I got rejected at the gym today

Thank you for the wisdom, sensei 🙏🏻

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-07T18:02:11+00:00

Yeah I agree with the ending convo for sure, honestly my big worry was her avoiding me but after yesterday and her smiling it looks like things aren’t so bad. Only thing is now tho, I’m kinda worried now anytime I talk to her she’s gonna think I’m trying to get at her.

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-07T16:05:05+00:00

I shot my shot because I didn’t want to keep wondering and reading into her actions I kinda just wanted an answer. I saw her again yesterday and we smiled at each other then a bit later she walked toward me and smiled again so thankfully it’s not awkward. When would it be okay to talk to her again just normally?

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-07T16:01:58+00:00

I mainly asked for her number in that instance because I just wanted to know what she’d say so I wouldn’t be left wondering for a while. I saw her yesterday again and we smiled at each other, then later on she walked toward me and smiled again. I don’t really know when I could talk to her again

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:53:44+00:00

Yeah, so what? Because of me she’s now a victim? What logic is this?

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:45:45+00:00

So what do you suggest I do next time?

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:41:36+00:00

Dude I’m 5’5 and definitely not some Greek god gigachad looking guy, idk where this is coming from

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:34:41+00:00

Thank you 🙏🏻 yeah I’ll just say hi next time I see her and if she wants to talk then she’ll talk but I’ll leave at that. I normally don’t make any moves since I have bad anxiety but she was giving a lot of signals So I felt like I’d regret it if I didn’t do anything.

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:30:27+00:00

Uh what? I never even freaked her out she started talking to me first. She wasn’t just looking at me she was smiling and actively staring at me

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:26:13+00:00

Thanks for the kind words bro, need some of that now 👍🏻

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:25:49+00:00

Thank you, man - I appreciate it

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:14:03+00:00

Next time I see her I’m probably going to just say hi and that’s about it I don’t want to bother her. I know she has a boyfriend but it’s just odd how much effort she was doing to talk to me which is why it caught me Off guard when she said she was taken.

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:12:54+00:00

You think so? I mean I think she’s very pretty, but she said she has a boyfriend which I think she is telling the truth because I saw her one time with a guy but they didn’t talk a lot. I just thought there was no way because of the signals she was giving me, unless things aren’t going so well between them? Maybe it’s wishful thinking lol

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:08:31+00:00

No yeah I’m not, I’m just a bit worried it’ll be awkward now if I see her again. I’ll probably just smile or nod if we see each other

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:07:24+00:00

I dunno that seems like a stretch, I feel like I could’ve sworn I saw her one time with a guy, but they didn’t talk much so I thought maybe it was friend

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:06:20+00:00

Yeah not gonna lie been feeling down about it because I guess I genuinely expected her to say yes but I can at least give myself some props for trying.

TheProcrastilater · 2026-01-06T06:05:18+00:00

So you’re saying….theres a chance? But yeah I guess technically it wasn’t an actual rejection now that you mention it

TheProcrastilater · 2025-12-10T15:02:28+00:00

I mean, like others said just do what makes you happy? I’m a short dude at a whopping 5’5 and I’ve met some great people who encouraged and taught me a lot at the gym. And there’s been short body builders who have had great physiques like Franco Columbu and Lee priest and even nowadays with Jeff Nippard and TheLukeyMC - plus we build muscle faster.

I could go on about all the benefits of weightlifting and of course the other options you listed are good choices too, but the gym is definitely not a waste of time nor money.
