Welcome to my new thought experiment. Intended as a rigorous exercise in self-reflection, The Complete Guide to Jazmin started off as a joke. I was single and frustrated with dating. I thought, if only I could hand a guy “The Complete Guide to Jazmin Casing,” maybe he could just read through it, decide if he’d like to get to know me better, then continue to use the guide to court and delight me.

I thought of it as a joke because how could one ever encapsulate herself in a convenient written guide that would help people to deal with her in the ways she prefers most. Or could she?

Stay tuned for more…
