I’m intrigued now.

There is a guy at the gym that has me thoroughly intrigued. He’s not model good looking or stunning but definitely very cute in my books and from what I’ve seen, totally the kinda guy I could see me introducing to my family.

The intriguing bit kicks in because I get the odd smile and more recently hellos have been exchanged in a very casual way. It’s a kind of very mild flirting but he has a wedding ring on. I’m never the guy that straight-but-curious guys flirt with and test curiosity so I’m finding it quite amusing, knowing full well there will most likely never be an answer to the mystery. It’s a fun little intrigue to add to motivation to get to the gym so early.

    Just TALK to him. God, how can you make things so complicated?

    Say ‘hello’…gay or str8, just because he smiles at you doesn’t mean he wants to fuck you….

    and if he is str8, he can be gym friends with a gay man.

    and if he is gay, he may be in a relationship, which doesn’t mean he can’t be a friend.

    geez….

    Hey Bren

    I agree with the other two. He may be just a nice friendly non-judgemental sort of guy who does not even know you are gay.

    On the other hand he may be gay and married to someone else and fancies the speedos off you.

    Relax and enjoy it.

    A big hug

    Love your blog

    Hey Brenton,

    I often had a ring on the weddingfinger, but I was never married, so give him a chance.
    I’m more like you, I think. I would never walk to a guy and ask if he is gay or straigt…haha.
    Mabye you can work out next to him, or something like that!
    (I’m sorry for this bad english, this is not my language)

    I’m with you Sue.

    Brenton - stop being a drama queen - yes I know you don’t like people saying that but you are a drama queen.

    You overcomplicate things and read into things way more/less than is there.

    It’s not your fault. You live in sydney and it is daily life. But stop it. You are hurting yourself.

    Leave the drama for others - all you’ll continue to be miserable.

    I am a lecturer and I wear a wedding ring to stop female students from hitting on me, so he might not be married, and he might not be straight. Ask him to join you for a skinny decaf soy latte. His reaction to that should tell you all you need to know.
