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

Following along... Any update OP?! I am invested in this story!

Bridezillamaybe · 28/06/2021 19:50

I am so excited. You have to get your legs around this man OP, it's an essential part of your training schedule.

PinotPony · 28/06/2021 22:55

Shamelessly following for an update on OP's imminent shagathon with über hot gym guy... 😀

OrlandointheWilderness · 28/06/2021 23:19

not placemarking in the slightest

God I am so stupidly invested in this!!

Shutthedoorproperly · 28/06/2021 23:29

Oooofff! You can train him to your specifications!

toocold54 · 30/06/2021 18:02

Any more news on him OP?

huuuuunnnndderrricks · 30/06/2021 18:10

I would text him and tell him you are 43! I look young and it's got me into trouble before . I've been asked out and all sorts when in face I've been married 20 years and I'm late 40's ! He may think you are 20 ! I presume you are single though .

Lochroy · 30/06/2021 19:17

Assuming the OP has been in some sweaty shagfest for the last three days which is why there haven't been any updates?

Yes come on @areyouhavingagiraffe
Any update ?

areyouhavingagiraffe · 01/07/2021 09:31

Ladies! Okay update. There has been a lot of messaging; some of the messages have been off putting, and he uses the LOL a lot, which I hate so much, ha ha. Promises of a coffee date Tuesday/ Wed this week, he was a bit elusive. He has asked to call me late at night a few times, and I have ignored it. He video called me during the day a few days ago too. Asking for photos as "always used to seeing me in gym attire". A few days ago I said I was popping out for a walk (we live very close to a nice park), and he made some weird excuse, and said he would be available later in the evening, but it would be very late.... Also asked me if I was married (I am not), I asked him, and he said "yes, it complicated", I then reacted with "what a surprise"....He then said he is not married, and he just wanted to see my reaction.
Anyway, yesterday when I went to the gym he came up and said hello.
In a nutshell, I think he is:

  1. 12 years old, who uses phrases like "wet dream" FFS
  2. Wants someone to text, have phone sex with etc and exchange pics
  3. I feel like he doesn't have much of a personality. I would be up for a FWB but I need to be attracted to someone (not physically, but proper chemistry)
  4. Who video calls and then flexes their chest muscles?
  5. He has no hair on his chest, and I love a hairy beast of a man Anyway, we are not messaging as much and I want to keep it that way. Lots of other red flags too, asking me when my last date (and then laughing that it was last October, his was in Feb, smack bang in middle of second wave). So much more to say guys, but heading into another Teams mtg now :-)

Well he has certainly lost his appeal there. Thanks for the update OP!

Lochroy · 01/07/2021 09:54

Ugh. Not so appealing now.

areyouhavingagiraffe · 01/07/2021 09:56

God I just re-read my message, ha ha. Regarding the park walk, I was heading out and asked if he wanted to join, and that is when he started making excuses.
I'm up for a bit of fun, but he has said things which have been offputting.
It has helped my confidence, and usually when guys make eye contact with me at the gym, I immediately look to the floor (ha ha), but now I am making eyes, and smiling.
Also, I need to change my way of thinking, instead of being shocked that a good looking (but rather dull) guy asked for my number (why me?! mentality), I am going to turn it into a positive, and someone did think I was attractive (when I was looking like a hot mess) :-)

areyouhavingagiraffe · 01/07/2021 09:58

@Lochroy, I can't believe he fondled his chest during a 4 minute video call and flexed the muscles....Arghhh
And where is all his body hair???????!???!??!
He has a beautiful face (I will give him that), but shame he has nothing else appealing.....I mean muscles are nice, but they won't make me laugh will they? Also I have my own muscles too :-)

I don't really have anything useful to add, but I hate LOL too.

areyouhavingagiraffe · 01/07/2021 10:04

@Wrotten ha ha. Honestly it is pet peeve. As well as "what u doing". "U watching match". "I'm going gym". I think you mean "I am going to the gym" :-)

OP posts:
Shutthedoorproperly · 01/07/2021 10:07

Not much between the ears then

areyouhavingagiraffe · 01/07/2021 10:08

It has been fun chatting with you all about it, having some LOL's (ha ha ha). I don't have many girlfriends, so this is nice :-)

BringBackThinEyebrows · 01/07/2021 10:37

He then said he is not married, and he just wanted to see my reaction.
🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Sounds like it's been fun and an ego boost. I couldn't deal with his style of texting. Low effort messages like "how's u?" or "good day?" don't get responses from me.

coronaway · 01/07/2021 10:38

Sounds like the sort of man who would appear on love island Grin

areyouhavingagiraffe · 01/07/2021 11:02

@coronaway, I think he is too small for Love Island :-)
Going to the gym shortly, gonna make sure I am looking super hot, ha ha.

Get your leg over then ghost him. Grin

areyouhavingagiraffe · 01/07/2021 11:05

@BringBackThinEyebrows, soooooo true. Why even say this? Last guysI dated have also told me this, after several weeks of dating. Ended in disaster, there was a lot of future faking etc
Where are the normal guys who want to make an effort and get to know someone before getting into pants for major shagathon. That is what I need! :-)

OP posts:
areyouhavingagiraffe · 01/07/2021 11:06

@2021DNA.....I honestly don't think I want to get leg over with him, since his chat is so poor
