Your gym time and friends, family, bf/gf, wife, kids . . . .
I am sure this subject has been talked about before but last night it was brought to my attention. Ok, this guy I have only dated a handful of times asked me to go out and I told him maybe, I have things to do, PLUS the weather was horrible. I always workout in the evenings no matter what, Gym time is MY time and I dont change it for anyone. I don't see the need to party/drink during the week, unless its a special occasion like a work-related event or the . . . World Series. Anyways I have explained this to him and everyone around me and I thought he would respect it but NO, NO, NO he sends me this nasty text message and I now I feel bad! Am I really selfish or what?
You are chosing a lifestyle.... Not just some silly plans for the evening...
If you schluff off the WO for this... whats next?
Stick to your guns baby!!!
You must make him understand this is a way of life for you...
and then if he doesn't apologize in earnest, he's a selfish prick, dump him completely,
because this will only be the tip of the iceberg!
(Oh, and I've been there more than once)
If he understands he will be truly sorry...
And if it were me, and I really cared, I would send flowers as a solid

.... I always workout in the evenings no matter what, Gym time is MY time and I dont change it for anyone....
I think you answered your own question. I work out alone 3-4 times a week plus one or two extra times at Bally's so that I can train with my wife. No big deal but it is time consuming.
I am not even going to think about him anymore, we only dated a few times, we didn't even KISS!!! (i am a prude!!!) The fact that he actually said something hurt my feelings, thats why I started thinking I was selfish, but really F-him! I will never see him again anyways.
and another thing I have been working out since 2000 and I have yet to find a gym partner, I want one sometimes! But my friends don't workout and my ex never did. I wish I can find someone to hit the gym with me every now and then, everyone on this board is helpful but I cant take you guys to the gym!

He sounds like a keeper
Nothing better than a mate who rips down your self esteem and pisses on your dreams and desires....
I say Marry him before he gets away

It's time to move on.. maybe you can meet someone who likes to lift with you and do other intense activities... someone like..... myself.

Although I don't recommend going to gym just to look for a date or lover, etc. But I do think you will find a lot of dedicated guys that enjoy working out, discussing nutrition and whatnot. At least you will have that in common. The guy you are talking about doesn't seem to give a damn about your interests at all...so I vote GET RID OF HIM.
He has no right to send you a nasty text message just because you aren't available to date for one damned night, IMO. How about there is always tomorow or another day? Seriously.
My social life is very limited because of gym time, and I try to avoid eating out when I do go out unless its really a somewhat rare occasion.
Your lifestyle, your business, your right - nothing to have to appologize for. If he can't accept it too bad. Tell him to go date some fat chick!

You aren't being selfish at all. I am the same way sometimes. For example, I just starting bulking again and wanted this bulk to be more serious than my last one. I partially blame my girlfriend for ruining the last month + of my cut since I lost strictness when dating her (missing workouts, eating poorly, etc.). Either way, it doesn't matter to me too much, as I am definately not fat, and she gave me the ok to stop cutting and start bulking (I asked her what she'd like more). BUT, she still likes to come over right after my last class (6:30pm), which is when I usually work out after I eat. Sometimes I will tell her to either come later (which a lot of times she can't, or chooses not too because it's too late) OR, I will choose to workout earlier in the day BEFORE my later classes so we can hang out.. still not missing the workouts though.
Also, thought I should add.. if he is actually mad about "YOU" (I say this because your habits make you who you are) this early in the relationship, then you can already tell this is not the guy you want to be with. Understanding and putting up with someone's weird quirks and habits are very important in any relationship. And if he doesn't have the balls to complain in person and does it through text message... 'nuff said.
Sorry for posting again, but another thought... I had recently said I wouldn't date a girl who didn't work out as much as I did because she could never understand my "weird health quirks" (workout routine, eating habit and diet, etc.)... but I actually happen to be dating a girl who doesn't fit that criteria. However, we are close because she knows about these quirks and is totally cool with it. She has also tried to adapt to better suit my way of living, by not eating out as much and settling for my home cooked meals. Find someone who will at least do that much for you.
I might be getting transferred to Houston, if I end up there I'll hit the gym with ya. Plus I won't know anyone there so it would be cool to have someone help out with that. This will be my 5th city in 6yrs so it gets old trying to find friends.
I agreem had you given him sex, he prolly would have just let it go. But since you withheld, he got a case of the blue balls and us guys can't think with baby batter on the brains.
Is this the same gay guy from months back?
If sense were common, everyone would have it.

He got upset because your lifestyle interfered with his trying to get laid? And now YOU feel bad? And you're asking if YOU'RE the one being selfish?!?!? I'm gonna ask this next question in a brotherly sort of way, what are you, BLONDE???
He's the selfish one and you have absolutely nothing to feel bad about.
