Why I don’t date guys from my own gym

Other than Chicken Schwarma  and Green Giant, I refuse to date guys from my gym. It has nothing to do with their personality, or even their looks, it has to do with me having to see them again. (Ok, ok, I’ve yet to meet someone from the gym who has any personality).

To be honest, I would LOVE to meet someone who worked out as much as I do. However, history has shown that quality men don’t hang out at my gym.

In any case where I have taken a chance and ignored my self-imposed rules, I’ve ended up on a bad date. Dating men from the gym is like dating guys you work with…only a good idea if it’s really going to go somewhere, else-wise, it’s awkward and embarrassing.

9 times out of 10, the guy wants to see me again, so he’ll show up to the gym during my regular times so that he can bump into me since I haven’t been returning his calls. I, however, avoid him. I’m definitely not one of those people who would stop going to the gym for any reason, so I have to change my times. I have to start getting up early in the morning to get in a sub-par workout or coming in late at night when I am dead tired. I have even changed gyms to avoid certain people.

This is too much disruption in my life, and therefore, I refuse to do it. I have self-imposed rules for a reason.
