There have been times in my life when I, like most people at one time or another, have taken the path of least resistance.

Relationships & Family > The Single Life If people say I am such a great catch, how come love remains illusive: 1 of 16
I often hear that I'd one day make a wonderful husband for some lucky woman. I have a great job with a stable work history, I allocate time to under privileged children, I'm adequate in the kitchen, more than adequate in the bedroom, and for a bachelor, I keep a fairly clean house.I've received accolades for my community invo...
