We can't be managed. I mean, the day just got away from me.

No.

And I could babysit. I don't know what you're talking about.

Now I just bump into them awkwardly and say, where's the treadmill? Okay, I do that too sometimes, but like.

With panache, you know, with ease, you know, like, hey, where's the bathroom? You know, can you walk me over there? Thank you. I'll get it fixed. I'll do it better next time, you know, whatever. But don't you see? It's like we're unwilling to be vulnerable. Everybody is. Well, not here yet. I have no problem. I'll stand up in the subway and say, hey, anybody getting off at X spot?

Yes. Okay, why? Because you have a lens, you have a filter, right? that is constantly on high, that says, they're not going to get me, they're going to put me down, they're going to ignore me, they're going to pity me. And if that is sort of in the emotional undercurrent within you, then it'll amplify everything.

The fact that he asked you the three times is already not saying I want to be your husband, but it is saying I would like to do that. So it's authentic. I think he's asking from just my sense about it, from a very authentic place. And so build on it. Just get to know him.
