About Me

 Hello, my name is Jaymie. I am not one of those sappy women whose life goals and ambitions revolve around meeting Mr. Right, getting married, and making babies. But to be honest I have never been particularly good at relationships. The younger version of myself had hoped that I could get it right by now. But, I DIDNT!!!

I remain hopeful and would still like to meet a great guy that thinks the world of me and that I adore. I would still like to find my happily ever after.


I have decided to continue of the roller coaster of dating. I will go on at least one new date a month in an attempt to meet the right guy. If I don’t there will be consequences.

This challenge started in the month of August and will continue until one of two things happens a) I actually meet the right guy b) a string of terrible monthly dates makes me reconsider my stance on relationships and the idea of being the crazy cat lady becomes more appealing. Both possibilities will ensure endless humor.


Thank you for joining me on my adventure.

Crazy Exes

I think of myself as a very rational person.  I understand that relationships end sometimes and an appropriately sad by it.  I have NEVER been a crazy ex.

I have NEVER driven past an ex's house just to see if he was home.
I have NEVER purposely stayed in contact with an ex's friends or family so that I could snoop for information about the ex.
I have NEVER parked my car across the street from an ex's home or work to spy on him.
I have NEVER called from a blocked number hoping that the ex would answer.
I have NEVER changed my number and called an ex hoping that he would answer and we could talk.
I have NEVER damaged an ex's property  (keying his car or egging his house.)
I have NEVER drunk dialed exes.....mostly because I have very good observant friends that thankfully stopped me.
I have NEVER purposely gone to places I know an ex went to.
I have NEVER tried to date an ex's friend in an attempt to make him jealous.
and
I have NEVER posted crazy status updates on Facebook about the ex or breaking up.



Ya know what, some of those things sound like fun.  I am not crazy.  I just think it would be kinda fun to do some old school pranks (nothing destructive.... I am not crazy or mean)
....like order 10 pizzas to be delivered to his house after driving by and confirmed he is there.
or maybe do a pretend drunk dial and say some crazy shit.   The good thing is you are not really drunk so you actually remember what you said.  You could make it seriously funny and come off really crazy and needy.  I wonder if I could be convincing enough.

I know that I would NEVER actually take the time to actually do either of them but it sounds like fun.

Maybe if I had first hand experience with a crazy ex I would feel differently.  I have never been on the receiving side of a crazy ex.  Don't get me wrong, I have met my fair share of crazies.    I just thankfully didn't date the crazies or give them anything more than my phone number.  I do have a great story about one crazy guy I met.  I will have to share later.


 I do have a few friends that have first hand knowledge.  I listen to their stories with a mix of amusement and horror.  They have exes that call years after they broke up  (usually around the holidays).  They have stories about exes driving past their house at 3:00 in the morning,  showing up without being invited to events they were going to be at, calling and begging them to get back together, threatening to hurt themselves, and other crazy shit.

 I know I have NEVER been the crazy ex in any ones story.  I guess I should be glad but I am having mixed feelings.   While it is always nice to be remembered, I guess it is better to be remembered as nice. 

Any thoughts?
