The Crushes Revisited

So a little time has passed since I embarrassed myself in front of BOTH my "Work Crush" and "Gym Crush" - and some things have happened since, so here's a recap that is too good (funny/sad/frustrating) to not share.

The Gym Crush

Soooo last we left off I completely embarrassed myself by showing him the Facebook post that said I had a crush on him. He laughed. I laughed (then I cried in my car - KIDDING). Then I saw him the next day and he made ZERO eye contact with me. I saw him again this past Monday and he said hi and kinda giggled. Okkkkk...

That same day one of my friends joined me at the gym and he was walking out when she caught up with me. I pointed him out and she said I had a feeling it was him. SHE KNOWS HIM. Apparently, he is a personal trainer and rented office space next to her old job. And then she gave me the tea AND showed me his IG account.

Everything changed. I no longer have a gym crush. He's an aspiring actor /rapper. He apparently creeps on the 20-something girls he trains (and he's much older). His IG account is hysterical. I could not stop laughing. As my sister pointed out, he had one rap video he did where he sticks out his long ass Komodo dragon tongue and talks about licking women. Ummm. Yea. I'm gonna pass. Can you see me bringing this fuckboi home to meet my kid or family. My family: Get out.

The Work Crush

Ahhhh...this one is sooooooo damn frustrating. OF COURSE I AM STILL CRUSHING ON HIM. I literally think he's the cat's meow even if he does not think the same about me. We are back to our almost daily banter of texting (yesterday 3 hours of non-stop texting HE initiated). We no longer speak on the phone.

But get this shit.

Yesterday, he asked me how dating was going. WTF BRO. WHY? Then not only proceeded to give me dating advice BUT also tell me that he's been dating and he went on a date this week that looked promising. That is some shit. He said before he was oblivious. Come on now. YOU KNOW I like you. I literally told you TO YOUR FACE. Why do you think I care about your dating life, want to hear you have a promising prospect AND/OR get dating advice from you?! I pray to Cupid that it doesn't work out (sorrynotsorry).

It's actually kind of hurtful and I thought I need to say something and just let him know I feel uncomfortable because I do still like him even though I know he's not interested but that would make it even more awkward so I guess if I want to stay friends with him, I just gotta take it. I guess he's the Colin to my Penelope.

Conclusion....

As the great Def Leppard said:

If you've got love in your sights

Watch out, love bites

Yes it does

Bloody hell
