Neenah Pickett's 52-Week Love Mission

a little message to whoever set up this website: how about a character counter? just a bit of convenience so we'll know when some of our best thoughts can't be posted because the body of the letter is too big? please?

i am amazed at the negativity in these posts. one was especially rude, stating that neenah seems desperate, appears to be older than forty-two and needs - of all things - a total makeover! can you be more small-minded? neenah is intelligent, attractive and clearly not one to sit and wait for life to live her. i applaud neenah for being brave enough to make this move. somewhere, there's a man who will share this life with her in a way that brings joy to both of them. and just because the comments i mentioned above really bugged me, i wish to say this to "janice" who "Posted at 9:19AM on January 7th 2009": rather than tear someone else down for taking a step toward making her life what she wants it to be, take such a step yourself and invest in some remedial english courses.

Oh lighten up people! Black women are so stuck in a box, that is why we have the lowest marriage rate in the US. If you want to keep "waiting" for God to send you a man, you may be single forever. God has better things to do with his time...get off your butt and do you. She seems smart enough to figure out the do's and don'ts, so get off your soap box people and stop trying to enlighten her.

You'ver got Moxy Girl! and I can truly appreciate that quality-take charge and make things happen. Waiting for GOD to send you a man is just not realistic--haven't you all heard, "God helps those who help themselves"? meeting Mr. Right is a numbers game and you've got to put yourself outthere to be seen and heard from; especailly balck women......I wish you all the luck and I will be following you. BTW are you on twitter? this way, you can all keep us posted real-time.

Neenah - I wish you well, but I tend to disagree about religion being a topic to avoid on the first date. Actually you should discuss who you believe in (I pray your belief is in Jesus Christ) before you make plans for the first date because you need to be equally yoked or there is no reason to waste your time on a first date. You should not have to debate you belief, but you should discuss it before you even make the first date. One bit of advice, let him find you.

TYPE YOUR MESSAGE HERE Congratulations. Thank God for sending him to you NOW. You have put it out to the universe. Remember to tak action every day. Don't give up. Listen the time is NOT too short to find him. People who marry in arranged marriages do it in less time and grow to love each other. Keep away from negative people and search far and near and you will find him. What country are you drawn to?? Well he may be there. Travel, go out lots, night schools and various activites. YOU WILL find HIM if you can visualize him in detail and you move beyond any barriers of race, class and age. Blessing. MariaPosted at 1/07/2009 7:00 PM by Maria

I think many of the comments I’ve read on this article are missing the point. All this is about is simply “Dating With A Purpose” and letting it be clearly known that she is really open(key) to allowing some one in her space. She is also letting it be known that she is about developing something that will lead to marriage. Far too often women think a man is suppose to just know what their dating expectation are, not so. It may be biblically right for the man to seek and find, but ladies don’t hide! It is also not desperate to let it be known that they want to get married, this is not the lottery where you scratch off and hope you win. First by putting it out there you eliminate anyone who is not a serious suitors and anyone who is about games (this is coming from a man so take it to heart) A real man (key world real) will appreciate you being up front and not take advantage of your feelings, but be equally up front with what his intention and dating expectation are.
