"I don't go where I'm not invited' - Blackface Tweets

Blackface and 2face were best buds for many years. They formed a band in the 90's, churned out hits after hits, and were doing really well until 2004 when 2face went solo. Sad they didn't stay friends!

Dear readers: My girlfriend said no to my marriage proposal

From a male

I proposed to my girlfriend a few days ago and her answer to me was 'she's not ready to settle down'. What I find odd is that she's 29. How can a 29 year old lady not be ready to settle down? We've been dating for about 11 months and I thought we were at a good place that's why I proposed. Her answer took me by surprise and I'm wondering if she really isn't ready for marriage or she's just not interested in marrying me? This is confusing to me. Please help.
