Lol, I spoke to my gym crush and he wasn't some dumb jock. He was pretty intelligent and nice. He had his Masters in Geo-something and I've seen him come to our college library during his lunch breaks just to go somewhere quiet to read.

If I remember correctly, this thread was originally started in the 'Games & Humor' forum and then got moved to the 'Member Q & A' forum.

Well, that *might* be true, but I'm not waiting around for that 1 in 10,000,000 chance that it could be. It's time to move on.

Actually, I do hope he's happy, he's a nice guy and deserves it.

Oh wow, you're a girlie girl. Nice photo Anya!

You should serve the best, premium milkshake in your yard. You'll get all the boys that way.

Well, I haven't updated in a while. I realized my activity on GA correlates to Domluka's postings, which is pretty sparce. I've realized I'm becoming one of those GA members who kinda moves on, fades away. Not much new going on. Still keeping busy with fitness. Doing 2-3 activities a day. I think I'm an adrenaline/endorphine junkie. But anyway, since I had blogged so much about him in the past, I figured I should bring closure to my stalkee, the 'Gym Crush'. I've been stalking his Facebook for a while now, and today when I checked on him, he had one of those 'Gym Crush is in a relationship with Random Woman' statuses. I have mixed feelings about this. While sad to see, I'm glad to finally know for sure that he's straight. As I suspected, once I found out he was straight, the attraction for him is diminishing as the minutes go by. I haven't been seeing him at the gym lately, so this explains it. Now that he's dating a woman, he's probably on his way to a white picket fence, 2.4 kids, and a gut. I think what's most troubling to me is my Gaydar. I usually think I'm pretty good at picking out gay guys, but I think it only works when I'm not interested in the guy for myself. It seems that the only guys I'm attracted to turn out to be straight. Wait, that doesn't sound right. I'm sure they're born straight. Take Care, Vic

Happy 46th Birthday James! Hope you had a great one!

Such an exciting Chapter. I can't wait to find out what happens next!

Even though I've been generally 'out' for a while, I still catch myself in situations where I have to come out to someone. Usually it's a situation where my being gay didn't come out early on and I allowed the friendship to grow without revealing that part of me. Though not as difficult as when I was first coming out to close friends and family, there's still that little feeling of apprehension of how the other person will react to finding out I'm gay. Sometimes I think it would be easier if I had the word 'Gay' tattooed on my forehead. Though there will be ups and downs, do enjoy this time of self-discovery as you become more comfortable with this part of your life.

You'll be the "Mitchel & Cam" of the neighborhood when you bring back your baby

LOL, thanks Sharon! She must not like Hershey's kisses

Thanks everyone for the Birthday wishes! I had a nice birthday eve dinner with a big ass slice of cheesecake at the end of it. For the actual birthday, ran 12 miles with a buddy, and then biked 31 miles, to get to a total of 43 to match my new age ! I did splurge quite a bit afterwards eating about 1/2 a container of Mint chocolate chip ice cream (thank goodness they've been downsizing those containers from 2quarts down to about 1.5quarts ) and big ass slice of german chocolate cake. No gym crush date yet, but maybe this year will be the year! Thanks again!

Hey Robbee, Good job on keeping up the brave face in front of him. Others may get to find out how you really feel (like us), but no sense in letting him know how much he affected you. Glad you were able to make some lemonade out of your lemon. Take Care, Vic

I just hope I'm not one of those gym bunnies that the catty queens want to sink their claws into .

I wish there was more news/progress on the gym crush front. Don't worry Paya, this will be the first place I'll come running to post if/when anything happens.

Lol Mike, exercise is fun for me! When I run, it's usually very social as I'm chatting with the guys. In between sets at the gym, my eyes are usually wandering looking at the guy-candy. It's easier to do so covertly at the gym due to all the mirrors.

Perhaps it is the individual authors themselves choosing how to spell (or not spell) the word out. I remember Dom using 'Nucking Futs'. It certainly got the point across.

okay, for the month of May (which ended today): 29 Runs for 191 miles (6.58/miles average) 46 Gym workouts, with 13 of those being primarily Spartacus workouts 5 Rollerbladings for 56 miles 8 Outdoor Bike Rides for 128 miles 88 total Workouts/Activities It's a little shocking to add it all up (and that doesn't include mowing the lawn or other household/yard stuff). I'm not sure what to think about it. whether it's good or bad, whether I can maintain the pace, or actually add onto it. Starting to get some ab definition. yay! Also think I'm getting a rep as a gym bunny as some of the workers have seen me there twice in the same day. I'm generally low key at the gym (no exaggerated grunting or flexing in the mirrors). But I do have one "show off-ie" kinda thing I'm proud of. When I do chinups, I've been lifting extra weight by holding a dumbell with my feet. I've gotten to where I can do 3 sets of 10 pull ups while lifting a 30lb dumbell. And here's the kicker. After doing all that, I gained 3 lbs . *sigh* off to the gym (hope gym crush is there )

oh my, you're right. I think when I do plan to do any drinking, I should leave my cell phone at home. Could you imagine what *liquid courage* could do? I might mistakenly proclaim my love to him in text.

Kevin!!!!! When I looked at 'View New Content' and saw that you responded to several threads, I was so excited to see that you've popped in to GA. Glad to hear you're doing well!!! Take Care, Vic

Paya, Whatever you decide, just try to do the best to not have any regrets (mostly in regard to your PhD, but applicable to everything else). If you've come this far and decide to set working on your PhDaside, it might not be something that you can pick up where you left off later. Just remember, no regrets. Best of luck with whatever you decide. Vic

Today I gave my Gym Crush my business card with my cell phone number on it. We had been chatting off and on at the gym for the last couple of weeks and he mentioned now that the weather was getting warmer that he'd like to come running with my group at some point. I told him he was always welcome and just to let me know ahead of time so that I would make sure someone (me) would definitely be there. Just about an hour ago, he texted me thanking me for my contact info as well giving me his last name. So now I know his last name 'officially'. And his cell. Getting a text - That's gotta be a 'base' in this day in age, isn't it? Is it like 2nd base maybe?

Happy Birthday Myr!!! Hope you have a great day!

Whew, I was almost late to this party! Happy 48th Birthday Mark!!! I can't believe it's been over 5 years since I've known you online (lol and it's been years since I've written a skit that featured you). Hope you had a great day and enjoy the two remaining years of your 40s! Take Care®, Vic
