Date With a Lawyer

So he's a few years younger than me, a lawyer/attorney, real estate broker, slum lord, cute boy.  Sounds like a power house.  A year ago he was wearing a suit on his profile picture, said that he was only into casual dating, yet all the questions he answered on OKC were marriage related questions.  I asked him what he was looking for, and he didn't have a straight answer.  This guy sounded like a hot mess.  Of course that had intrigued me about him, but not enough to do anything about it.

Recently we reconnected.  So we met up on Sunday.

I asked what was the hardest thing that he had to over come in his life...  and he said it was a break-up.  He said that people in their 40's to 60's could have a divorce, and the females can bounce back, but that kind of thing can debilitate men.  Make them unable to function in other parts of their lives.

The hardest thing for me?  That would be things like grad school, or moving back to America from Japan.  Etc.  Yes, the break-ups were incredibly hard.  I remember when Mr. B and I had broken up at the end of the semester...  my laundry was piled up, and I cried all day - It was something Mr. B was more comfortable doing.  And I just couldn't do it.  I broke down.  So pathetic.  So strange to think of that back then.

But feeling shitty for months or years wouldn't equate to the other challenges in life that I had to over come.  The super duper accomplished Mr. Lawyer dude...  jobs and school are easy for him -  NOT a big deal, but break ups are hard for him...  like how it was for me and you and my ex.

A million thanks to Mr. Lawyer dude - menfolks - they're not so evil as I thought they were.  I'm going to regret not going through with this guy...
