Sooo this happened like 2 days ago and I still wanna melt into the floor every time I think about it 🙃
So I (26F) go to this gym a few times a week after work. Nothing crazy, just trying to stay somewhat functional lol. There's this guy who's always there around the same time—let’s call him “Cute Guy in Blue Shirt” (he literally always wears blue I swear it’s like his gym uniform). Anyway, he's kinda shy but has this cute awkward energy?? Like he helps ppl rerack weights and always wipes stuff down and idk I just started crushing on him HARD.
So, I finish my lil cardio + struggle session, and I see him in the corner doing stretches. I decide to be brave (read: dumb) and go stretch near him just to maybe say hiiiii 👀
We ended up chatting! I said something cringe like “You always stretch so seriously, are you secretly training for a marathon or something?” and he LAUGHED. I was dying inside but also like ok maybe I’m pulling this off??
Here's where the universe decided to humble me.
I was doing one of those pigeon stretches (don’t judge, my hips are angry 24/7) and when I tried to stand up, I somehow forgot how legs work?? My foot got caught on my bag and I legit launched this poor guy’s protein shaker like a lil football 😭 it FLEW like 5 feet and hit the wall. Protein everywhere. Like some poor vanilla crime scene.
Everyone looked. Like the whole gym went quiet for a sec. And I just stood there like 🧍♀️
I start apologizing like “OMG I’m SO sorry I swear I’m not usually a menace” and he just... BURSTS out laughing?? Like full on laughing, not annoyed at all. He goes “Welp, guess I needed a new one anyway.”
I literally offered to buy him a new one on the spot and he was like “only if you drink one too.” (excuse me sir?? is this a smoothie date??)
So yeah… we got smoothies after and he’s actually super sweet and way funnier than I expected. We’ve been texting since. I might’ve actually flirt-fumbled my way into something cute 🥲
TL;DR: Tried to flirt with my gym crush, stood up like a newborn giraffe, accidentally kicked his protein shake across the gym. He laughed. I died inside. But somehow we ended up getting smoothies and texting after?? So... win??
