This week I encourage a single male to continue his search for love.
Dear Tia,
I’m a single, successful African-American guy in my mid-thirties…and I’m ready to settle down. I’ve dated a lot of women but I’ve only met one who I really wanted to marry. Unfortunately, we broke up because she was in medical school and didn’t want the responsibility of balancing a relationship and her studies. Honestly, I also think she was getting it on with a classmate she always talked about. This all happened two years ago, but she’s the only woman who I ever looked at in that manner. What should I do? – Looking for Love
Dear Looking,
As a single man looking for a soul mate the odds are definitely in your favor. According to the Census Bureau 70% percent of African-American women are single—needless to say you have a plethora of choices. Other racial groups also boast high numbers (49% of Hispanic women, 55% of white women and 66% of Asian women are single) so keep looking and you’re bound to find someone else who garners your interest.
If you truly believe your ex was Mrs. Right, call her. You have absolutely nothing to lose by finding out whether she’s single and interested, but be sure to get the bottom of your suspicions about her fidelity. No one wants a spouse with a cheating heart.
