51 Thoughts Every Single Girl Has At The Gym

We keep ending up at machines in view of each other. Does that mean he's into me?

51 Thoughts Every Single Girl Has At The Gym
RantNOW

If you're a single woman who goes to the gym, working out has a lot of obvious benefits: it's good for your body and self-esteem. Just showing up in those leggings that make your ass look great feels like a powerful accomplishment. You do, however, occasionally enjoy the occasional (male) distraction. If you're being totally honest, your thoughts probably sound a lot like this:

1. Oh god, I don't want to do cardio today.

2. Are there other ways to warm up that make me want to die less?

3. Probably, but I'm already here. If I don't just do it, everyone will totally be able to tell that I have no clue what the fuck I'm doing. They'll know anyway.

4. Oh, shit, did the counter guy just say hi to me?

5. Time for an awkward smile.

6. Just swipe in and keep moving, he's not THAT cute, and he's probably not interested anyway. Cool your ego.

7. Holy shit, there are a lot of people here today.

8. That means more cute guys. Maybe. I hope.

9. Okay, okay, gotta pick a machine.

10. Oh my god, look at that one on the bikes.

11. Yeah, definitely doing bikes today.

12. Man, I love this song. I wish I could dance right now.

13. Fuck it, I'm going to do a teeny tiny dance move.

14. Well, he just looked at me, I hope I looked relatively coordinated.

15. Ten minutes on the bike? Yeah, I'm good with that. Especially if he sticks around.

16. Damn it, there's that girl with perfect hair and huge tits and a perfect ass.

17. Don't let her make you feel self-conscious.

17. Don't. Let. Her. Make. You. Feel. Self. Conscious.

17. STOP IT, YOU'RE A FEMINIST.

18. Was that machine there before?

19. Are my feet supposed to be together or apart for this exercise?

20. Shit, I can't even adjust this properly. I'll do a few more and then get off before anyone notices I'm totally doing this wrong.

21. No, several people definitely saw me doing this wrong.

22. THEY KNOW I'M A FAKE.

23. Shit, he just looked at me and I'm not into it. Avoid eye contact so he doesn't think I'm interested.

24. What in the hell kind of logic is that?

25. I curse a lot.

26. I should move out of his mirror.

27. Wait, I was here first. HE should move.

28. Or am I just being courteous?

29. Feminism is so confusing sometimes.

30. Eh, it's a male-dominated space, I'll hold my ground.

31. I look gooood.

32. Well, that one's cute, but I literally can't tell if he's 17 or 24.

33. How have I lost the ability to tell how old someone is?

34. He just checked me out.

35. I'm gonna have to make it look like there's a reason I've been sitting at this machine so long.

36. Fuck what do I do next?

37. I've been on my phone too long.

38. The guy on the next machine over is cute and doesn't have a shit ton of leg hair, that's a good sign.

39. Wow, he's using that really difficult machine I tried like one time and haven't touched since.

40. Is he looking at me??

41. ...am I still 15?

42. Did he just look at me again?

43. Time to look really into my workout so it doesn't look like I noticed him.

44. ...that is not how to express mutual interest. You can do better than this.

45. We keep ending up at machines in view of each other. Does that mean he's into me?

46. Okay, stop obsessing and just work out.

47. Wow, I can really feel this working my ass.

48. Shit, I lost count. How many sets have I done?

49. Have I been listening to this song since I got here?

50. I think it's time to stretch out.

51. Why do all the cutest ones get here right when I leave?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
