The Cereal Dater

What is a Cereal Dater?

A cereal dater is often someone who has an ongoing fear of commitment. They usually don’t believe in everlasting love, so they fill their belly’s with artificial sweetened breakfast treats that fill a void of them committing to one brand of cereal for life.

I mean there are so many options Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Golden Grahams, Frosted Flakes (I mean let’s face it because “They’re Great Right?) and the list goes on

Then you have your seasonal ones like Frankenberry, Booberry or Count Chocula

The problem is it’s a temporary filling and you’re bound to still be hungry

I’m not knocking this but I think it’s important for whatever brand of cereal you choose that they are aware that you’re a Cereal dater and they are ok with this

You can’t date a Quaker Oatmeal Brand whose clearly a committed oat and assume that they will be ok with your Trix! Because you know Trix are for kids!

I was trying to think, 🤔 if I could be a Cereal 🥣 which one would I be? And I came up with one from the 70’s when I was born and it is Golden Nuggets (Sugar and Honey with a sweet slightly honey Like flavor also Foreign and available only in the UK and Ireland) so hard to replicate and not within reach of a local Cereal Dater

Cereal Daters….. we made it clear that they don’t know what they want in a relationship so they date cereals from different backgrounds trying to land the cereal they think they can fit themselves into the lives of who they date. They love the first couple of dates because they relish the “New Cereal” feeling

If you’re a Cereal Dater I just want you to stay the hell away from me because I’m not interested

I wrote this to say ask upfront what people want because you dont want to be another box of Trix!

Y.O.L.K.

The Old Dominion Omelet

This by far is probably the least dramatic blog I’ve ever written but it’s been awhile so I had to write something because it is New Years Eve and you all deserve to know how my 2017 ends lol

Single as a Spring Chick 🐥 is how!!

In September I was going to look at my Facebook alerts and in the section an Omelet popped up under people you may know..My first thought was “Is this really who I think it is? And my second thought was “How did Facebook know?

This Omelet was a person from my past at least 20 years ago that I never personally met but talked a lot with by phone because he was in the Navy at that time and was always out to sea 🌊 or out of the country. I don’t even remember how we initially met maybe some chat room or something from back in the day

So I messaged him to see is it was truly him and I immediately got a friend request and a response “Yes it’s me”

I was super happy I found him because he was someone that I always thought of and wondered where he was..

Well we did some catching up and it was a coincidence that I was going to the DC Area and my original plans had fallen through and I already had a flight there so he invited me to come stay the weekend with him and his son from his previous marriage. He had been divorced 3 years at the time.

So I went and it was the best weekend get away I had in a long time. He and his son were such gentlemen I never touched a door 🚪, not a car door, front door, back door. I know that should be the norm but it isn’t on the West Coast (Could y’all work on that fellas in 2018) so it was nice to see that true gentlemen still existed and Chivalry was not dead 💀

Prior to me going he suggested I move to Virginia and I let him know the timing was off which was a good thing because the more I talked to him the more he said he didn’t like being in Virginia and continuously complained about hating his job as a police officer 👮‍♀️as it was very depressing.

That seemed to be every conversation we had to where it became depressing to me to even have a conversation with him because what do you say really? He just didn’t want to be there or do what he had been doing in his career but he also wasn’t sure where he wanted to go or what he wanted to do with his life..

He was also a very private person and didn’t share a lot about himself or his thoughts which is fine because I knew enough I’m just a talker and I enjoy good convo and getting in peoples heads. 🗣

So the calls and texts became less frequent and I just realized we just weren’t on the same page in life as far as trying to pursue anything further than a friendship

I didn’t let him go as a friend but I did let go of the thought of there being something more at this time

You never know what the future will bring but Omelet Him Go for now because dating long distance sucks ijs 🤷🏽‍♀️

Y.O.L.K.

Burnt Toast

I put the overcooked Omelet back on my plate and boy oh boy what a mess that was

So back in June I swore I was done with this Omelet and yet again with his sweet talk and gifts he convinced me like all the other times he was so in love with me and that he needed me in his life and that he was really leaving his wife.

In July he tells me that he is going to take his wife and kids to Seattle and leave them there and come back and be the Omelet I need him to be

He also told me his wife was in Seattle taking care of her sick mom and I even said sarcastically "You probably moved her back in since she's been begging to come back" and I really haven't been to your house in like a month and he said No that wasn't the case..

In between this time he was blocked from my Facebook page and up until a few weeks ago I added him back and I got three texts of him asking who some other Omelets were on my page and then he asked me to delete one friend of mine and I refused to because why should I delete someone per his request when he hasn't even gotten a divorce? Plus that person was no threat to him. I was at work and my phone was blowing up all Day while I was in a meeting about this Omelet so I gave him his number so he could express how he felt to him and he refused to call that Omelet but yet kept antagonizing me by text so I put a post on Facebook and tagged both Omelets so they could hash it out and that made him chill out because he realized he was being insecure.

Then the next week I made a post about a comedian and accidentally left part of the comedians title out and an Omelet with the same name commented and he made a big deal about that when it wasn't even anything to trip on

For several days he questioned all the Omelets on my page it was weird to see how insecure he was so I told him that I think we just need a break he should work on his divorce and then come talk to me because I can't be with an Insecure Omelet

For 2 days he begged to see me and told me how much he loved me and so on the second day me and my Best friend decided we would do a drive by his place. I text and asked him to come outside and he came outside and the minute I opened my mouth to tell him why I was there a female figure was walking toward us. His back was turned and I was facing her so as she gets closer I recognize it's his wife so she says to him "What are you doing? I thought we were checking the mail? And he says "what do you want to her?"

I don't say anything because I'm waiting for him to speak up, tell her who I am or something and he doesn't so she introduces herself and extends her hand out for me to shake so I do and I say nice to meet you but nothing else

Since he's standing there looking stupid and doesn't say anything I walk away and leave

So then he texts me repeatedly for 2 more days please stay with me she's leaving blah blah blah

So finally I say come over and talk and we arrange a time and the next thing I see is messages really weird messages like "Are you happy now? You think you did something don't call me no more and lose my number and I'm like this Omelet has lost his yolks damn weirdo! So I'm like what are you talking about? and he's like you know what I'm talking about so I'm trying to call and he won't answer because I'm like is this Omelet drunk or what?

Finally he calls and I can hear his wife in the background saying tell her and he says sounding like a Bitch "Lose my number and stop calling me"

So my pettiness comes into play and I say "No I'm totally enjoying this I can't believe you let a woman tell you what to do lol " 😂I am totally entertained now so I keep texting and talking about how he likes it in the bedroom and some extra stuff lol

So she calls me from her phone and says I'm his wife and shares what his full name is like I don't know that's how I found out he was married 🙄 and how she knows all this stuff about me and while she's telling me this I'm like it's because it's his phone you read our text messages and she's like your not the first and only one and I'm messing with her now In a calm voice I ask "So how does that make you feel knowing your husband constantly cheats on you?,Yet you raving about him being your husband and how you been with him a decade like who stays with someone through a decade of cheating? and I can tell she's getting mad because I get so good under her skin with my words that she hangs up on me lol I am dying laughing at this point because it's comedic now that this fool begged me for months to stay and got mad over who was on my page yet he moved his wife back in a month ago

So then he calls and I can hear her yelling and he says "She knows to stop she gets it and he's like hello can you please stop calling and I'm like No I'm actually enjoying this..It's what you deserve and she's in the background and I can tell I'm on speaker so I yell out her name and tell her to Shut up and sit down somewhere and play with the kids lol 😂

I was so pissed off I turned my pettiness on to a whole other level and ended it by sending them a Meme of a baby 👶🏾 sleeping that said "This is how I sleep Single knowing no one is cheating on me lol

So let's recap what I have been saying in this whole situation "Do not mess with a married man ever"

The lesson he learned is pick a dumb chick to fool around with instead of a chick like me

When I date I don't hide the fact that I blog so clearly he didn't care or listen that this would be shared with all

When I see a situation that makes I write worthy I'm gonna ride it all the way out

I write stories on my experiences and when their good you will see a whole other side of me but when their bad be prepared to see the worst of me

Y.O.L.K.

The Overcooked Troubled Omelet 

This is my last update to this relationship because this Omelet has stayed on the stove too long and it’s Overcooked and Burned!

Nothing happened really since my last update, we were good. I’m just finally over the relationship.

I’m the type that when I’m done, I’m done.

I have finally checked out of the building! 

So for the final time Omelethimgo!

 Sometimes it takes some people longer than others to realize when you no longer have the energy to what seems to be a never ending story! Take however long you need to figure it out! 

Y.O.L.K. 

You Only Live Knowingly 

The Troubled Omelet found his way back to my plate (Again)!


I know I said the last blog that I was done for good with this Troubled Omelet.

I really thought I was because of how it ended but I really should have known I would hear from him again.

This is a pattern..When I think it’s over he literally never goes more than a few days without reaching back out to me as you can see from my previous blogs.

I hope this is the last time I have to make an entry about us cracking apart again in this way.

To start “NO”  he did not go back to his wife. 

The night that he was texting me while I was at the movies when I finally came out I will admit I was a smart ass and I said “I did say I was going to the movies right?” In a tone like why the hell did you keep texting me knowing I was in the movies? And if you know me you know I’m a fucking smart ass bitch sometimes 🤷🏽‍♀️

So he took that as him bothering me and got in his feelings. Now I don’t always have time to explain the whole history and background on things but to put it in short terms his wife treated him like shit throughout their marriage, cheating, talking down to him etc. so when I responded that way it made him feel some type of way.

So he started reevaluating our relationship and he just felt that he should focus on wrapping up his divorce and work on himself rather than continue to be in a relationship.

So when I asked him why he couldn’t just pick up the phone and talk to me he apologized over and over that he fucked up by not doing that. And that when I asked him if “this was our talk?” When he text me and if he was going to give me an explanation his “Naw” was saying this wasn’t our talk and that he intended on calling me.

Well I explained I was already pissed at that point because he shouldn’t have ever text me in the first place.

So the past few days we did a lot of talking and he shared with me that there were times when he would compare things I said to his wife when he knows I’m nothing like her.

He also said that and he has said this many times “He is so used to dealing with young spring chickens and that he has actually never dealt with a real woman like me before that he is trying to adjust to learn how to communicate because he is so used to shutting down or having a yelling match with his Ex.

He expressed that he really loves me and that he can’t risk losing me to someone else because I am his future.

We have agreed to work on us, our communication and just being happy together.

In just 5 months we will have been together 1 year and we are trying to make it there and beyond. 

So for now “Omelet Him Back In.”

The lesson I took away from this is that communication by text about serious matters are a No No.

When you have something serious that needs to be addressed, Pick up the damn phone and talk about it!

Y.O.L.K.

The End of the Troubled Omelet (For real this time) 

It’s official 

The Troubled Omelet and I are completely done

It’s been a long time coming and the way that it ended was rather sudden and abrupt

I saw him on a Thursday everything was great we chatted a little on Friday he was acting weird while I was at the movies and texting me and being insecure like I was at the movies with someone other than my best friend and my daughter.. 

He and I had plans Saturday and he just quit calling and responding to my messages and calls 

On Sunday evening I got a message in my Facebook inbox that he had a lot going on and we would talk the next day

He text me and said some random shit about him being where he needs to be and what he thinks he needs and if that was even a possibility and he just needs to think

So I said I don’t know what your talking about so that’s hard to give an opinion

So I text him the next day to confirm we would talk later and he said yes and then an hour later I get a text “Yea I can’t do this”

So I said “Is this our talk? Like you’re not even gonna even explain? And I was hit with “Naw”

So my response was Lose my number don’t EVER worry about talking to me again 

And he said it’s not fair to me and you 

And I said “Why are you still talking to me?”

And blocked him in every single way he could ever attempt to reach me

What a coward!! I can’t deal with anyone that can’t be man enough to pick up the phone and tell me what’s going on

So you know what right? 

Omelethimgo!

Ladies I just want to share this he wasn’t a bad guy but he wasn’t very smart either 

I can only make assumptions he’s going back to his horrible marriage but because he didn’t actually tell me I don’t really know..But what I do know is that my cute ass deserves better! 

Y.O.L.K.

You Only Live Knowingly 

The Troubled Omelet is back on my plate! 


From the photo you can see he’s quite the charmer!

This time I decided that we need to ease back into this.

There is no doubt that I love this Omelet and there is no doubt that he loves me back.

He explained that the night I called Yes he was at his wife’s house but it wasn’t all what I have developed in my head. He didn’t tell me he was going over there because of how I may react.

He also explained that even though he is no longer in Love with his wife he still has to check on his family. He also guaranteed me that he had no plans on getting back with her and he needed the time to get things in order.

He asked me if I could please stop making assumptions and jumping to conclusions which you know that I just have to 🙏🏽 about because trust is not something I’m good at.

We both agreed that we would allow each other some space not a lot but just enough to ease the tension because of the words we exchanged with each other.

We are still together, we both agreed not to date anyone else or be physical with anyone else in between time

It’s only been less than a week on this space we are giving each other and it’s hard because when your so used to seeing someone 3-4 times a week and it changes, you miss them.

I have explained many times there’re is no explanation for me with the exception that I am truly in love with this Omelet.

All I can do now is wait to see how it all plays out.

Omnotlettinghimgoyet!

Y.O.L.K.

The End of the Troubled Omelet 

So the last time I wrote to you, I wrote how I was still deciding if Omelet Him Go! 

I also wrote about how honest he had been and how I’d never had someone be so honest with me. Well that changes within the past week.
A few days ago I got this gut feeling..You know women’s intuition that he wasn’t where he said he was going to be. 

So I called my Omelet and you know the shuffling around sound you get when a person accidentally answers the phone?

So yea that happened and then I called again and I got sent to voicemail. 

So for about a week I had been getting told by him he’s at his sisters and he had been texting me instead of answering the phone you know all the signs when you know your Omelet is turning into scrambled eggs..

I compare the 2 because an Omelet is perfectly folded and fluffed but when scrambled it’s not as perfect.

So I immediately text and basically tell him that we need to take a break until he figures out who he is and where he wants to be.

He doesn’t respond for a whole day. 

The day after he plays the blame game “You told me I don’t know who I am, You You You..

Everything is about the person that’s not in the wrong when the Omelet doesn’t want to admit to their wrong doing 

So he would never admit he is going back to his wife or that he’s considering it he says “I can’t give you what you want, Go do what you want!” 

Now mind you before he says all this while he’s playing the blame game he’s asking me while we take a break what am I gonna be doing? Because I have needs etc 

But that wasn’t working for me..

When an Omelet is beating around the skillet to answer your question chances are that he’s doing exactly what you think

So for the final time after this 6 months of headaches 

Omelet him go! 

My advice to you is don’t date a Omelet that’s still married on paper regardless if their separated because it’s too much of a burden to deal with. 

Y.O.L.K.

The Troubled Omelet Cont.

Back in January I wrote about the Troubled Omelet and I absolutely thought that was the end of my relationship with him and then a few things transpired. He actually came clean and told me everything and he didn’t paint a perfect picture of himself he let me know that through his marriage he wasn’t always perfect and neither was his wife. They lived in a very dysfunctional situation for Many years and it was time that they separated yolks from whites and parted their ways.

So with proof of course it was confirmed they separated and she was in her own place and he was in his own place. During this time things were still not perfect between us because every time she called crying she was scared or said the kids needed him he would run over there. There were times he would text instead of call me and I would know he was there and I would try and end it and he wouldn’t let me go. He insisted nothing was going on between them and in his words “He was merely observing her actions and the way she cared for their children”

I know reading this you’re thinking “Has she cracked her shell?” No I actually haven’t done that I see a man that has a heart so pure that even though his wife knows it’s over he doesn’t like seeing her hurt or his children hurt.

To explain how I’m dealing with this is truly nothing that anyone could understand unless they went through something like this. I’m dealing with a broken man. I can’t fix him I’m aware but he definitely makes it clear to me that he wants to be with me and me only and he loves me and doesn’t want to lose me but right now he’s fragile on the inside just like his shell on the outside. So I’m here to support him through it. I believe him when he tells me there is absolutely no scrambling in the bed going on between the two of them.

Most women would say let him go but we have tried to move on without each other but have never made it 1 whole day without him calling me to tell me he doesn’t want to lose me. We really got too far in to turn back now and we are just here going day to day spending more time together and learning about each other and sharing and being open with each other in all ways.

I have never had an Omelet let me in on everything and be so open with me, I mean he lets me see his phone messages and Facebook messages to reassure me I am who he wants to be with. 

Do I advise someone to do this? Hell No Never! I would advise you to wait and give it time in between the separation to allow healing because this is not a roll in the nest. This is the most difficult thing to go through and that I have ever been through in my life but I promise you of all the Omelets I have met I have never met someone more caring, patient, attentive and HONEST in my life

Still deciding if Omelethimgo 

Y. O. L. K.

The Troubled Omelet

Ingredients: Charming, Attentive, Persistent, Insecure with a Big side of Hidden Secrets

So when I engaged in my first conversation with this Omelet I thought he is too damn handsome to be single and I actually gave him the code name Trouble. That’s how me and my best friend would discuss him. I never used his name.
After a few days of chatting I found out that he had recently separated with his kids mom and I didn’t want to really deal with drama so I kept saying I’m not interested and pushed him away for a good week but he was persistent he wouldn’t let me just walk away.
I figured if someone is trying this hard to get a date why not? So since it was a week before the Thanksgiving Holiday we planned our first date upon my return.
Our first date was dinner and a movie and we continued to go on dates every week after that and the last time I saw him was New Years Day.
Each of our dates he seemed like he had somewhere to be like he was in a hurry meaning he wouldn’t ever stay a full night.
We planned a date the following week but he had to change the time because his “Baby Mama” didn’t have a car and to help her out he was allowing her to use his car.
This happened on several occasions previously where he would be late or just change our original date time.
This was strange to me because why did he feel obligated besides his children to help her so much when they were separated? Things weren’t adding up but yet he kept being persistent with his calls, texts, gifts etc but I still felt irritated about him starting to change his consistency in timeliness.
The last time we had a date planned he said he was gonna be late he mentioned to me he was only helping his “Baby Mamma” until Feb 1 so I said ok well I will resolve this. I told him that I didn’t want to see him until Feb 1st then that way I don’t feel like my relationship is restricted and the time we spend together is free to spend without interruptions.
He absolutely hated it and text me and called me daily to change my mind and I wouldn’t budge I was so proud of myself for the first time I stuck to my guns and I didn’t let a mans words and promises change my mind.
And then….suddenly I was introduced to a website that I won’t name because I will use it for future Omelets that would provide me with all his information previous, past, associates, family members and one of those associates was his “Baby Mama” that I found out was really his WIFE.
Yes this Omelet was Cooped up with papers!!!!
When I asked him, he rolled all the way around in a circle and avoided answering the question entirely when I asked him several times until he just splattered all over the phone.
You know what happened right?

I said Omelethimgo!
Here is what I have to say to you Omelets, if you have something to hide bring it to the surface immediately. Allow me to make the choice on if I want to continue scrambling around in the pan with you.
But DO NOT take my choice away from me. That is the worse thing you can do.

Ladies: Trust your gut and if things don’t add up it’s probably because there’s a few eggs missing from the carton.

Y.O.L.K.
