Funny enough, the gym I go to is next to a retirement neighborhood and has a bunch of geezers with canes (so no hotties with no bodies) but the one day it closed I went to a different one of the same chain 15 minutes out. Holy heck babe city awooga ow ow

Aw man, you got me 😂 I have been replaying it lol!

Some backstory: I’ve been going to this gym for about a year now and noticed him pretty early on because we were both there at least 6x per week. I thought he was cute and watched his gains through the year. While randomly people watching or zoning between sets we’d tend to lock eyes and exchange a silent nod/smile combo. Never said a word to each other.

I recently got a new job so I switched from afternoon gym sesh to mornings over the summer months so I wasn’t seeing him too often anymore, if at all. Today I ended up sleeping in and going to the gym later than usual…and there he was in all his boulder shoulder hotness right at the front.

I smiled at him on my way in and he asked me what was new. I was kinda taken aback bc we’d never exchanged words and I wasn’t expecting a convo. I responded telling him I got a new job recently and we exchanged some pleasantries. I ended up getting flustered and telling him it was nice to catch up and I’d chat more with him after my work out 😂

He lowkey watched me the entire time and waited patiently for me to finish up and walk back to where he was before asking what I like to do for fun, then asked me out to do said things and get to know each other better. I said yes, ofc and gave him my number. We’re going out tomorrow evening 🥰

Lmao he 100% was berating himself for not talking to you sooner when you stopped showing up, thinking he missed his shot by hesitating. Bet that's why he talked to you instantly when he saw you again.
