentine's Day with my dear, European friends! Maybe in 2012, I will continue on with my European trend and visit vhvemy friend in Rome!

How a sweet date date put a smile on my face :)

I had a wonderful time on my Valentine's date last night; however, the night didn't start out like that. I had a 10 ft wall up for a host of reasons from misconceptions to preconceived notions. It's still a learning process, but your judgement can be clouded like no other when there is a breakdown in communication. I'm so glad my date managed to kick down that wall, determined to put a smile on my face. The fact that he took the time to do so speaks volumes! Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine’s Day and Welcome to Six Degrees From Love!


It'll be hard for anyone to ever
top this sweet card I got from my
favorite valentine, my son!

And so today began with me scrolling through Happy V-Day wishes that friends have posted on their facebook wall.
Here’s some of my favorites – matched up with the author’s relationship status:

“Loving is not just looking at each other, it’s looking in the same direction.”
-- female - happily married

“I don’t need Valentine’s Day to tell you I love u.”
-- male - it’s complicated

“Okay...I don't have a Valentine yet, but the day is still young ;)
-- female - single, and hopeful!!

This last one is my absolute favorite!  I’m so excited to launch on Valentine’s Day – this is what this blog is all about – hope!
