My turn to ask for advice for a change...

[Lexington]

Yeah, for sure, I'll probably see him again today in class. But whether or not we'll do more than nod a howdy-do, is TBD.

In no small part by YOU.

WHY NOW? How come after seeing this guy for literally years, WHY NOW, has he not only "noticed" me but actually made it a point to start a conversation with me?

Maybe he's socially awkward too. I have great difficulty saying hi to someone I don't know, but once that ice is broken, you'd never know there was an issue.

Maybe he's has been checking you out for years but you just never caught him looking or he just wasn't at a point in his life where he could meet or hookup with another guy and now he's freed for some reason... so many possibilities. Let us know when you get the answer

[MikeW]

OK....well I know you're all just DYING to know what happened on Tuesday.

Well... NOTHING happened.

He was 20 minutes late for class (if I were going to be 20 minutes late for an aerobics class, I wouldn't even go!); and I've noticed he is consistently late. Could be a scheduling conflict, who knows.

I had the intention of saying something to him after class... what, exactly, I wasn't sure... something along the lines of asking, "Didn't you used to take the advanced class? .... Why did you switch to this one? ... or ... I noticed you're often late, just getting off work?" .... Something along those lines.

Anyway, I put my platform in the closet and then put my risers on the stacks. As I was doing that I was aware he was not far behind me about to do the same thing and so I figured when I turned around, that would be a good opportunity to "bump into him" (so to say). HOWEVER, just as I turned around and was about to make that move, ANOTHER OLD QUEEN started talking with him. :eek: (How dare she!!!) Well, I could tell by the expression on his face that they were 'friends' (at least gym friends.... they both have taken the advanced class for years). Well, so, I sure as hell wasn't going to just walk up and interrupt their just started conversation, nor was I just going to STAND THERE and look dumb. So, I just gathered up my stuff, went and rolled out as I always do, then headed to the locker room. Didn't see him again.

SO... since I never see him *except* on Tuesdays, we'll have to wait until next week.

See... this is what I mean... I don't really CARE enough to make this into some kind big deal. Yeah, for sure, it *might* be "nice" to make a new acquaintance; and it *might* (conceivably) lead to some fun -- but that is far from a certainty. And I'm all like, "mehhh!" If they aren't man enough to club me over the head and drag me to their lair for (as [MENTION=21495]Rareboy[/MENTION] put it) "crazy monkey sex" -- then WTF do I care?

You know Mike..
This is how we met about 3 years ago..
On Real Jock...
Remember the Thread?
There was a younger gentleman interested in you and you had the same reaction.

Lemme get blunt with you..
Why do you find it so hard to believe someone is genuinely interested in you?

Why all this energy into contemplating every scenario except engaging practically?

This will happen to you from time to time and I think you should develop a system to calm your thoughts.

Your thoughts seem to prevent you taking actual steps to simplify the reality of what is truly happening.

If I were wealthy I would hire hot guys to stare at you everywhere you went till you got over it..

You are brilliant , Handsome, very sexy and probably hung like the Vatican...
Deal with it!

Whenever you're being checked out
Tell that brain of yours to chill ...
Hugs!

OMFG, yeah, you remember that do ya? hahaha. Yeah, part of that was it just wasn't good timing... Long story I'll not go into but at that particular point in time I was damn near homeless. (Not without income, just without affordable housing in the BayArea.) I've gotten my shit back together again somewhat since then... New apartment, etc. I've thought of actually emailing the guy and seeing if he was up for getting together again. He has a book of mine I'd like to get back, come to think of it. He was in an open relationship with a man in his 80s (into geriatrics, apparently)... which works for me!

Yeah, you're right though. I've never been relaxed around this whole "meeting guys" thing. Ever. It always feels like a BFD even when I don' want it to.

But hung like the Vatican? :eek: (I don't even know wha that *means*!)

[Anocxu]

Lol..
Yeah that was the thread where I has to get down on Claystion for his attitude towards you.

Nice to see you around and doing well

CLAYSTATION.... Now THERE's an EPIC piece of forum mayhem!

[LJay]

Claystation was on here, too? Or are you talking about that other place?

I still miss the guy. He was cool and I have yet to think he was malevolent.

If you are out there Clay...well, you know. I have a collection of bourbon bottles that needs a pick up truck.

[MikeW]

Claystation was on here, too?

Nah, we wuz just remonisnn.

[Anocxu]
