calveless wonder said:i don't like dating people where i can see them frequently. the awkwardness is not worth it. if it's awkward enough you have to change your gym schedule or gym
+1 I agree with calveless.
even if the dinner goes poorly it'll make things more awkward at the gym if you're both there. Shit what if you date him for a couple of months and he turns out to be a real creepo. you'd have to change gyms.
Ask yourself, why did YOU create this rule not to date guys from your gym?? go over those reasons again and think about it.
