leave me alone
So I'm at the gym, it's my quiet time. My me time, my LEAVE ME ALONE time. But this guy came up to me on the elliptical and asked to workout with me. I'm nice (in real life lol) so I said ummm sure. Now he's basically playing 20 questions.

Haha, I laughed out loud about the nice in real life comment. That's how I feel about myself on here.

I tried not to be like "don't talk to me I'm married" but my main grievance is I need me time lol.

Maybe he's okay with the fact you're married. Maybe he wants a brother husband ?

Earphones. You don't even have to be listening to music. Just wear them lol.

Maybe he's not trying to hit on you and is just trying to find a gym buddy! ? The horror! Just kidding lol. Really though, tell him you enjoyed his conversation but you need to focus while you work out. He'll probably understand.
Also I second the earphone comment. No one will bug you and if they do, ignore them like you can't hear them!

Rotf. I'm not a nice person in the gym. Because it's my me time, too. I will keep my headphones in the whole time and even though I can hear everyone, I act like I can't and keep my RBF on and that's usually an effective deterrent.

Lol! You're too nice. I once forgot to.charge my ipod, but wore my ear buds for 2 hours anyway while I worked out, just so no one else would talk to me!

My RBF is an effective protection.
For the guys who still don't get it that I'm not interested in engaging in a conversation with them, I look them straight into the eyes in silence with a pokerface facial expression while I slowly count to two, then I answer.
Funny enough they find that intimidating.

I always wear ear buds when I'm out by myself. I used to wear them at the bus stop but I live in las Vegas and people would tap my shoulder ask for time and tell me their life story. ?
Me: Its 3:34
Them: one time when I was younger.....
Lol.

Ear buds don't work! I can't even begin to count the amount of times I've had mine in and people tap my shoulder or wave their stupid hand in my face.
Like pp, I have an excellent RBF and my death stare is on point ?
Short, sharp answers with a 'go away' expression usually does the job!

Just say "don't talk to me"
Works for me lol

Man he violated the ear phones? That's when you flip him off and keep going lol. It's. A universal sign for "no I don't want to talk to your nosey butt".
