Dude, I haven't posted in quite some time. I just have some amazing ideas that I'd love to post. But I just don't have the time. I just need to keep them shorter and sweeter.

Okay. I went to 24hr Fitness tonight. I try to do it about 3-4 times per week. It's a minimum to prevent turning into a vegatable. I was doing my tricep extensions at the cable machines. While doing my usual routine, a cute young girl starts to approach the machines. She looks like she's somewhat new to weight lifting and doesn't seem very familiar with how to use the machines.

The girl smiles at me as I glance her way. So what the heck, I might as well be friendly too. Here's a paraphrase of our dialogue:

me: "So, what are you working on?"
cute girl: "I'm going through a routine that my coach gave me on this list."
me: "Cool. What sport do you play?"
cute girl: "Volleyball."
me: "Nice. Which team do you belong to?" (I ask this to figure out how young she is.)
cute girl: "I play for a club in San Diego."
me: "Is that a school team or a private team?
cute girl: "It's a private team. I'm trying out for the team at my school, City College of San Diego. The coach at the college told me to work out according to this list."
me: "Wow! That's pretty cool. How long have you played at CCSD?"
cute girl: "I've been there for 2 years and I'm going into my third year. I want to transfer to UCSD."
me: "Sounds good. Are you going to play for UCSD?"
cute girl: "I don't know yet. I might want to just concentrate on school."
me: "So what did your coach tell you to work on today?"
cute girl: "I'm supposed to work on shoulders and abs."
me: "Hmmm, I think that machine you're on will focus on your triceps and back muscles. You should be careful on that machine. It can be rather uncomfortable."

I decided to do another set of tricep pulls while she started to do some more back exercises. While we were talking, I noticed from the corner of my eye that two guys were watching us. One guy looked like he was turning greener and greener every second. He was wearing orange and blue shorts and white shirt. But his Chinese complexion looked greener with envy as I talked to his girl.

So while I was was busy with my set, intentionally doing 20 reps to make 100lb tricep extensions look like cake, the jealous boyfriend pulled the cute girl away from the machine next to mine. They were just about five feet away, so I could still hear their conversation.

Jealous BF: "Don't you ever talk to any other guys at the health club! You don't know they're trying to hit on you?"
Cute girl: "I was just talking about exercises and that guy was helping me figure out my routines."
Jealous BF: "Those guys have only one thing in mind when they talk to girls at health clubs. If you're going to be my girlfriend, I order you not to talk to any other guys. I can tell you any exercise you need to know."

By now, I'm starting to chuckle, laughing uncontrollably inside. I couldn't believe how jealous this guy was feeling. I had no idea that I could make any guy feel jealous or possessive about his girl. I usually don't think of myself as a "threat" to most guys' girl friends. But in this situation, I obviously struck a chord in this dude's envious ego.

I never did find out that girls name. She's kinda cute. But I feel bad for her that she has such a jealous boyfriend. If I ever dated a hottie, I would let her decide to be loyal to me. She can have her friends. I would trust my hottie to know how much I mean to her. I would never force her to value me.

There's a saying that I'll paraphrase: "If you love a girl, let her go and live freely. And if she comes back, you'll know that she is truly yours."
