When you’re ready - you’re READY?!
Wow, another grueling day at work - I have to go into work tomorrow - my day off. Not good at all. BAD BAD BAD. I am not happy.
Ok, food. I actually went to Whole Foods this morning and picked up some scrambled eggs, two bacon strips, 1 sausage piece, a tablespoon of tunafish, guacamole and salsa. I didn’t eat it all - half of the eggs - but I did eat all of the meat products. Not cool. I thought, ‘This is how a NORMAL person can have breakfast if she wants to’ as I scooped the stuff into a container. But at the same time, I thought about how dangerous food can be and not being on my diet means I could gain weight. I bought it anyway and decided to just eat half. I drank a whole pint of organic orange/tangerine juice. A big no no on the diet - can you believe the audacity? At lunch, I had a few bites of the regular lean green and felt very unsatisfied. Then I asked for a sliver of cheesecake and enjoyed it. WTF? Gosh, I’m worried about weighing in tomorrow….
The date
He was waiting for me with a single red rose in his hand! Can you believe that? Wow, so sweet! He held my hand immediately and told me how good I looked (I looked like hell today, trust me). We watched Darjeeling Limited while holding hands. It was nice - at a few times during the movie I felt that I coulda kissed him because he was so sweet. Afterwards we walked to a Korean restaurant (he didn’t plan dinner) and got chicken (ugh) & kimchi soup. During dinner, he tells me that he has to tell me that he’s really into me and he asks me if I would be his girlfriend. I was shocked but very flattered. He also tells me that he wants to have a family and he’s ready to settle down. He really likes me and feels that I’m the person he’s looking for. I didn’t know what to say. Wow, no one has ever said that to me - EVER! Can you imagine? I told him that I liked him too and would like to spend more time with him. I told him that I need to take it slow and he told me that he didn’t want to scare me off - but he knows what he wants and he wanted to tell me how he feels. It was wild. The man told me that I was sexy, smart, kind and ‘the most real person I’ve ever met’. OK. DAMN. He said he’ll take it as slow as I want and he can’t wait to see me again. We hugged goodbye and I kissed him on his cheek. Shit, I don’t know what to think. LA says that when a man is ready, he’ll know right away when he meets someone. I know we’ve been talking all week - but by goodness - we had one date last Friday! Damn, I guess he’s more ready than I am! He’s a good guy. We talked more about money (I really need to know how much this man makes a year) - he invests agressively, he has a savings account, he has 5000 dollars of credit card debt and his credit score is in the 700’s. I didn’t ask him how much he makes a year, but we’re not too far off… 
I will definitely find out prior to becoming intimate. Wow, I never knew how much my last boyfriend made - somehow - like I’ve said before - we would rather share bodily fluids than talk about money. Somehow money is more intimate than sex? WTF? I pretty much told him that I need to know what I’m getting myself into and that at this age - I’m looking for a husband and father to my kids. I’ve got no time for smoke screens. We laughed a lot and enjoyed each other’s company. I’m a little attracted to him - I feel good about him. He’s a good guy. A bit intense but I can get to know him better. Wow, me sexy? Can you believe it? Don’t worry - I’m not gonna get snowed by some compliments. I’m gonna take the time to get to know him. But I am stunned - it’s also a little weird for me too.
Ok, I’d better go to bed. Meanwhile, I got another e-card from Salesman. I didn’t open it - I’ll look at it tomorrow. What could it be? He sent me an electronic birthday card - wishing me well and I thanked him for it via e-mail. He gave me a few compliments (amazing) and said that I wasn’t far from his thoughts. I thought that was really classy of him. Remember those flowers he gave me? That guy was very sweet too - he just didn’t make any money.
I wish work didn’t suck so bad. I can’t get excited about this weekend with the girls because work is freaking me out…..

For future info digging: I’d hope for no credit card debt, but let’s be realistic. Invests agressively—in what? Are we talkin individual stocks, mutual funds, the futures game, T bills, or property? Are his investmemts diversified? Is he earning more on investments than he’s paying on those credit card interest charges each month? Is his house paid for? If not, what kind of mortgage obligation does he have and for how many more years? Does he fully fund his IRA or Roth each year? Is he vested at work? Is his car paid for, still owed on, or a rental? How long has he held his job, has he been promoted or is he likely to be?
Good luck…..

Wow, sounds like he really likes you. I agree that taking it slow is the best way to go, but at least you know what your dealing with. I mean at least he isnt wishy washy about how he feels.
