While Jenny is away I’m highjacking her her blog to share some thoughts of my own. Hi, my name is Jack, and I am single LDS male in my late-twenties.

First of all, I want all you girls to know how expensive it is for us guys to take you out. I’m just getting started in life, and I don’t necessary have the budget to spend $50-100 every time I want to see you. Anyway, just understand our limits. And I never mind it if you just order a small salad.

Now that’s said, I want to share another frustration with dating. Moms. They are keeping me from dating their daughters. And it’s not because they don’t like me. In fact, it’s actually the opposite. They love me. You’d think that be a good thing, right? It would be—if only the girl loved me too.

Yup, it’s not until I meet the mom that it all starts going downhill.  I don’t know why. I got that adorable thing going on. I’m personable. I look people in the eye when I talk to them. I’m on a professional career path. Even my hair is short and neat, and I don’t have any tattoos. I smile a lot.

I can only suppose that in some sort of rebellion, girls don’t trust their mothers. Maybe I should become some sort of badass, or maybe I should just set my sights on older women.

**So if you want to date Jenny, don’t worry about her mother, Jenny won’t introduce you to her until it’s safe to do so. Oh, and keep in mind that moms love Jenny too.
