Please delete if I’m not following the rules correctly. Hi gentlemen. I (30F) am attempting to rejoin the dating scene after dealing with a divorce — I am so out of touch with dating and men at this point. I am an intermediate weightlifter and I would say I am fairly conventionally attractive. Sure I get stared at in the gym, but plenty of times I will see those same guys showing up a week later with a girlfriend. Men are plenty nice to me. I have already given my number to someone (who I caught staring) who then turned me down for having a girlfriend. It was embarrassing and now I avoid this person. I don’t know how to tell who is actually single if men typically just… stare anyways. I know this is not a bad problem to have but I would love to meet a man who is as into weightlifting as I am. Thanks for any insight. Edit: I have tried to talk to a few folks who stare. I’m trying to suss out before I put my foot in my mouth. submitted by /u/anonymoussleepyfrog
