So I've fked up.

There is a PT at the gym who I've been flirting with for the last couple of months, got chatting last night and she's invited me out on a date. Well, I say date - it's a Team GB fitness workout. Usually just stick to weights with a bit of running. After looking for more info it course I came up with this prize quote.

"think of all the exercises you know such as squats, lunges, planks and push-ups and then add about 300 per cent more torture to them and you will get the idea of what happened during this class" (I never do any of these exercises)

Feel she is struggling under the misapprehension I'm some kind of gym bunny where actually to describe myself as a dilettante would be generous. My ruse will be discovered on Friday for sure, all the chatting about how incredible Sweet Potatoes are as a source of low GI carbs and holding my beer belly in whever I see her is going to all be for nothing.

Sure you're not just a new client ?
It does sound somewhat like one of those situations where one person thinks it's a date and the other does know, leading to a very awkward moment, hehe

A date at the gym?

What's wrong with a trendy bar where you're surrounded by yuppies and a crispy fried duck?

Well, it's not a date. Not the kind I've ever been on before anyway.

I'm unfamiliar with how it works for health nut types so maybe it's 'normal' in their world?

More of a meet a girl in a bar, take her home, wake up and look over and think 'not bad' - a relationship goes from there kinda guy.

Awkward moment is best case, I'm imagining it to be an awkward hour with me sweating like a dyslexic on countdown and trying to look like I'm not dying.

Even if she does want to take things further after all that I doubt I'll be in any fit state to entertain drinks afterwards.

This is something that would happen to me. Then I'd realise that I don't have any sports clothes so I'd have to borrow a pair of Silver Shadows off my dad. And then my school PE shirt and shorts.

And I'd look like a hairy, pallid, lanky 14 year old in his dad's trainers.

This is going to be worryingly close the reality of the situation Robin.

I'm no natural athlete and always picked table tennis over football at school.

My 'success' criteria for this rendezvous hinges on the emergency services not being called and no permanent injuries.

CountZero23 - Right, I'm seeking the positives here.

1) She asked you to attend. Surely that is a positive.
2) There is potential here! Your lady may see that you require a tad more conditioning, and could, maybe, just maybe, offer her services, therefore becoming your 'Personal' personal trainer.

Failing that, Oxygen Tents could be a cosy place for 2.

There are certainly a few positives Rob.

She's been a right little coquet with me for last last couple of months. Mentioned I was doing a sky dive the next weekend so naturally she asked if I'd seen the skydive sex video... I hadn't but it certainly took the conversation in an interesting direction.

Sure when I was a teenager I might of thought she was just making small talk, call me presumptuous but I think that might be a bit flirty?

My concern is more concerning life changing injuries while I try to 'keep up' as apposed to the usual dating faux pas. Put in in a cocktail bar with a pretty girl and I can hold my own, the gym is not my natural environment.

Aforementioned video. Do I need to say not work safe?

Sounds like suggestive flirting to me.

If you can get through the gym stuff (I couldn't) then you might have a pretty good chance.

Do you need to keep up?
In my humble opinion, being there and giving it your best shot is a more worthy gesture.

About as subtle as an elephant in the kitchen to my perverted mind Robin.

Unfortunately keeping up is pretty much a given as there is a competitive 'team' element to the class. We will be a team and given the January batch of new year resolution fatties has dried up I imagine we'll be pitted against some Dolph Lundgren lookalikes.

Indeed Calza. I feel this girl could have potential. Apparently The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating as "any activity which could be distracting to a pilot" violates federal regulations. That going on the in back of your sky wagon would probably qualify.

This is all hilarious and everything, but are you sure you've not got the wrong end of the stick? Maybe she feels bad for you not progressing at the gym and it's a friendly offer to get fitter quickly without any romantic invovement at all?

I cant help but sit here and wonder what the update is going to be, in my mind it's that you've made a breathless sweaty wheezing pass at her and she's legged it and leaves her job

As a PT (or anyone really) she'll have a pretty good idea of how fit you are simply by looking at you.

To my mind it doesn't sound like she's invited you on a date at all though - just doing her job, the poor thing!

Sounds fine to me.

The only way to never get in there is to bow out and make a crap excuse.

Worst case - you get carted off in an ambulance covered in your own poo. Anything other than that is a bonus.

My ex did her best to remove them and didn't manage it so should be fine over the course of one work out...

Nice work, being single in your 30's is epic. Over the last year mine have ranged from 18 to 42.

School, all the hot girls are dating college guys.
College, all the hot girls are dating uni guys.
Uni, all the hot girls are dating guys with jobs.

30's: All the 'hot' girls aren't so hot anymore and you've got your pick of the younger bunch.

Couldn't agree more. I spent a weekend with a 37 year old the weekend before last. She was a bit too old for my liking though. I went on a date with a 25 year old on Tuesday but she was a bit too quiet and shy. Hopefully one out of these two on the weekend will have the mix just right. If I'm lucky then both will!
