Oops- I made a typo during my post about zipliner...I meant that when I talked about there NOT being such a thing as soulmates, zipliner didn't agree with me...he said he wasn't so sure about that and that some people are so unique that there is one person for them and that he is a romantic at heart. But I am dating for fun, so who cares, right?

Ok so Rugby, 33, (Zipliner and Zoobrew are 44) had been married for 10 years. His wife was very materialistic and got into designer purses, designer shoes, money, status, etc. She was very much a homemaker and he said she was good looking and all but didn't have much substance.

He said that he wasn't looking for a girl...he wanted a woman who knew herself and knew what she wanted and that he had "been there,done that" in the military...slept around, got his fill...now sex isn't his number one priority. He wants to connect and have good conversation with someone!


Something that impressed me with Rugby is that he reflected on what he could have done different in his marriage. He also has goals for self improvement. He started his business 6 years ago and wants to retire in 6 years. He listens to news on talk radio and is up to date on current events. I didn't know if I was but we had a discussion about the diamond trade and it seemed like I knew "enough" to have discourse with him!

So I said at the end "let's meet! How about Tuesday of next week?" and he said he could and said he would talk to me again before then. I said yes maybe sometime this weekend and he said he would be texting me. DOWN BOY!!! EAGER! But I bet I will make out with him on our date! lol! well, IF he likes me in person and he finds me attractive- especially because I don't know if he is only into size 6s, you know? Ha ha, now I want him to like me!

Next thing....honestly I don't feel the desire to meet other men after these guys. I want to go out with them and then whatever happens is the end for now. Then, the next time I get out there, I will be dating for a relationship! When I will be ready and willing to have my heart broken! Oh but I will be taking my time looking for MUTUAL chemistry and if I feel it but the other fella doesn't then I don't want that fella! I want someone who will think I am amazing and that I will find amazing! Let's be picky about important, simple things, not my stupid checklist that I had before...
