The next decade....what's in store?

The Dude at the gym

Ok, so here is what happened.

I was in the weights area about to do some upper body work on a bench, when a dude comes over and tells me how he has noticed that I have lost weight. Yeah! He said he been noticing me and then asked if I work at Red Stripe.

Nope, I don't live here.
Where do you live?
Grenada.
Oh, you look like somebody who works at Red Stripe. But anyway, I been noticing you and there is a big change from when I saw you early in the year.
Thanks!
So how long you here for?
I'm leaving on 8 January.
Ok.

So he leaves me to do my thing. A little bit later he walks back over.

I didn't get your name. I'm D____
I'm Yamfoot (no of course I didnt say that, but you know what I mean!)
To be honest you know, I've been watching you a long time. You're a very attractive lady.
(I now look in the mirror in front of me to see what he is seeing. He smiles and says....)
Yeah man, you same one.
Thanks!
But I been noticing that you taking it easy with the weights.
Yes, I don't normally come around to the weights room. Is only because there is no Pilates class why I am here.
Oh, but you should do some weights. Help to sculpt your body.
Well the Pilates has worked for me, as you can see. (me being cheeky). Actually you should try the class. All the men who have come, come once and dont come back.
Why is that?
Because the exercise works your abs in a different way from the thousand of crunches you do.
oh, I don't really do crunches you know. I don't like working my abs (he has a flat stomach though).

Can't remember how that conversation ended but I left shortly after. Oh, he was pushing the weight training because of what it did for him. He said he used to be big.

Anyway, so I go home, and I tell the story at home. Everybody want to know how ah just leave it so....if ah neva get number, find out if him married etc!!!! Well I didnt think that is every man who I meet, I supposed to be looking to date them. When I left to go to the gym a few days after, they said they want to hear about Part 2. My mum was even giving me examples of questions I could ask to subtly find out if he is married or otherwise attached!

BTW. I haven't seen him since. I haven't been particularly looking out. No tree neva did grow in him face, but I just was focused on my workout and am focused on that when I go to the gym. Not finding a date. And remember, I don't date. It's a waste of time. Unless is to a cricket match.
