Dating a personal trainer
| Thu, 04-15-2004 - 2:57am |
Last year, I dated a personal trainer at my gym. He wasn't my trainer, but everyone I knew gave me a hard time about dating him. They said that I shouldn't date a trainer because all they do is mess around with as many women at the gym as they can get and they'll dump you the minute another girl walks through the door and pretend that you no longer exist. I can see that with some of the other trainers, but with the one I dated, he just doesn't seem like the type of guy. Things didn't work out with us because of his busy schedule and other personal issues he was going through. For a while, I suspected that he may have dumped me for another girl at the gym. But that whole notion just didn't seem plausible because I would work out while the other girl was there and he would still talk to me and try to flirt with me a little. I mean, if he really was dating her, I don't think that he would flirt with me while she was around. But he did. He ended up leaving to work at another gym over the summer and we lost touch. But he ended up coming back to my gym and the minute we saw each other, we ran up to one another and gave each other a big hug in the middle of the gym. It sounds cheesy. He and I started talking again at the gym and we planned on working out together and hanging out sometime, but neither one of us really made an effort to. I guess we were both weary about how the other felt. Anyways, he and I barely talk now, but we're still on friendly terms whenever we see each other at the gym. I've been dating someone new for the past couple of months and I'm just crazy over my new guy. But people still give me a hard time for dating a trainer. Anyways, the whole point of this is that I just wanted to know other people's experiences or opinions about dating a trainer. Honestly, I think he's a very nice guy. He just needs to sort out some things in his life, but one day he will make a good catch for someone.

I dated a personal trainer, but I didn't meet him at the gym. There was no problem with infidelity or roving eyes. What matters is the way you meet someone and, more importantly, develop a relationship -- not their profession.

Boy, I couldn't believe it when I read your story --- it could have been mine. I had a relationship with a trainer, but he was my trainer. Everything was great for about 6 months, then he moved away. We kept in contact via e-mail, but I always had the feeling that our relationship wasn't "real" that he was just saying what I wanted to hear so I would keep buying training sessions.He was also younger than me. With those two things going and because I was overweight when we met, I was always insecure about the situation, saying to myself, "Why would he like me - he could have anybody? I don't know what he sees in me". Well, that attitude ultimately doomed our relationship. He did come back a couple of months ago. We e-mailed a couple of times,and talked on the phone once, but I haven't heard from him in a month. He's seeing someone else now, so it doesn't really matter anyway. But I still miss him.
