Major success IMO

This is unbelievably deranged.

Not a fuck up. You did great!

Yes, absolutely. Usually if your blood pressure drops too low, but it is common to pass out from high BP as well. Dizziness, losing balance, fainting are all symptoms of BP issues.

Is blood pressure related to passing out? I have times where I feel like I am gonna pass out and have actually fell sometimes and I do have high blood pressure but did not think that was why but after reading your story maybe it is?

For her side, yeah what you said makes sense, but, assuming this is real, the bf getting out of a kidnapping is a pretty fucking big reason, not excuse.

I totally misread addition as addiction and was really confused at first. Well, now you know to make sure you ask better questions or just questions in general about these things. Sucks you lost some memory, but sounds like you'll be ok overall!

My man, this is the exact opposite of a fuck up. You treated her as a person, an equal and that is huge. You weren't a "bro" and I can tell that it didn't go unnoticeed by us, or by her. From her perspective, she had an interaction where she wasn't being hit on, which is probably refreshing.

Idk. Im pretty sick of seeing it irl tbh. Like mate. Im trying to use the urinal here. And don't get me started about the self absorbed cretins doing selfies in the changing rooms

You're cardio.

She's strength.

It will never work.

Sorry dude I know your probably coming from a good place but you sound like a total creeper. The type of dude my wife tells me about from her gym, woman are totally aware when you’re checking them out even from across the gym. Just go talk to her straight up. Start with something about working out, make her laugh and see if she wants to go get some coffee.

It was a comment that had nothing to do with OP's fuck up and was inserted only to insult this guy that OP was jealous of for talking to some random girl he has been watching for a while now. A bathroom selfie at the gym is the least super cringe thing in this story haha

He knows what it means lol. It's just that it's pretty pathetic and childish to have a serious crush on a random stranger.

OP has basically been stalking this girl for months whereas she had literally no idea who he was until today.

OP how old are you? It's honestly really immature to be this caught up on some random girl you don't even know, and coming up with little "plans" on how to talk to her. I think you need to get more women in your life because this isn't healthy. If nothing ever comes of this, which is honestly a 99% chance (5 guys approach her a day dude and how many of them succeeded?), then you'll have wasted a serious amount of time and energy fixated on this all for nothing.

Download Tinder and hit some bars with your friends or something.

Diaper rash cream - that stuff is made to NOT wash off. I could feel the "wetness barrier" all freakin day

Let it grow, buddy. There's no rush really, since she's at the same gym. Immediately asking everything about her might ruin it, I think it's much cooler to get to know each other in peace, since you don't even know whether you like each other or not. You gained the permission to have a conversation with her in the future too, since the initial step is already been taken and the most polite (and therefore least telling) small talk is behing you, it's way less hard to start again. Maybe eventually you'll want her number or something later on but right know - I think you made the right call.

Sleek, keep working on it.

This ain’t a fuck up. If she asks you to spot her on the smith machine you know you’re in.

I thought it was going to go "I walked up to her and then she started to scream at me that I was staring at her"

keep us informed on the follow up the next gym session

I mean this is esentially ... "I spoke to my crush at the gym today" - but because really lets be honest, no one cares, they re-frame it as a TIFU....without any real actual fuckup.

Yeah, and when you do, don’t forget to shit yourself.

Nah I'm the below average 120lb Redditor

Sorry to break it to ya. She's got a bf.
