I have a question to pose to everyone who works out, just to start a dialogue. “It’s for fun.” :) I’ve heard many opinions about this from friends.

Would you consider approaching and meeting someone who works out at the same gym that you do and asking them out on a date???

So many pros and cons to this. Let’s start with the pros.

1. You both share a passion for fitness.

2. You can spend time together getting fit and healthy.

3. You can go out to eat at healthy restaurants together. I always think it’s easier to eat healthy when the person you’re with does too.

 I’m probably missing a lot. How about some of the obvious cons:

1. The person may be in a relationship already, or may just not be interested, and you may get rejected. Then you’d have to face that person on a regular basis. Talk about AWKWARD. And I don’t know about you, but I want to feel as comfortable as possible while working out.

2. Some people don’t want to be bothered when they’re working out - AT ALL - and may get mad to be interrupted or even offended by people trying to socialize or pick up dates at the gym. 

3. If the person is at the gym that much, they might be really shallow or vain.

4. It’s not easy to approach someone while you feel like you don’t look your best. (I know wearing old dingy workout clothes while out of breath and sweaty isn’t my best look.)

5. You really have no idea what the person is about other than they work out and what they look like, which isn’t much.

What do you guys think????
