Dating a triathlete... (Page 2)

"I enjoy sharing quiet moments together." Really means: It's taper time. Just back off because I am strategizing and in a pissy mood because I am worried about my "A" race and can't workout.

"I enjoy road trips and leisurely drives." Really means: You have your choice of Wisconsin, Idaho, Florida, California, Arizona, and Canada, but don't expect to do much site seeing. If I get enough support from you we might be able to include Hawaii in there.

OMG!  This is hilarious!  Being recently divorced and jumping back into the dating scene, I am going through this as we speak...

Me:  I need to get home a little early.

My date:  For what?

Me:  I'm getting up at 7am to run 10 miles.

My date:  For fun?

Me:  Uhhhhh, yeah.  Want to join me?

My date:  No.

Me:  It was nice to meet you.

 

(Ha ha... that didn't really happen, but most of the guys I am dating think I am completely nutso! )

Ok, so here is the latest dating or almost dating saga for me......

I met this guy at a party a few weeks ago and he asked for my number. He seemed nice and we chatted at the party so I didn't mind giving it to him. Well, when he called we did the chat and get to know each other. I told him about the triathlons that I am training for and he immediately compares my 8-10 hours a week of training to his 4 days a week at the gym. Now, I am NOT a tri snob but I just think what we do is completely different than doing the eliptical or stair climber. He then proceeded to tell me that he rides his bike to the gym (all of 2 miles) and then starts laughing about the distances that I am training for and what not. I proceeded to tell him that I really don't go out too often and that I have had to cut back on adult beverages and then he goes of laughing and telling me to stop and that I need to learn to live life and that I shouldn't be like that....

Can anyone tell me why I have yet to return his phone call?!?!?!?

My theme song is "Another one bites the dust"

Thought this was funny.... but true

Dating a triathlete...

"I am an active person." Really means: Aside from my 40 hour job, and the 8 mandatory hours of sleep a night. 10 hours a week are devoted to me during the off-season and 20 during race season leaving us 4 hours. 2 of which are spent inhaling food and you not talking to me, so let's make the best of the 2 hours we will spend together on average each day. If you are a licensed message therapist or doctor this would make the most optimal use of our time together. Nutritionist is also acceptable, but I probably already know just as much as you.

Wait, other people get 2 hours A DAY?

This doesn't include two hours a day on BT.com.

I HATE when people tell me I need to "live" or "relax". Happens all the time. HATE.

hehe.. My mother thinks I exercise "too much".

(She doesn't exercise.)

Bleah!
Of course, you have to know your limitations..... but there's nothing wrong with trying to stretch and push your limits a little, too!

I'm better off finding someone who is also athletic and active even if she's not into the all the same sports.
Athletic girls are hotter.

Wow guys, this got popular quick!  Gina76, I can't believe you haven't called that gym rat back yet. LOL  Glad you guys enjoyed.

carrie1 - 2007-06-30 5:12 PM GRRRRRRR It gets me all fired up when people say "relax" & "you need to learn to live a little & have fun." I'm having the time of my life....Can't they see that

I actually just had a date (last night) with a triathlete freak (a currently injured one).  He sooo totally understands training - LOVE IT!!  Bonus points for him right off the buzzer. 

 Once I dated a guy and the FIRST F'ING thing he said to me when he found out I had a stress fracture was..."now you can spend more time with me."   Um....SEE YA you selfish ****!

 In any case, I'm digging that this recent guy is into the same things as I am.  We will see how this works out.  I've never dated anyone that was a runner or into any of the things I'm passionate about. Should  be interesting
