I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

OK need a little dating advice...I am kinda rusty you know!

Last night, I still hadn't heard from zoobrew so I kept getting this feeling that I should reach out.

I wasn't going to because he has his kids this week and made some comment or 2 last time I saw him about how he focuses 100% on his kids when they are there.

I mean we ARE going on a second date for sure, but something kept telling me that I should text or call him!

So I did send a friendly text that said something like hello and looking forward to setting up our kayaking adventure~

He he replied in French at first then I asked him how he was and he said he just got back from a late night walk with the kiddos and is about to settle in for a late night movie with them.

Well I smiled so big when I read that! I thought "awww! What a fun dad!I never got to do that kind of stuff with my dad!"

So I replied something like that the kids were lucky and to have a good evening.

He replied that last night he had them in bed by 9, but since it was summer, and since he has the kids every other week, he makes the most of the time he has with them.

I wondered if he misinterpreted my comment since he sounded a bit defensive (DAMN TEXTING!) so I just replied with something like Absolutely, the summer's great! I won't keep texting you but have a good night!

He replied with "please don't feel that you are intruding...You're not! :)"

So I didn't reply because 1) I didn't want to keep texting him while he was with his kids, watching a movie 2)How many times do you say "Good Night" 3) I really was pretty tired 4)I don't want to come on too strong and push him away!

Last Friday when we briefly chatted, we kind of mentioned something about maybe going out this Wed. I said that I could get babysitting, he said he could talk to his ex, and then he said "well we can figure it out later!" I might have said "Ok let's touch base soon!" and that was that.

NOW MY QUESTIONS- Was I supposed to be the one to call him next since he called me on Friday? Is it too late now to ask him if he can do it tomorrow night? Should I wait for him to call me next?

I did set up possible babysitting (just in case but can cancel no problem)

Thank you! Being married is easier than dating, I swear! (har har- you guys of all people know I am kidding)
