About CityBoy
I am a 36 year old Television News Editor/Producer based in Charlotte, North Carolina. I lived and worked in the suburbs for years. Slowly but surely, all of my friends started getting married and settling down. I, on the other hand, was nowhere near that point, and was sick of the quaint neighborhood cookouts full of married people asking me when I was going to meet the right girl. After a chance encounter, I found a whole new group of friends who lived in the city and gave me a whole new perspective on the interactions of men and women. I have started to learn that working on me was the best way to meet the one I was meant to be with. It has been a slow, but valuable process. Now, combined with an amazing group of friends, I feel more confident to stick my toe back into the dating pool. If you read, and comment, I’m sure we’ll learn from each other along the way!

There’s nothing wrong with being small, and anonymous. It’s a good thing . . . really.
Look, if you’re [...]
Resolutions
As I sit in this coffee shop, I feel the ground shifting beneath my feet. No, unlike many of the writers on this blog, I don’t live on the west coast, so it’s not an earthquake.
It’s change, and a lot of it.
It’s all good change, and it’s really exciting change: there’s a new [...]
Listen, Feel it, Own it.
I know it’s not going to work, and in my head, I’m already over her.
My heart, on the other hand takes a little longer. I need to stop getting that little adrenaline push when she walks into the room. The twinge of pain I feel when I see her with someone else is almost gone, [...]
When Chemistry Isn’t Enough . . .
I have been seeing this woman for a month. Just last night, after what should have been a really romantic dinner, it became abundantly clear . . . She’s not for me.
The thing is, I adore her. She’s strong, beautiful on the inside and out, and honest. She’s true to herself and others. What could [...]
