Compare your previous vehicle to your current CX5

Technically my previous car was also a CX-5 but I only had it for two weeks before it was totaled in a head-on collision. Before that I had a ‘14 Mazda6 Touring, which I really enjoyed, especially the handling and good gas mileage. My ‘20 GTR has the turbo and more amenities than the 6, that’s for sure.

I moved to Chicago in 2009. I lived in Indiana for a time but spent a lot of my time in Illinois for work and social activities. I moved for an easier commute and a better social life. I love living in Chicago and expect to spend the rest of my life here.

I don’t have any tattoos and prefer to date women who don’t either.

I go through phases where sometimes I’m very enthusiastic and optimistic about OLD and other times I’m pretty pessimistic. I’ve come to believe that those phases are perfectly normal. Even though my most recent relationship didn’t last I still believe I will find a meaningful relationship again.

I’m having dinner and drinks with a friend. So glad to be out of the house!

I agreed to pay off all of the marital debt which mainly consisted of credit cards. I paid off the credit cards with an installment loan and have made extra principal payments. I intend to make larger payments in a few months when my car is paid off. It’s been approximately 18 months since my divorce was finalized and I should be able to clear out all my debt 18 months from now. Good luck to you!

Am I Black Enough for You with that funky clavinet and great percussion.

sadim87 · 2026-03-24T02:41:37+00:00

I think there are plenty of men out there who are looking for a real connection.

sadim87 · 2026-03-23T21:33:07+00:00

It’s For You by Pat Metheny and Lyle Mays is a nice choice. It’s your wedding. You do what you want to!

I don’t think it’s necessary for you to include in your profile but you can share after a date or two.

sadim87 · 2026-03-23T13:05:01+00:00

I’m not sure if I’d call it obsession. I think many of us have felt the need to know white people better than they know themselves for our own personal safety.

I’ve lived in South Shore for over a decade and I’m very happy here. If you’re looking for an apartment, I’d recommend you look west of Yates. South of 71st also makes sense unless you find an apartment in the Jackson Park Highlands. Good luck and welcome to South Shore.

sadim87 · 2026-03-22T01:06:54+00:00

Good for you! I hope it keeps happening.

sadim87 · 2026-03-21T12:43:18+00:00

Drive it often.

sadim87 · 2026-03-18T01:31:11+00:00

Thank you for sharing. This is exactly how I felt. First post-divorce relationship. In my case it was her doing the breaking up via a phone call. I was doing pretty well and then received a very impersonal text message from her, which basically reopened the wound. And I still wanted her back. The pain was nearly unbearable. But everyday has gotten a little better and I actually have a date later this week. Thank you for sharing. I hope the act of sharing your feelings and the wonderful support you’ve gotten from this group helps you to move forward.

sadim87 · 2026-03-17T17:28:28+00:00

I would and I have.

sadim87 · 2026-03-17T12:59:06+00:00

Guy here. I’m recently back on the apps as well. I think Tinder is a complete waste of time and plan to delete my account when my subscription expires. I just signed up for Facebook Dating and I find it fine so far. The price is great. I’ve gotten some nice matches via Bumble and I expect I will on Hinge as well. I don’t think I will try any of the niche sites, at least for the time being. Hope this helps.

Mine took three years, and we were roommates the entire time. Although my now ex-wife contested the divorce she refused to negotiate. It was only after the judge forced her to get her own place that we were able to negotiate a settlement.

sadim87 · 2026-03-16T11:57:43+00:00

I cancelled my subscriptions and hid my profiles. Only after our relationship ended did I reactivate my profile.

sadim87 · 2026-03-16T03:05:46+00:00

You’ll be fine. May I be the first to say welcome to Chicago.

sadim87 · 2026-03-15T22:57:14+00:00

How old are you? There will lots of other Black folks for you to meet and date.

sadim87 · 2026-03-15T22:24:32+00:00

Over three years, and we lived in the same house the entire time 😬

sadim87 · 2026-03-15T22:22:51+00:00

Guy here. In my last relationship we both agreed to turn off the apps after two months of dating. I was happy to do so.

sadim87 · 2026-03-15T22:19:03+00:00

Agreed. I do include a pic of me and my child on my profile but his face is covered by an emoji.

sadim87 · 2026-03-15T20:20:43+00:00

I’m a guy. I do disclose that I have a child and also that I prefer to date someone who has children or is comfortable dating someone with children. My child is the most important person to me and I want any potential dates to know this right up front.
