Preface: Been going to the Gym daily for about a year, about 2 months ago I hired a personal trainer for private classes 3 times a week for a month. Usually had my sessions at lunch and would get my cardio in early in the morning so that I got the most out of my classes instead of her waiting on me to warm up.
When I signed up for a trainer the only thing that was available were women trainers, so thats what I got.
Fast forward to the last 2 weeks: my sessions are now finished w/ my trainer, so I work out on my own before coming into work.
My boss also works out in the morning as the gym is literally a few doors down from the office. I usually talk to him about what was on TV the night before and whats happening at work that day. Conversations end w/ "I'll see you later".
Last week: was at E3 and was not able to go to my regular gym since I was 400 miles away.
Yesterday: Back at my regular gym.
On the way in the girl at the counter stops me and says I have a card there behind the counter. I take the card w/ me figuring its a thank you note from my trainer. I open it while I'm working out and its $25 gift certificate to the gym. Once again I think its from trainer and figure its to be applied to another session w/ her or one of the group classes.
Today at work: Walking through the hallway when one of the girls from HR said I had a delivery up front. I assume its from my wife and walk up to HR. I get handed a basket of flowers from a local nursery. Attached is a small card:
"From a Secret Admirer"
Wrapped up in a bow is another note, actually more of a letter as it contained 4 paragraphs:
Basically the jist of it was:
Paragraph 1: I see you have been working out and wanted to let you know how well you've come along. -(that also made me think it was my trainer)
Paragraph 2: I hope you got the gift certificate that I sent last week. I didnt really see you but assume it made it into your hands. -(still could be my trainer)
Paragraph 3: I noticed that you have a female trainer, guys that are attracted to other guys may be intimidated being trained by someone they might have feelings for. I'm hoping that this is the case.-(OMGWTFBBQ)
Paragraph 4: I see you w/ another guy in the mornings and hope that relationship isnt serious. I really hope you enjoy the flowers I sent; I didn't know your last name but I did know your first and where you worked thats how i sent them today-(not hard to figure out where I work since I wear a badge and sometimes walk to the office.)
See you around!
Signed,
Your Secret Admirer

Its a DUDE!!!
So far I've just had to laugh at it, kinda creepy since this GUY is sending me gifts and knows where I work. Coworkers think I should be flattered, but I'm pretty sickened by it. My boss is pissed to since it referenced him in the letter. He thought it was funny as hell until he got mentioned.
My steps to stop whatever this guy thinks he's going to start:
1. No more showering at the gym.
2. The wedding ring is going back on, took it off when I broke my finger as it was buddy taped to another.
3. Not talking to my boss in the morning.
4. Maybe buying a "I like chicks not dicks" shirt.
5. changing my work out times, this will be interesting since he apparently is there early in the mornings and during the lunch hours. I could go after work but prefer and early workout.
and???
Cliff notes
1. I work out at the gym daily.
2. Had a personal trainer.
3. Sessions ended and I got a gift certificate to the gym.
4. Today got flowers and a letter.
5. Gift certificate and flowers are from a DUDE at the gym (wtfbbqbarf)
UPDATE 6/2/05:
Dropped off the letter last week.
Yesterday: Got another package at work delivered by some kid who ran in the front door of HR and dropped it on the counter and ran out.
To: Jeff H.
Brown padded envelope: Contents Another Letter and a TyDied shirt.
Letters not with me at the moment so I'll cliff note it:
Really want to know if there can be something bewteeen us. I'm guessing your a Sagitarrius and if so I'm a Leo that means we could have a really exciting relationship
You are looking really good and I like your smile. Cant decide if I like you w/ the goatee or without, either way your HOT.
If your interested please wear the shirt this coming monday and I'll introduce myself. I'll be out of town al weekend but will be thinking of you the whole time.
So the guy knows when my birthday is, someone has to be feeding him info as thats too good of a guess.
He either paid some local kid to run in and drop off the package or he's using his kid which I think is fu#$ed up.
I'm not wearing the shirt but will carry it around with me Monday so I can tell this guy face to face that I'm not interested. Apparently the letter either ddn't get to him or he can't take a hint.
