• I don’t think my imagination is sane

  Honestly. I’m constantly imagining situations that I want to happen, no matter how outlandish it may seem.

  So. I’ve been a member of Anytime Fitness for a year and a half. A while back, they got a new manager, Kyle. He always smiled at me, asked me how I am, blah blah. But I kind of noticed he doesn’t do that with everyone that walks in the door. Well, I was an infrequent visitor of the gym…once every couple of months at best. So I went in and said I need to cancel my membership. He convinced me not to, and I was like okay, I’ll make more of an effort to be there. He’s offered me free training more than once. When I found out that I was losing my job, I went in and said I need to cancel it for real, because I was about to become unemployed. He said that my membership was paid through December, and he would give me 2 months free membership, I could come in whenever I wanted. He again offered me free training.

  Okay, this next part requires a background story. So, the first time I met Nick in a chat, the guy that brought us together “predicted” that Nick and I would be married in December. So as a joke, we changed our FB statuses to “engaged,” hoping it would get back to this guy (which, it did). Anyway, as I was sitting in the office at Anytime Fitness, this lady who also works there, Star, came in the office and said, “Congratulations on your engagement!!” I was quite taken aback. I asked her how she knew about that, and she said she saw it on my facebook. Kyle didn’t look happy at the news that I was apparently engaged. I quickly explained that it was a joke we were playing on someone, and he laughed about it. Then, I added, “But Nick and I did decide that we are dating,” and Kyle lost the laugh and again looked like it was news that he didn’t want to hear.

  Just before Nick visited Kyle sent me an email, “checking in” and making sure I was okay. Then last week, he sent me another email telling me that they had just started a small group for people to work out, like 5 people. Kind of like a support group for fitness or something. So today I sent him an email back, asking if he was in today. He said yes, he was there until 7, but out of town the rest of the week. Soooo I put makeup on, just to go to the gym, and cancel my membership. I was under the impression that after the 2 free months I would have to start paying again, because I was pretty sure he had said I have to go in and really cancel it. Anyway, I went in, and when I first got there, there was someone else in the office, I guess it was another employee. Kyle asked me if I needed to talk to him privately, and he could have Chris leave. But I said that no, it wasn’t anything personal. He said that it was already canceled. So, why did he tell me they had started a new work out group then if I wasn’t even a member of the gym anymore? Then he went on to say that he had given me two free months and I never used it. He looked a bit bitter about that, maybe even his feelings were hurt a little. I mean, I’m sure they don’t go and give free months of membership to everyone. I know he was doing me a favor, but I hadn’t felt bad about not using the opportunity until I saw him today.

  So I looked him up on Facebook through Star, and sent him a friend request. But, what if he’s one of those people that is never on FB but has one? Should I write him an email? But I only have his work email, and he’s out of town for the rest of the week. I’m pretty sure he’s interested in me, what do you think?

  Then my imagination goes crazy and I think about him asking me out to dinner… and I wonder why he’s going out of town..to where, and if he’s going with anyone. I always imagine things in my mind. And the thing is, whenever I imagine something happening, it’s NEVER come true. Maybe my imagination is a curse.
