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.

Dating Analogies

During my dating lifetime I have heard many different dating analogies.
Such as.....

-Men are like parking spots. All the good ones are taken.
and
-Finding the right man is like finding the perfect pair of shoes. You have to try several shoes out until you find the one that fits just right.

These analogies may have elements of truth to them but dating is also a lot like interviewing for a job. Both require a great deal of preparation to put your best face forward and make a good impression, often make you nervous, and include many different questions about yourself and past experiences.  

I also used to think dating is like fishing.  In order to catch a fish or a date you need to get yourself out there and wait for something to catch on your line.  You want to catch the prettiest fish in your pond. Dating can be very slippery and some guys are just slimy. 

But maybe dating is more like house hunting.  The good ones are not on the market for long, it is time consuming, and hard to find the perfect model that takes into account all your “wants and needs”. 

 What do you think?

    I call bullshit. We are good ones, and we've been in the market forever!!!

      Just to clarify.....I was thinking more about men when I said the good ones are not on the market long. Thanks Elizabeth and Raul!

      Elizabeth, I think I might be more of a fixer upper. I am not very good at the whole relationship thing...... I need a guy that understands that.

    I'd say the as you become older and wiser, you can see through the BS that you'd fall for when you were young. You probably no longer fall for any slick lines or sweet comments that you were susceptible to years before.

    I'll use the house analogy and say that the houses available may not have that new home feel, but the have personality, character, charm, and flaws that make them really unique. You just have to find the house that is your home.

      LOL. I think what you mean is that as we get older we become more jaded and less doe eyed....at least that's the way I would say it, blunt and to the point. but I like the way you worded it.

      Thanks for your comment. I liked your take and input on my house analogy.
