| Warts and All |
| 07.16.08 (2:54 pm) [edit] |

Mr. Orlando asked me several questions today that certainly lends itself toward him hoping to get me to move to O-Town. He said "You mentioned you wanted to continue with your consulting business, why not open up shop down here?" I replied that I've spent more than 10 years developing my contacts/reputation here in Atlanta - and there is no where near the business opportunity there. His 'career' is totally flexible. In fact, he's not even sure what job he wants to do in the future. He was surprised at that statement. Atlanta's much more economically diverse and populated. And I am NOT moving my ass to Orlando. Ever. Then he asked some other questions. I'm not completely disillusioned, but I'm beginning to see some warts. |

...however, this does bode well for the possibility that: a. there is in fact, a right person out there somewhere; and b. you may run into him when you least expect it.

I haven't thrown him out. He has said that he'd do anything for the woman he loved. He's willing to make it work. (If I'm that woman...) It does seem 'easier' for me to sell my house and uproot myself rather than him moving his exwife, her girlfriend and his son here. But he's never been particularly attached to Orlando, he's grown up all over the place, and his exwife's life is rather flexible. So, we'll see. It's only been a month.

I'm not abandoning hope. It's still early. I believe that things happen for a purpose and maybe he is the future love of my life, maybe not. I am sure there's a reason for this. I'm learning to be accommodating - as I've said I'd never date a man with a child.

It's sort of amusing - the things that are the biggest issues with me about him - smoking - he doesn't see as a road-block - he insists it's something he'll change. I'm a 'fixer' as he puts it, so if relocation becomes an issue - I'll fix it. ;)

I guess the smoking would be the 'bellweather' then.

Hmmmm - he needs to "fix" a few things too though - It definitely takes two to make it work.

Yep. It's an absolute deal-breaker. Gotta see some improvements next month when we rendezvous, otherwise, I'm going to be more vocal about things.

Funny thing is, he doesn't see anything wrong with me that needs to be fixed. (My own list for myself is quite long...) And that he sees me as imperfectly perfect concerns me - there's got to be some things. Well, he doesn't like that I won't eat crap for food - he's one of those that can quit drinking soda and lose 25 lbs in a month or two. I haven't touched a potato, pizza, pasta, or anything close to that in years. And it's not fair!

Yes my hubby is like that - men seem to get quite a few more advantages than us gals. :/
