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.

Two Almost Dates

So this week I am that glorious thing called SPRING BREAK.   I love it.  I decided to be a little productive and volunteered at the Make-A-Wish office for two days.  I also had two dates lined up.  Did you notice the use of the past tense?

The first one was with this guy that I met on OkStupid.  We had been emailing for a bit when he suggested going out.  He said, "I think its time for us to grab a coffee, talk, flirt, and maybe kiss."  I thought his casual confidence was attractive.  Last Friday, we were texting and made plans to meet for breakfast on Sunday.  I suggested a place in Burbank.  He agreed and I said I would send the address.  Well, It totally slipped my mind.  So Saturday afternoon I text the address and casually ask how his day is going.  No response.  Saturday night and still no response.  I wasn't sure if we were still on for the next morning. 

Sunday morning, I send a text asking if we were still on for breakfast.  He replayed 20 minutes later apologizing for not feeling well and needing to cancel.  He said he didn't want to get me sick. Ok so no breakfast date....at least I could go back to sleep.  

I text back telling him to feel better.  He sent me a text the next day and we have talked a bit over the week.  He tried to reschedule our date for this weekend and asked about Friday night or Saturday morning.  I am busy Saturday morning.  So our rescheduled date is tentatively set for Friday but he also mentioned something about needing to make sure he could move something.  But if he cancels I will not reschedule. 

I also had a blind date set for tonight.  We had text a bit and arranged to meet at a restaurant in Burbank at 7:30.  Yesterday, he sent a nice text confirming the date and said he looked forward to meeting me.  This morning he sent a text to say have a great day.  We text a bit and he confirmed the time and location.  I was volunteering today at the Make-A-Wish office in West La.  I left there a little after 5:30 knowing that I would have to sit in some traffic to get over to Burbank.  I finally got there at 7:15, parked, and looked at my phone.  There was a text from him sent at 5:46 that said "I'm really sorry but can I get a rain check for tonight.  I won't be able to make it."  Ahhhh.  Why didnt I check my texts? 

So this week I had two almost dates.  My question is does TWO almost dates equal the ONE date of the month quota? 

I think YES.

    Fuck you. ONE date. Thats all you need. Not two allllmost dates...one. real. Date.

    And if guy #1 flakes, is it really "flaking" if the date was only tentative?
