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

Got a text this a.m. from zoobrew saying "looking forward to tonight :)" We texted back and forth a little...I let him leave the last one! I DO have a baby to tend to, lol!

Talked to zoobrew for a couple of hours last night....after a rough start of phone tag! highlights..


1)He said he was so sorry for all the interruptions...that he was so looking forward to this call all weekend

2)He cooks- like REALLY cooks! souffles, wine-butter-mushroom sauces, etc.

3)He LOVES FOOD- ALL KINDS-loves to eat!

4)He said I didn't have to arrange for such an expensive date, (I never said anything about it! Did he look it up online?) that he would have been happy to go for a hike...so he will take care of dinner. I told him that I always wanted to do this and it looked like fun and since he wanted to do it, too, then it made for a great date idea!

5)He said he can completely read me: that I wear my heart on my sleeve, like he does, that I talk fast when I am nervous, that I am guarded, that I am attracted to him- he insists I WAS THE ONE who reached in for the kiss! I DIDN'T!


6)A couple of times he told me to be myself, not to pretend to like something he does, that part of getting to know each other is learning likes and dislikes....

I was a little confused because I WAS being myself! I am going to ask him about that tonight...I truly do get a good sense of people when I meet them, that my ex also didn't like seafood and also was not an adventurous eater, that I also tried to save my marriage, that I also liked the same beer, the same wine, the same views as far as not being materialistic and snobby about stuff...

I mean all of these things are just silly superficial stuff that is fun to have in common with someone, but not super important!

So he asked if we wanted to carpool or meet there...I thought it was funny that he didn't ask to pick me up at my house.

I agreed to carpool and then we had a very painful discussion of where to meet, at this street and this street, and it was painful because I am terrible with directions! I told him so! But he kept referencing Blockbuster and I had never been to that one! So I was laughing and he was making fun of me--but talk about me being myself for goodness sake! He then asked me if we could take my car because his is too big to park where we are going. So I said yes and wondered if he would be willing to drive...he emphatically said yes- because he would be miserable not driving while I got us lost! lol! DIRECT isn't he?
