It's Not That Bad

Let me begin by apologizing for my absence. However, I have been extremely busy and it’s hard to find time for your hobbies when you are trying to juggle work, family, friends, and of course, dating. So, in order for me to continue writing I have to eliminate a few things. With that said, I am pleased to announce that I’ve quit my job and will only stay in contact with the family and friends who have lent me money over the past year (how else will the bills get paid, it’s not like I have a job! And I know you didn’t think I was giving up dating – how else is a girl supposed to eat!) HAHAHAHAHA—JUST KIDDING! The kids don’t need help with their homework, I spoke to my mom yesterday, I never bring work home, and uhhhh yeah I’m pretty dateless tonight.

This does bring up a very good discussion topic that many of us single girls can relate to. With so much to juggle in life, is being a jump-off so bad (HA bet you didn’t see that one coming!)? Hold on, hold on---let me explain, or better yet, let me set the stage. You’ve got a busy Saturday ahead of you. You have errands to run in the morning, a girls luncheon in the afternoon, and your latest guy’s birthday celebration at night. Unfortunately for you, you’re a hot ass and experimenting with the newbie is just not going to get it. You’ll have about 4 hours to spare between the luncheon and the birthday celebration AND you’ll be in an old fling’s neighborhood who you know can get the job done. Do you:

A. Jump off with the old fling
B. Jump in with the new fling
C. Jump off with yourself
D. Get your hot ass in a cold shower (does that really work?)

If I had to choose, (and this would be purely hypothetical because I am not that type of girl – I mean if this were for real I would clearly choose C), but I would pick A. I’m just saying—ok, so there’s like a .00000001 % chance that he’s calling you the next day (or the next month for that matter) but he got the job done, is there really a reason to hear from the guy again? There’s a reason he’s an old fling, and lucky for you it’s not because he couldn’t perform in the bedroom.

There are other situations where being a jump-off would be beneficial. I can give the PTA-meeting scenario, the lunch-break scenario, the “I’m-cooking-dinner-right-now-but-if-you-could-meet-me-out-front-in-10-minutes-that-would-be-great” scenario. There are plenty of scenarios – hypothetically speaking of course.

At any rate, for some people other things may take priority, which leaves little time for starting a serious relationship. In such a situation, is playing a jump-off role so bad?
