JohnWayneHolland Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 So I don't think you guys remember but before ATRL got cleared I made a thread about how my gym crush wasn't coming to my gym anymore and how sad I was about it (some of you even called me a pervert/weirdo (?) for some reason, even though I wasn't doing anything creepy, I just looked at him from time to time) but today I finally saw him again at least that confirms that he's not dead, he also got thicker I was playing it cool but I was screaming inside. I would like to talk to him but I'm too shy to do that, he also has this kinda "serious/tough/highschool jock" vibe that intimidates me do you guys have any tips? I don't even care if he's straight, I want to at least be his friend I know I sound desperate and miserable, believe me, I am. Also do you have any gym crushes? I would like to hear about that and if you got to talk to them or even become something more feel free to tell your stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Bloodflowers. said: Ask him if he likes Lady Gaga I agree. Strike it up with how many times he's recently streamed Hold My Hand. And if you get his number, the first thing you text him needs to be the Spotify link and YouTube link in one text. This is how I've made all of my friendships romantic or non. Edited May 8, 2022 by Biggie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggie Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 The other day I was on the toilet in a public gas station bathroom. I was playing Hold My Hand on full blast when another gentleman walked into the bathroom. I walked out of the stall as he was washing his hands. He immediately hugged me with tears in his eyes and we've been platonic friends ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venuss Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 (edited) Try to get know him slowly like... Ask about gym stuff (are you using this machine?") or something. Then, next time you see him, nod (like saying hi)... In a couple of days/weeks you might have a full convo if everything goes well. Or you can be more direct and asking him "Hey, you dtf?"

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted May 8, 2022 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 8, 2022 I mean, would you feel comfortable asking him to spot you or something? Maybe playing it off like you're getting into bench pressing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t seen you here for a while. You been good?” I mean we never really spoke outside of "are you using this machine?" So I think it may freak him out to know that I was aware of him not going to the gym 1 hour ago, Jotham said: Omg I remember reading that thread. I'm happy for you.

The first part sounds great, the second part... I don't know If I would ever said that to anyone that I don't know well, I'm not really into one night stands but thank you for your tips 40 minutes ago, Ampersand13 said: I mean, would you feel comfortable asking him to spot you or something? Maybe playing it off like you're getting into bench pressing? Idk, I don't really ask other people to spot me because I feel like I'm taking time from their routine, I've only asked friends that some times work out with me, I could ask him once I talk to him more tho. Not some of you turning this into a HMH promo thread I ain't mad tho, STREAM THE SONG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Kinda hot (jk) Yeah, I mean I do respect boundaries, I would never try to do anything if I sense that the other person is not comfortable, or if the guy says the he's straight, I have many straight friends that are attractive but I never try anything for the same reason. Then again there are some lunatics out there who punch people for literally anything, so yeah, I will be careful, thank you sm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
