Every now and then, I wonder what's happened to all the guys that I've encountered over the years, and whether I'll ever run into any of them again. This thought wasn't in my mind yesterday when I went along to one of my usual group exercise gym classes, but during my class, I notice that there are a couple of new male participants that I haven't seen there before.
"That new guy looks cute :-)," I think to myself during one of the pauses between exercises.
Then suddenly I recognise him! It's a guy who I'd visited for fun on a few occasions early last year. I'd even gone out for dinner with him once, after which he came back and stayed the night with me in my house. I had wondered whether he'd make a nice boyfriend, but after the dinner I'd decided that he was a bit dull, so I didn't pursue anything with him.
Nonetheless, I remember that he's a nice guy so all through the class I keep glancing in his direction, trying to smile at him and make eye contact. However, either he doesn't notice, or he doesn't want to notice! Perhaps he's upset that I wasn't interested in deepening our casual friendship.
"Hey," I say to him after the class, "I think I visited you in your apartment last year :-)."
He looks at me and smiles, but it's quite a distant smile.
"Yes," he says after a short pause, "I think we have met before."
"Have you done that class before?" I ask, trying to make the conversation last, "I haven't noticed you in there before."
"I only started recently," he replies, "but I'm quite enjoying it."
We chat a bit more as we both head to the men's changing room, and gradually the conversation becomes easier.
Once in the changing room, we make our way to our own lockers, which turn out to be quite close to each other. He's a bit faster than me at stripping off, and as I'm about to take my shorts off, I look up to see him smiling at me.
"Hey," he says, with a cute smile on his face and looking me straight in the eye, "are you coming into the sauna?"
All his muscles are glistening slightly with sweat. Indeed, he looks magnificent standing there wearing nothing except a white towel around his waist, which only just covers his essentials so that it's possible to see a bit of pubic hair peeping over the towel.
"Um," I reply, hesitating, "actually I got to get back to work :-(".
"Pity ...," he says, looking me up and down approvingly.
"See you soon I hope :-)," I say smiling at him, and with that he heads off towards the sauna.
Later, I tell boyfriend T all about what happened.
"So why didn't you go into the sauna with him?" he asks me.
"I don't need to do that kind of thing any more, not now that I've got you :-)."
"Well indeed," says boyfriend T looking at me disapprovingly, "so you're supposed to tell him that you've got a boyfriend in that situation!"
"But I couldn't say that I've got a boyfriend in the middle of the changing room with lots of other guys around," I protest, "because that would have given all the other guys more information that they probably want to know about me!"
"And anyway," I continue, "although I knew that 'Are you coming into the sauna' meant 'shall we have fun in the the sauna', no one else would have known that, so saying 'No, I have a boyfriend' would have been a strange answer!"
"Don't worry," laughs boyfriend T, smiling at me now, "just kidding! You know that I'm OK if you want to do whatever, as long as you're honest with me :-)."
Whenever I talk to boyfriend T about this, I always think I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful and understanding boyfriend :-). Perhaps that's why I don't feel the need to have fun with lots of other guys any more!
