Ask A Very Smart Brotha: “How Do I Stop Hitting My Man?”

- By

 

Mykesha: I’m 23 and I’ve never been in a relationship/had a boyfriend. Of course I’ve had crushes, but nothing of substance ever manifested. As I think about my professional and personal goals, I think about “fitting in” a relationship somewhere soon down the line, but I’m finding it to be a challenge to find men who believe in courtship and abstinence. What do guys make of courtship and abstinence? Is there an “appropriate” age to begin dating?

DY: Some guys will court you and respect abstinence. Some guys won’t. You just have to find and date the ones who do. And, don’t worry about “appropriate” ages and dating. Everyone has their own clock.
