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

This has given me a great laugh in a break in the middle of a three hour Zoom meeting! He sounds a right clown.

Well, he sounds lovely kevacweird sort of chancer. But this:

he uses the LOL a lot, which I hate so much, ha ha.

I use LOL, but I don't like "haha", so horses for courses!

VanGoghsDog · 01/07/2021 11:50

That was supposed to say "like a weird sort of chancer".

OrlandointheWilderness · 01/07/2021 13:00

God no, he may have a beautiful face but the rest sounds awful!!!

areyouhavingagiraffe · 01/07/2021 13:25

@Sandra15, I feel like I spend my life in these virtual mtgs
@VanGoghsDog, I think if he didn't chat like he was 12 ("you must be having wet dreams about me"), then I could accept some LOLs :-)

[quote areyouhavingagiraffe]@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" :-)[/quote]
This makes him sound very young!
My teenagers speak like this!

VanGoghsDog · 01/07/2021 14:09

Agreed, all the rest sounds intolerable!

Mind you, I know a woman who actually says 'lol' verbally, that grinds my gears! I mean, either laugh, or don't laugh, don't tell me you're laughing with a horrible abbreviation when you're not anyway!!

Slub · 01/07/2021 15:27

I don't mind Lol but loath "ha ha" 🤷‍♂️ That makes you OP sound about 12 imho.

areyouhavingagiraffe · 01/07/2021 15:47

Fairy snuff 👍

Awwwww @areyouhavingagiraffe what a shame ... pretty face but not much between the ears ?
Damm it well I have enjoyed the craic anyway ... and the bonus is you have been boosted by the attention from a good looking guy ... irrelevant that's he's most likely a knob ....
Keep that smile on love and drop them squats !!!!

KittyFilter · 01/07/2021 20:06

For the live of God, shag him! I think speak for every woman on this thread living vicariously through you Grin

KittyFilter · 01/07/2021 20:06

LOVE

66babe · 01/07/2021 20:12

Oh no @KittyFilter we've all gone off him big time 🤣🤣🤣
He's bald chested and thinks he's the Archbishop of Banterbury !

GenevaLane · 01/07/2021 20:40

I think he would run a mile if you suggested anything more. He's just playing isn't he...kind of practicing, filling his time.

Pleased you are interested OP.

KittyFilter · 01/07/2021 21:09

Oh that's disappointing. I will have to defect to the 'I want an American man' thread in the hope that something hot happens there... eventually.

bonfireheart · 02/07/2021 07:54

Wonder if haha is more or less annoying than LOL?!

areyouhavingagiraffe · 02/07/2021 09:54

@66babe, you are cracking me up and are my new bestie :-)

I guess this is why you are Van Gogh's dog rather than Van Gogh 😜

Update: Gym yesterday, and he came up to me and had a chat. I find it weird that he can flirt behind his phone (keyboard flirter) and ask me whether I am having "wet dreams", but has no actual flirting skills in real life. His chat was pretty dull..."innit innit", dropped in for good measure! Kinda just don't want any contact now. I have deleted his number as a hint (my whatsapp settings are private).

Nope, you've lost me.

areyouhavingagiraffe · 05/07/2021 11:01

And I have a vacancy for a new hot gym guy :-)
