Taylor Swift serial dates...turns breakups and mash-ups into songs - and STILL there is a line of young eligible men just WAITING to take her out.  And have her buy a mansion near them.  And  have her meet their parents.  And then break up with them.

Here is a list of her songs and how they apply to her exes, according to Wiki:  http://taylorswift.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Taylor_Swift's_ex-boyfriends 

And this is cute:  http://gawker.com/5965470/who-has-taylor-swift-dated-a-brief-history-of-all-the-men-in-the-universe

But really nothing against Taylor.  Dudes like her.  She's blond and 21 or something.  But I have an issue:

Even though I don't write Tell All books, I have no such line of guys. (wait, maybe it's because I write this blog.  Geesh)

I retract.  I have the checker at Binny's who thought I looked much younger than I am.  I have the framer that we use...he's a doll and I always get a kiss on the cheek.  I have the older gentlemen in our booster club that think I rock at picking great food for them to eat.

But, I have no one my own age.

And here is why.  (I've analyzed this - so sorry if it gets too heavy)

Even outside of the fact that I'm a single mom, blah blah blah, I have a really hard time knowing when a dude is into me.  Ya know?  My mom used to tell me that guys should hit me over the head with a pan.  My life is full of comedy and i try to keep it light...so a lot gets lost in the shuffle.  There aren't many times that I let someone "IN".  And then when I think "maybe," something inevitably happens and I go into self doubt mode.

And my self doubt mode destroys me.  I've had too many men in my life doing things when they were doing other things.

Have a work issue that is preventing you from keeping a date?  I think you're walking away and needed an excuse.

Classic, right?  Because every intelligent man needs an excuse to get rid of me. (NOT the way I think...just to add emphasis.)

I think I'm going to start recording tunes...my name will be JEM.
