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

Oh and don't worry about it all going wrong, just go along with it for what it is and if it is just a bit of fun what the heck it would of been fun! Oh and definitely tell him you are moving, he'll be offering those muscles up so fast to help. It could help being your 'outside of the gym to get to know him' angle.

However I am also wondering whether I will be more depressed in a few weeks when it all goes tits up

It’s just a bit of fun even if it ends up going nowhere. I think this will give you a confidence boost to get back out there and enjoy yourself Grin

Thank you - but i don’t want to make it all about me. All the best!

Mama1980 · 26/06/2021 12:08

How exciting! I hope he's there today.

Fwiw I literally laughed in the face of my super hot younger physio dp when he asked me out - been together years now Grin

Listening to Wham, he wouldn't know any of it! Careless Whisper just on now, how apt 🤣

Hmm, if he is that hot how come he doesn't have a GF?

Huh? Do you think all attractive people are already in relationships?!
Josuk · 26/06/2021 16:40

Just enjoy it OP.
I am mid 40s and downs lots of time in the gym too. And most people there think I am younger. And every now and then young buff men make it quite clear that they are up for fun. And I enjoy flirty bunter with them. And who knows - maybe one day I’d get curious enough.
Who cares what age he is as long as he is an adult and there is joint attraction. And you both are after the same thing.

Lots of reasons. Relationships do end. It doesn't mean he's always been single. Even if he was, not a big deal.

So you're saying that all the single people on here can't be hot?!

Dying to know what happened?

Are you saying OP must be unattractive then as she’s single?
What an odd way to look at things!

PumpkinKlNG · 27/06/2021 10:47

Perhaps he doesn’t want a girlfriend? Not everyone wants a relationship, sounds like him and the op are just after something casual.

coronaway · 27/06/2021 11:53

When is the wedding OP? Grin

Guys! Okay, there was no messages yesterday. And then this morning a few messages, turns out we were both heading to gym. I put some blusher on ha ha, and wore my tightest top, ha ha. Anyway we didn't bump into eachother at the gym. Following my workout, I was walking home, and then HE RANG ME TO SAY HE HAD JUST DRIVEN PAST ME. Omg. We had a nice chit chat. He sounds a bit young on the phone, I think his pre workout was kicking in. What is going on?! Why is this attractive man calling me?! 😭🤦🏽‍♀️

But he drove past you. Surely if he was that interested he would have stopped and either offered you a lift or to talk to you. What's the point in letting you know he's driven past you ???
OurChristmasMiracle · 27/06/2021 14:20

🤣😂 this attractive man is calling you because he would like to take you out….. GO!!!!

Divebar2021 · 27/06/2021 14:22

He likes older women. I have a male friend who was 21 when he was picked up / or picked up an older woman in a bar and has a preference for them ever since. By which I means 40’s and 50’s. He’s 35 now and is still the same. I would recommend embracing it

Sleepyquest · 27/06/2021 14:27

Does he live alone? Get him to take you out for dinner and then back to his but bear in mind you might have to change gyms after Grin

@kazzer2867, you're right. He should have stopped on a tfl red route to chat to me

OP posts:
toocold54 · 27/06/2021 15:12

If I was him I wouldn’t have offered OP a lift as that may be a bit awkward and they don’t really know each other yet.
He could have just driven past and not said anything so to ring just to tell you sounds like he’s really interested!

66babe · 27/06/2021 15:47

It could also have been a main road with traffic up his arse ! And he was probably a sweaty mess ?

areyouhavingagiraffe · 27/06/2021 16:19

Yup, was a main road. Tfl red route, illegal to stop and just chat 🤣
