So last night I was at the gym about to finish my cardio work out (Burned 560 calories) Whoop Whoop!!
Anyway, I was feeling pretty bold. It must be that runners high thing. I see a woman that I see there almost everytime. I admire her. Shes always by herself and she don't play. Is constantly in beast mode. I remembered a time a year and a half ago there was a woman named Amy that saw me lifting and was like I can spot you so that I could maximize my weight. I was so excited. I met her in the gym daily and I grew so much and became great friends with her until her husband (navy) got transfered to VA. Well, I was thinking of what a great experience this was for me, so I decided to her approach her. She got off a treadmill and walked by me and I was like, "hey, I always see you here at the same time as me and you're always lifting. If you ever need a lift partner I'd love to lift with you." She looked at me for a few seconds and seemed confused. I was thinking okay, or not! She took her ear bud out to make sure she heard me correctly and was like, "okay, what?" By this time I'm like damn. Not what I imagined. So I explained it again. She looked at me and pointed and said, " I used to look like that!" I was like huh? She said, "if I can do it you can do it." Im thinking, okay, but do you need a lift partner? I tried to end it by saying, "Oh, so you prefer to lift alone." Hoping I could bail. She said, "No, sometimes I lift with the guys. So, what's your name?" I told her and then she was like, " We gotta beat these guys in here." I smiled and we parted.
I couldn't even work out anymore. I didn't know what had just happened. Did I just get rejected? Did she think I was saying that she needed to work out more and I was going to help her? Why am I so socially akward? Did I hurt her feelings and she got defensive? I was just looking for a lift partner dang. I left feeling a bit sad. I was hoping I didn't offend and at the same time hoping I didn't just face rejection for 100th time this week. Ugh!
