The Gym Crush - I need a new gym FML

I really thought I was lacking content since I gave up dating for a month (next post will cover that) but damn. I totally cannot make this shit up anymore. My life is literally a comedic act. I plan on taking it on the road so please get your tickets and support my stand up.

You know how they say older people just say whatever they want? No fucks given? According to Newsweek, "it's a pretty common belief that "the filter," which stops us from speaking before thinking, becomes increasingly thinner as we age. A new study confirms that older people really are more likely to overshare."

"Older people." It's me. I'm older people. At 46.

Case in point....

I first noticed my gym crush in the beginning of March. Oh. My. God. He looks like a clean shaven, muscular, tatted up version of Keegan-Michael Key, who I have a giant crush on. The first time he caught me staring he smiled. So I smiled back. This went on for WEEKS. Then he waved one day. I waved back. Then one day he said "hi" in passing. This has been going on for two months. I'm confident the interaction was because he was like this short, crazy girl keeps starting so I'll just be nice in case she's a psycho.

So today, it was happening again and I'm like Cha Cha STOP staring. This is embarrassing. Self preservation girl. Yea lol ok. So I made a funny post on Facebook:

"I have become the weird creep at the gym. Sweet baby Jesus please make me stop staring at the most beautiful man I've seen in a very long time for 2 months now. He keeps catching me and I. Can't. Stop. Staring. I've been staring at him for two months every day. "

So I'm finishing up my workout and about to walk into the locker room and I'm reading the post and cracking myself up. Literally laughing standing there. He walks out, smiles and sees me laughing and makes a face like what's so funny. So I said hey what's up and he said hello. So I did literally the DUMBEST thing I've ever done in my adult life when it comes to the opposite sex.

I said I have to show you something. AND I SHOWED HIM THE FUCKING POST.

WHAT THE FUCK CHA CHA

He laughed and said who are you talking about? I said you silly. He said wow thank you. Then told me his name that I already forgot and asked if I like the gym and told me about his job and working out and all this other stuff that went in one ear and out the other because it was like a movie in slow motion as I just processed WTF just happened.

I then promptly went to the locker room, grabbed my stuff, and left. Got in my car, called one of my best friends and was laughing hysterically.

Did this really just happen? Yup. No filter. No fucks given.

So if anyone can recommend a gym near me, please let me know because I can't show my face anymore at mine LMAO.
