Triathlon Dating Thread Ver 2.0 (Page 3)

He likes you

yep

This reminds me of a date I had before I met the one I'm marrying in September. Went on the run with the guy after I met him at a running store.  I couldn't keep up because he was way more of a serious runner (I was less into endurance sports then).  And in the middle of the run date, he farted.  

And then the discovery that he was still very much living with his girlfriend put the full kiss of death on it.

So remember, don't cheat and don't toot on the first date!

It's like date 6 or 7.  She can keep up for the most part, hell she BQ'd on her first ever full.  That really turns me on.  

My last two relationships were with triathletes. I do have to say the level of understanding and support was awesome. For the most part.

Bad thing is, one of them still lives here so we bump into each other at almost every run/tri club/triathlon/bar/match.com/etc. We have so many common interests it's just inevitable. Yes, Facebook, I know we have 56 friends in common. No, Match.om, I don't want to be matched with my ex even though you show we are 100% match

I hear that.  I run the bike store in town, pretty sure I'll get to see my ex every now and then.  Like last winter when I got to help her do Christmas shopping for her new guy.

I am very reluctantly admitting you guys might have been right.
Stage 3 clinger. Annoying at best.

After an exhausting weekend of calls, texts, him getting upset a lot, I sent a text (yeah I'm a texter not a phone talker, whatevs) trying to explain that I need the guy I'm dating to understand that I get busy in life, don't live next to my cell phone, my plans change often, etc. He needs to be OK and flexible with that.

What I really wanted to say was BACK THE F OFF and RELAX. Ugh.

Where is the balance between completely apathetic and the clinger-type? I have yet to find it.

I bow to the prophetic powers of this thread.

Despite how many times I hear it, it never gets old.

A girl I met at my friend Pam's house warming party and I dated for about a week, and then we just decided to be friends.  She told me during our second date (about three weeks ago) that she got me something for all my hard work and training.  Last night, a few weeks after I met her, she gave it to me.  I opened it, and it's the $500 watch that I mentioned to my friend Pam at her housewarming party that I wanted, after Pam showed us the one she bought for a guy that she met the week before.  So two girls buy $500 watches for guys they've known for just a couple weeks...seriously..."BACK THE F OFF AND RELAX" was the exact thing running through my mind.  Did I mention Pam's not seeing her guy anymore either?  UGH no crap!  I seriously would have appreciated a couple of GU's and a "good luck on your next ride" just as much.  What stage clinger is this?!?

Whoa? Really? Eep. Um, I'm going to a housewarming party for the guy I hiked with yesterday and I'm getting him a $17 ceramic spoon rest made by an artist friend of mine.... That's not over the top, is it?

Haha no...I think you're safe...but what ever happened to "I saw this and thought about you" gifts?  Those are my favorite...although I must admit it does look fantastic on my wrist lol
