From the Dear Prudence column:

Q. Gym Romance: I'm a fit, attractive 30-something single woman who enjoys working out at my local gym. A few weeks ago I noticed a cute guy seemed to have a similar schedule as mine. We also seemed to have a similar workout routine—bike, weights, swim etc. I've tried smiling at him once or twice, to see if there was any interest, but neither of us has made the first move. Then yesterday, I returned to my stationary bike as I had forgotten to wipe it down, and I noticed that he was standing next to it, rubbing the damp seat with an odd look on his face. He then pretended to have dropped something, but I saw that he was actually sniffing the seat, before returning to the locker room. I don't think he realized that he had been spotted. How do I proceed? He is very attractive, and I guess he is into me as well. Do I say something about what I saw, or should I continue flirting with him knowing what I know?

    No kidding! I mean, I don't care how good-looking a guy is, if he's sniffing a seat I was just sitting on, that's a deal-breaker.

    That's kind of nasty, but if that's the only thing wrong with him, is it a deal breaker? Though it sucks that's one of the first things you found out.

    Hey, I'm realistic.

    LOL Love it :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:



    I almost spat my afternoon tea out



    Now you can go one of 2 ways with this

    1) Ignore him from now on and live never really knowing what he did

    or

    2) Try and get to know him a bit before to tarnish him with the nutter brush and try get a date with him at least when on a date you can ask him in a humorous way with out him being offended.




    and anyway us Men do some strange things at time like you women do.

    Yes. That would be a deal-breaker for me. If it's not for you, then that's good news for him, that there are women who will overlook something like that. I'm just not one of them.

    He was just smelling your pheromones. According to the Discovery channel, this is totally normal for an adult male.

    And, c'mon, let he who hasn't sniffed a seat cast the first stone.
