00:00Hi Essence.com! We are live at the 2014 Essence Festival here in New Orleans. I'm Charlie Penn.
00:11I'm Sharia Jackson and we are your Essence Love Squad. And you are watching Ask a Brother.
00:16What's your favorite thing to see a woman wear in the summertime? Shorts. I love to see the legs.
00:22Do something like this, something bright, like I don't know, really bright colors and something
00:27loose and show off the figure a little bit. Something that's attractive but not too
00:32revealing. Let the man guess a little bit. Something nice and sexy. Very nice and
00:37sexy and sharp. Nice little sun dresses. Nice pedicure. Something that looks
00:45elegant and yet sexy at the same time. Alright, you said pedicure. Are you a tow man? I think I am.
00:51Fling. Summer Fling at Essence Festival. Is that a do or a don't? It could be a do. It depends on who it is.
01:00Summertime, have fun, let your hair down and do things you don't regret. It's a do. It's a do. I'll tell you why.
01:07You're a grown adult. Okay? So if you know what you want, go and do it. You only live one time.
01:12Alright. We have a couple right here who met last year at Essence Festival. So Essence Festival is your matchmaker. Tell us about it.
01:19Yeah, Essence Festival is awesome to meet people. If you're single, you better come out here and meet your little boo.
01:24I don't because I'm married, but... Wife is listening. Be good.
01:28She's right behind us. Get out the house. Come to Essence. Go out and network. Meet guys. Pass out some business cards. Do what you got to do because he passed. He handed me his business card. That's how it started. And I handed it right back and said, no bad. You need to call me. So get out there. Your boo's not going to come to you.
01:42Where are we finding the loving and the flirting and the romance? Well, first of all, the flirting goes on just walking down the street. Okay, here. So it doesn't matter.
01:49A nice little boat ride. Oh, man. Right here on the river walk. The perfect place. Late night strolls. Laid back restaurant. Good music, jazz. I like to flirt in a woman's ear. That's my favorite place to flirt. The best answer yet to that question.
