CHECK IT OUT: How I got (and lost) my gym boyfriend
Pulse Picks
March 07, 2024
Everyone online complains about expensive gym subscriptions, but I have a different problem - I’m single.
Somebody told me that the gym is the perfect place to go if you want to meet hot guys. That's how I found myself at a popular gym in my area. I wore tight gym shorts and a sports bra, ready to find the love of my life. And I did. I met a handsome young tech bro.
We hung out several times after gym sessions, and we went on many dates. All of a sudden, I saw him at the gym helping out another woman with her workout. I then noticed his responses to me were a bit cold. We used to spend hours talking, but now he just passes by me and says hi.
See, I've forgotten about the gym for now. I'm interested in finding other places to meet new people.
Here are the top 5 places I'm checking out this week:
Top 5 Picks
