Trainer at my gym (I know...boring) - m4m (Evanston) 34yr

"One of two possibilities:

A)

I’m just another obsessed gay who has a crush on you a straight trainer at my gym and am spending way too much time trying to figure out if it is indeed me you’re looking at.

OR

B)

I catch you looking at me every single time I’m at the gym and you’re not sure if I’m gay and/or friendly but you think I’m as hot as I think you are.

Please validate my entire existence and tell me it is “B”. Ha ha

Okay…just trying to be funny. Love "missed connections". Read them once a week & often laugh at their vague, sometimes desperate nature. But I shouldn't be so smug, because now I'm posting.

I get it now...I don't have a reason (or the cajones) to actually introduce myself to you, so this is a safe, easy, alternative: there exists some slim, tiny chance you'll see this and somehow that makes me feel better...like I'm actually doing something about my crush. ha ha.

I work out at our gym 3 or 4 days a week, often around 3:30-4pm. You're a trainer there. You're fit, dk buzzed hair, short, cute. I'm fit, medium ht., lighter hair, lean and musclebound, and cute too (and modest, apparently). Unless I'm imaging it over & over (see A, B above) I think I keep seeing you checking me out. This has been going on for months. Actually, it is kind of fun...one of the reasons I keep a pretty regular schedule at the gym :). But here's the thing...You're almost never alone. You're either with a client or talking with another trainer and I really have no reason to talk to you...and believe me I've been trying to get over my shyness and think of one...

Here's the other thing: Over time, my friends have told me that people sometimes don't know I'm gay and that I don't always look friendly or that maybe I seem aloof because I’m quiet.

So I'm here to tell you that:

I'm gay, I'm friendly, and I wish you'd say something to me…

In the end, I suppose you'll never see this, and I'll go on sweating & lusting & wondering (or I'll grow a pair). But, you know, I do feel a bit better already...
