Text after text, Jaelyn questioned the world of dating in her era. What was the concept coming to when a simple text of disrespectful proportions was deemed as lustful?

'Last night...damn. wanna hook up again? oh and send me some nudes to get through the day?."

Nudes to get through the day? What kind of woman found this sexy from a stranger and not rude? Jae felt lost in this new dating age she was now apart of. Something had to give. Until then, tonight marked date number five for missed connections in the longing city of Los Angeles.

Andrew was everything any lucky woman could have searched for, and somehow he landed on Jaelyn's dating pool radar.

After a troublesome series of ineligible bachelors, night after night sometimes, Jae was ready to give up. She found love more often in that of a puppy in the window of a pet store, then on the other end of a dining table. It was no mystery to her the lack of redeemable charming men, but tonight Jae hit the jackpot with that category.

Andrew was welcoming,talkative, expressive, polite and damn was he sweet on the eyes. He was perfect; someone Jae could see herself with somewhere down the road, you know in the distant future. But why was he still single? The question haunted her has she analyzed the many reasons for his lack of love.

She grabbed her semi filled glass of red, sweet wine, and brought it to her lips. "So, Andrew," she took a small sip, "tell me something, how long have you been single for? I mean a guy like you doesn't really show up on the market too often," she laughed flirtatiously.

He smiled wide, showing his pearly whites , an aspect of his features Jae couldn't help but perk up from. "Well, Jaelyn," he grabbed his beer and tipped it towards her, "I just haven't found the right woman who shares what I want in life."

She tried to pre-analyze him to see what it could be that he had a hard time sharing; a small house in downtown, a job with long hours, a crappy car that no woman wished to be caught dead in, mommy issues, the list could go on forever. Unfortunately, Jae knew a number of different scenarios that could have been the demise to his connections since she's experienced most of them in her six year search.

"And what's that?" she smiled, in hopes of hearing something workable between the two of them.

"A blessing from God of children," he grinned wide as he stared in her eyes.

It was sweet really. She loved that he was religious in that aspect, but she feared his answer of children. It was an option she wished to explore in the distant future. She was still young, even if others didn't deem so.

"Children, huh?" Jae tried to smile sincerely. She didn't wish for a far future scenario to be something she would lose this charming man who she could possibly have a wonderful future with some day over. "Well, that's not something to run away from. Children are wonderful. What woman wouldn't want children someday, am I right?" She tilted her glass and took another sip, the feeling of the warmness overtaking her stomach. As the words came out she questioned the truth of own her inquisition. She was sure many, and she might have been one of them.

His dimples stared back at her, as he grabbed a fry and put it to his mouth. His lips were amazing Jae thought. Ones she wished she could taste. "Someday, sure," he smiled. "but, I don't have someday. I want them now." Jae frowned as the statement made no affect on him yetdid so greatly on her.

"Now?" She choked on a piece of broccoli. Now was not the answer she expected. One day, in the near future, after marriage, any of those would have been deemed as useful to progress. But, now, that was something Jae was sure she wasn't ready for. She was still in a questionable transition of how she felt about children and wasn't ready to figure it out right then and there.
