Actress & Media Personality Stacii Jae Johnson Shares Her Dating Truth
Now you know I love me some True Tea, right? Well my good Judy Stacii Jae is spilling all her teas when it comes to Dating. Babeeeeeeee, when I tell you I been sippin in the NAME………
MY TRUE DATING STORY: A serial monogamist for most all of my dating life, I realized that dating one guy at a time was not the best way to get to the life partner I wanted. The biggest issue was that I had not been out on enough dates with different guys just having a great time to learn what I liked, let alone enough to make a choice to date just one guy.
Everybody that I met and decided I liked, I ended up dating for long periods of time, so all I knew for sure was what I didn’t like from all of the failed relationships. I committed to each of them without initially knowing enough about them.
As time went by I stayed, because by then I had time invested; I adopted the mentality that it wasn’t all that bad. I made a conscious decision to live with all of the things I did not like. Despite being unhappy and unfulfilled, I remained loyal. I would date one guy for six months, another guy for eight months, another guy for two years, another guy for two months… heck, I even dated a guy for four years!
After a series of life circumstances and introspection, I decided that I would stop dating one guy at a time. Dating involves getting to know someone by going out with them for dinner, drinks, dancing, socializing with friends; going to movies, museums, concerts, sporting events; taking long walks in the park, etc.
I decided that I would adjust my dating philosophy and no longer hand over monogamy to men who had not shown themselves deserving of it. Instead I would date three men simultaneously. Dating three men at one time means doing all of the above with them, but with absolutely, positively, no promise of any kind of intimacy.
“Dating multiple men has opened me up to self discovery. I relate better to myself and to the men I date. It has given me the courage to be all of me and it has taken the pressure off. For the first time in my life, I am enjoying dating. I feel empowered and one of the biggest things is – I stopped settling.” – Stacii Jae Johnson, Author
‘DATE, GIRL: 143 REASONS WHY I BELIEVE WOMEN SHOULD DATE MULTIPLE MEN’
When it comes to picking the right career, shoes or wine, we demand choices. So why is it that we don’t think twice about giving away the most precious gift a single woman has to give―monogamy,and all that it implies―to a man who has not yet shown himself to be deserving of it?
If you’re putting the wants and needs of a man you hardly know before your own because you think or hope he’s “the one;” if dating has become an agony of second-guessing yourself and over-analyzing every text, phone call and dinner conversation; if you are constantly question- ing where things are going―then this if the dating handbook you’ve been waiting for.
Alternately insightful and hilarious, Stacii Jae Johnson shares excerpts from her own dating diary, as well as her 143 reasons why she believes it is important for the singlegirl to date multiple men simultaneously. Date, Girl! will not only make you laugh, it will shake up every- thing you thought you knew about dating, shifting your focus along the way from finding Mr. Right to loving, respecting, honoring and empowering yourself
