Nice workout, Chickie. Care to elaborate on creepy gym, dude?

Umm... how many years ago was this and where did you live? Because my mother (yet again) used to do the lawn in her bikini when she was newly married and she got her tan that way, lol. I kid you not! (And I'm apparently her clone... so watch out, I may be next!) |

Oh, Ginger, he was creepy! There are several guys at the gym that I nod to or acknowledge because we are always there together, so we "know" each other, but we are all focused on our workouts, so no chit chat or anything normally. I've never seen anything going on at my gym like this with anyone! This guy, though, I had never seen before. I'm working out WITH my ipod and he just completely interrupts my workout like we are in a bar or something!
Him: I came over to meet you. I'm Frank.
Me: What? (I have ipod on and think I'm in his way or he has a question or something). Fumble with the ipod and he says it again.
Me: Uh, ok, I'm Jane
Him: Do you come here often?
Me: Umm...yeah
Him: That's good. What do you do?
Me: For my workout?
Him: No, your job
Me: I'm in IT
Him: Oh, I'm a lawyer
Me: mmmmm.....as I try to get back into my workout
Him: So, do you come here at this same time all the time?
Me: It varies.....look, I really need to get back to my workout.
Him: OK, Jane, I'll catch up with you next time
I look over his shoulder, and my guy acquaintances are over there rolliing their eyes and laughing at me. I'm sure it was obvious how uncomfortable I was!
Oh, and he was about 5'5" (not that there's anything wrong with that  ) and way older than me. He was just very creepy and caught me totally off guard. If I'd been thinking on my feet, I would have said 'I work at my husband's business' or something like that. Ew, I hope I don't see him again.

Yuck. I hate when people talk to me while I'm trying to work out. Especially when you have your headphones one right? Some people are totally clueless. Too bad he wasn't hot though.  |

Sadly, the fact that you didn't tell him to buzz off is probably a bad sign. Mentally he's probably adding you to the possible column.  |

I find that the short, not so attractive guys, try this kind of stuff more. I think they figure they have to make their own chances. That and he could have a bit of a Napolean complex and think he's a little more suave and awesome than he is
I get weird ones at the gym too. Next time, slip in the husband thing - you know, if you have to go through this again! Otherwise I think Anne is right - and you don't want to be a possible for this guy!  |

Well, I was 17, so it was 1992. Doubtful that it was your mom. LOL on you being next.

Sorry about the weirdo , but ITA with Anne that he'll probably be back because you were too nice. Looks like you got a good workout anyway. |

Ew weird guys. I've got a couple like that at my gym also. But they're WAY older (like my dad's age) so I doubt they're hitting on me, just looking for conversation. (Which I don't give much of either)
