So this literally just happened, and I’m still in shock at my own stupidity. My workplace started this step challenge to see who can walk the most steps in a month. And I’m new at my job but I was considering the ways that I could contribute to this challenge. That being said, the guy I’ve been talking to (M25)is a runner, like real serious. Like averages a step total of like 18,000 a day serious…

Fast forward to today. I’m on my way home from work and I decide to call him to tell him all about it. I’m rambling on, saying how i’m probably the most fit person at my job and I’ll be responsible for the win. And then, in my excitement, I start talking about how it made me think of him and that I should just link up my step account to his steps. I told him i didn’t say anything to my coworkers about him because “I’m new and wasn’t looking to involve them in my personal life yet and beside what would i say? ‘Yeah, so this guy I’m in love with who runs all the time would be perfect for this’.”

I IMMEDIATELY realized what I had just said. Unfortunately he did too and started asking me what I meant by that and laughing trying to make me explain, I told him to calm down and eventually i got him to drop it but i know this one’s coming back for me

TL:DR I’m sitting here now wondering if there’s a way to recover from this ? And you might be asking, “OP, are you really in love with this guy?” And honestly, I’m not sure how to answer that right now and i would rather walk the 18,000 steps myself than have an analytical conversation about my feelings. But what I do know is that six years have passed, and I’ve never been happier than when he’s in my life and i don’t see that changing.
