I've just recently began talking to someone, and he seems great so far...funny, stable, has a job, a house, and isn't looking to get married tomorrow ( perfect, so far ) We've progressed to talking on the phone, and have plans for this Sat. ( which I'm looking forward to ) We've been getting along great, so far, and seem to have a lot in common.
Here is the strange part...Just in general conversation, I asked him what sign he was. It happened to be the same as my ex's. Then the next day over the phone, I told him that I needed his e-mail address to mail him something cute. When he gave it to me, I said I'll never remember all those numbers. He says to me....it's just my birthdate. Imagine my surprise, and his....when it happened to be identical ( even to the year ) as my ex's. This isn't the end....we were both married 23 years before divorce, and married in the same year.
This seems very strange to me...it seems like one coincidence after another. I'm not sure if I should run, or stay and see how it plays out...
I'm curious what you all think of this. Fiction is strange...real life is stranger !!!

I'm sure it's not my ex... he doesn't know how to turn on a computer. Besides, I've talked to him on the phone, his sense of humor is better than the ex's. I already did the Anywho thing, and he is who he says he is....it even comes up on caller ID. This is a small town area, and he knows teachers and such, in the town he lives in which is very close to me.
It has both of us baffled that it's all such a coincidence. The one thing different is that he has a grandson, and I have a grandaughter.
We are both hoping that things go as well for us in person.
I don't see an emotion face for fear !!!

Moon.. look at it as a positive thing rather then being afraid of it.
My fiance and I were the same.. so many similarities.. one right after another came popping up as we discovered more about each other... we were so awed and blown away by it... that is the reason we connected so well... because of our similarities.. and the way we looked at it was... Oh yes.. we were meant for each other..... 
Maybe you could look at it in that light also

No offense Moon, but after you make sure it's not your ex (great thought on that Aselune), stop worrying about the "signs". You'll drive yourself nuts. Besides, you stated he said he's not ready to get hitched just yet, so what are you concerned for? It's a first date, so enjoy it for what it is.

You guys are great....and full of good advice. Maybe this is something worth looking into. ( I know for sure it's not the ex, as I would know his voice in my sleep ) Your right...it's a first date, and there is nothing to be afraid of. He's every bit as independent as I am. I've just never had anything like this happen...
I'm usually a very rational person ( I have to be, it's my job )
But this is blowing me away. Maybe it's just been that long since I've been blown away by anyone.
Oh, by the way....we are both remodeling our homes. He's building a new living room, and I have my kitchen torn up, to put in a breakfast bar between the living, room and kitchen.
We both love nautical things.... I do lighthouse collection, and he does sailboats.
I am just going to have to go learn more. This is the first time since my divorce, that I actually have felt excited. I usually don't care ( kinda sad to say, but true ) This is completely not me. I feel like I'm 16... lol....I haven't even told my children about him....they will think I'm crazy.
I'll let you all know what happens after Saturday...this could be nothing.... Please send a well wish for us...it's either too good to be true, or it's wrong. Either way...I appreciate his outlook on life, and he has certainly made me laugh in the past few days.
Thank you...sheesh, I never belonged to a forum before this...kinda nice to be able to vent to you all, and yes...I realize I'm rambling !!!

It wouldn't hurt to somehow try and find out if he and your ex might happen to know each other!
I just tend to be over cautious.

I don't believe in coincidences. I believe everything happens for a reason. Go with the flow MoonBeam and just see what happens, and how things feel when you get together.
Even if he has a lot in common with your first husband, he is not your first husband. Maybe things will be better "the second time around" even if he is a lot like the ex.
Just make sure if you fall for this guy, you're falling for him and not for what originally made you fall for your first husband. Even though you're divorced, you were with your ex for 23 years...that's along time, and there must have been something good about him or I don't think you would have married him.
So when you're with your date, pay attention to who is who if you know what I mean. Good luck.

Well it's not ironic, but it is a coincidence.
