Seems to "lose guys"

Confession #1:  I really love the Movie How To Lose A Guy in Ten Days.  Total chick flick.  I know. 

Confession #2:  If I could look like Kate Hudson in that yellow dress she wears in the movie I would be REALLY, REALLY tempted to wear it.  However, I understand that it is not modest and so I will refrain.  

Confession #3:  I think that I am better at losing guys than keeping them, and my endings are rarely like the one in this movie.  For some reason they don't actually come running back to me. Could it be because I don't actually look like Kate Hudson and that life isn't really like the movies.  Possibly.  

Today I was thinking about how often I lose things that matter to me.  I lose things all the time.  Trivial Things:  my keys, a piece of jewelry, the book I was just reading, clothing items, the phone number I wrote down that I needed to remember for work.  Most of these items can be found in a timely matter with a little bit of backtracking and searching. . . . and othertimes they just have to replaced.  

On the other hand the things that matter most, like people, are harder to get back once they are lost and then all I am left with is the backtracking and taking every step again to see if there is any possible way I can get them back. 

them = guys I  meet or go out with

I am sure this isn't healthy, but I do think it is human and maybe, just maybe one of these days I'll get to a point where I am so with it that I don't actually lose things and actually have a "successful relationship" that lasts longer than 10 days, or 4 dates.  

When I am successful I am going to write a post that is titled:  

How to catch and keep a guy for Eternity.  

Don't hold your breath waiting for the post.  

It could be a while. . . . like an eternity. 

Post Edit #1:  I know that this movie came out years ago, it just popped into my memory this morning because one of the songs on my i-tunes was from the movie
Post Edit #2:  I have been racking my brain trying to think of ways that the said yellow dress could be made modest.  There are none.  If you added sleeves and a back to this it would not be cute.
Post Edit #3:  I don't have a body like Kate Hudson so even if I could make this dress magically modest it wouldn't help my "losing guys" problem, so I should probably stop coveting (the body and the dress)
