Hot gym guy gave me his number

Okay....so been making very small talk with hot guy at gym, but today we stopped and chatted for a while, he was leaving and I was arriving. Anyway, he asked me what time I was coming in tomorrow and I said around 11ish, but he said he was coming early. Then he said 'maybe we could train together", I sort of smiled and said "yeah", he asked me if I was on "insta", this made me laugh as I think he is a lot younger than I am. I said no and then he said "how about WhatsApp". I said yes and then next thing you know he is giving him number and I am shaking whilst trying to remember how to add a contact in my phone. This sort of thing does not happen to me.... What do I do now? Message, not message, wait a few days. The "incident" occurred this morning, ha ha ha

Good morning all ! Could I have first dibs in asking him if his dad is single and do they look alike ? 😉🤣
Forget the ID ! As long as he's not coming to the gym after school ... 😳😳

Lovin' this thread in someone else' life

I am going to feel embarrassed if I see him at the gym tomorrow,

How would you feel if you had slept together? Might it stop you going to the gym?

How can you rule out that he is the kind that 'perform' sex (with one eye on him self in the mirror) rather than find out what you really enjoy?

Sorry to be a wet blanket. These are the questions I wish I had asked myself, back in the day.

Some great questions @FinallyHere. I'm always overthinking and questioning. This time I am just going to sew what happens and not overthink. I may decide there is no chemistry and therefore no shenanigans, but until then I am still in the game

notmethenwho · 26/06/2021 08:32

OP you better send that guy a "good morning!" Message. Don't let us down now

areyouhavingagiraffe · 26/06/2021 08:40

@notmethenwho.....I sent him a night night message.....I think a morning message might be a bit too much?! See what I mean about overthinking. Anyway, this has certainly taken my mind of the house purchase and move!

Yeah I'd probably let him message you first. When are you good to go? Lol this might factor into how you time this all. If you are ready today and eager to meet up then keep the momentum and message him this morning otherwise wait for him to message you.

areyouhavingagiraffe · 26/06/2021 09:02

Yes, maybe some shenanigans to say "goodbye" to my place. Ha ha. Anyway, heading to the gym later, around 11ish, but he said he was going in early. Maybe he changes his mind and I bump into him, and then we have mad passionate hot sex in the changing rooms. Maybe not 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

Im so old and depressed at the moment. It’s so nice to see someone having fun. Good luck! Xx Smile

areyouhavingagiraffe · 26/06/2021 09:30

@RaskolnikovsGarret, I am also old and depressed!!!! This has been a nice pick me up. However I am also wondering whether I will be more depressed in a few weeks when it all goes tits up 🤦🏽‍♀️

Nah. See it as just fun banter for now. If it's hot sex see it as just hot sex. Don't over extend the possibilities, just enjoy

Horehound · 26/06/2021 09:53

Him asking about what you'd say if he was 20a means he's deffo in 20s

I'd be careful here. Also, what if you do have some fun then it goes down the pan, will you feel awkward at the gym if you see him?

squishyegg · 26/06/2021 09:55

Ohhh I love this thread haha

areyouhavingagiraffe · 26/06/2021 10:04

@Horehound, yup, I think he is in is 20's too. Ha ha. Oh dear.
Let's see what happens

OP posts:
areyouhavingagiraffe · 26/06/2021 10:05

Also, he may not message today now he knows I am old and decrepit

PurpleMustang · 26/06/2021 10:18

Just found this and am placemarking and hooked. He is so in his 20's!! 😆 He said 35, as 8 years younger would sound sensible to start to test the water. But hell you have said 43 and he hasn't run then who cares

ChuckNoWorriesMyWay · 26/06/2021 10:20

Good luck at the gym ! Hope he is there !

dgirluk · 26/06/2021 10:20

Something similar happened to me - a guy in his 20's tried to pick me up on the tube, when I was 41! I am not super hot etc.! We did exchange numbers, and if I'd actually fancied him I think I would've kept it casual and had a bit of fun. Sadly I didn't, and I was a bit worried he'd see me in real light (not underground light) and realise how old I was!

I say go for it, keep it casual and fun, and enjoy!

Hoping there's an update :) :)

dgirluk · 26/06/2021 10:21

(was a good pick me up / confidence boost during divorce though!)
