Proactive pays off

So, I manned up/grew some and took some advice given here. I mentally pledged to stop with the head games & the active ignoring. If I saw Gym Crush, I would say hi, no matter if I said it first or not. I was going to start acting like an adult and treat him like I would anyone else.

 

So anyways....I was finishing up at the gym this evening, and Gym Crush shows up. I had a few more minutes on the rowing machine, which was very close to where Gym Crush does this special workout that he's been doing for the last couple of weeks.

 

So after I finish on the rowing machine, I get ready to start stretching. Using my new found manhood I say "Oh, Hey Gym Crush." He says Hi back with a smile, and we both get back to what we were doing.

 

After another 10 minutes of stretching, I start wrapping up to head to the locker room. Gym Crush was on a little rest break, so I pause by him and trying the proactive thing I say "I've notice you do a really unique workout, it's cool."

 

He says thanks and tells me it's the 'Spartacus' Workout that he got from Men's Health Magazine. I said, "That's great that your doing something different. It's so easy for me to get in rut in the gym, doing the same thing over and over."

 

We chat a little bit more about the workout and then he hands me a pamphet "Here, take this. It's the workout from the magazine if you're interested." It's a full color page that shows how to do the workout.

 

I said "No, I can't take you're pamphlet. :huh: "

 

"It's no problem, I was saving it for another guy who was interested, but he isn't here. :) " Gym Crush smiled.

 

"Oh, I don't want to take his.:unsure: "

 

"Really, I insist.^_^ "

 

"Thank you so much, that's very nice of you.:D "

 

"No problem.^_^ "

 

"You have a great weekend.:2thumbs: "

 

"You too.:thumbup: "

 

I was already running a little late for my dinner plans and I didn't want to waste more of his workout time (I get that way too), so I walk away.

 

While heading to the locker room, I start glancing at the two sided pamphlet. It really is a cool workout (I found it online here at Men's Health in pdf format).

 

So, proactive paid off. Now we have more to talk about. And now I owe him something for his nice gesture.

 

Anywho, made my night. I was going to be late for dinner with one of my hags, but I knew she'd be okay with it and I had a great story to tell her :2thumbs: .

Woohoo! :D

He gave you something, which calls for a return of the favour.

Hehehe, "Spartacus" sounds gay to me ;) In any case, thanks for the link. I just printed page 2 and I will try it next week. If it makes me look like Andy Whitfield in less than a month I'll be sure to tell you.

Here's an interesting thing Bleu...The one he gave me was printed out both sides, from what looks like a quality color printer (I'd assume from work). So not only did he have the workout side printed, but also the full size picture of the cute guy. I mean, it's like he made a point of printing out the picture of the hottie when it wasn't necessary for the utility of the workout.

 

Makes you ponder.....

Vic, he might have printed it for inspiration, to remind him of his goal. Or he's gay as a maypole and you should lure him into your trap! :P

"Spartacus" ist the name of a gay magazine with a list of gay places all around Europe. I dont know if it still exist, but Bleu is right, it sound really gay :great:.

Just go on and look on Internet, you may find "Spartacus" and use it as Paya said .

Oh, that IS a sign!!

 

@MikeL : I didn't say page 1 wasn't interesting, but it might prove... distracting :P

Okay, maybe he's just a fan of historical action flicks like 300 and Arthur and stuff. With the new movie, Eagle, out in theaters that genre is getting a little bit of a revival. Or he could like looking at hot guys, who knows?

 

First, props for being proactive! Way to go Vic!!! Two, the 'owe him something' bit. Check out the next time he's gyming. Does he have a water bottle, towel, idk, whatever else a gym guy might need? Getting him something and saying thanks again for the workout thing, I tried it and such and such... might open up another opportunity for dialogue between you guys. Who knows, he may be interested, he may just become a friend. Either way is sort of win/win right?

LOL Matt, I almost titled this blog entry "Proactive, not just for acne" but figured our non-US friends wouldn't get the reference.

Seems that you saying "Hey Gym Crush" would give it away that you like him. tongue.gif

I call him by his real name at the gym. I just use the term "Gym Crush" here in GA :thumbup:

 

God, could you imagine if I slip and actually call him "Gym Crush" to his face? :*)

[ God, could you imagine if I slip and actually call him "Gym Crush" to his face? :*)

 

"Hey Gym Crush, I mean <name>"

 

"Excuse me?" says Gym Crush with a perplexed look on his face.

 

"What?"

 

"Did you just call me Gym Crush?"

 

"No, I said Gym crutch, you know, like help motivate people to work out"

 

"Gym crotch?"

 

"......" *runs away before digging myself into deeper hole*
