I went to the gym and when I jumped on the treadmill the freaken thing wouldn't start (button was stuck) I was about to move to another and the man that jumped on next to me got mine started. I thanked him and proceeded to do my 5k. But couldn't help but glance back at him now and then because he looked REALLY familiar.
He reminded me of a "hot dad" I'd seen at a Christmas program, but I knew it wasn't him (hot dad has dark hair, his is light). He also looked like a McDonough, but I was pretty sure he wasn't since I know them all. Over the next hour and a half I keep glancing trying to decide if I know him or not. I also was trying to talk myself into (or maybe out of) asking him his name so I could STOP wondering.
As I was about to leave I gave in. I walked up and mentioned that he looks really familiar, and asked if perhaps he had kids at DMCS. I really didn't want to appear as though I was coming on to him, I just wondered. He said no, he didnt. He told me his name (which I did not recognize) and asked if maybe we went to school together. We established that I was a BA girl and he was a public school kid. He was friends with my friends older brother though, so that could be it. I apologized for bothering him and said "I just didn't want you to wonder why the crazy person kept staring at you". At which point he said he didnt notice but had he, he woulda been sure to work extra hard. I laughed and started to leave. As I was walking away he asked for my name (which I had forgot to give) and we did the usual name associations with Cecil Fielder (he pointed out) and Chuck Cecile (I pointed out). He then proceeded to let me know in a "harmless" way that he did NOT have children at DMCS; as he was single with only his black lab. At this point, I wonder, is that NORAMAL to throw in the conversation...so I nervously go to fidget with my wedding ring, which I notice I'm not wearing. Which makes me more nerouse, so I quickly say "nice to meet you" and make my exit......
So I have a new friend. At the gym. And he's HOT. Dangit .
Now I will be THAT much more self consious. No worries all. He aint got nothing on Kev.
