5 reasons you need to steer clear of dating your gym dude

So once upon a time, every second spent at the gym seemed longer than a reticulated python and running on the treadmill, lifting those weights seemed more difficult than nailing jelly to the wall. But one day, fate played its part and everything changed. The dude with those rippling muscles and abs of steel walks past you, and suddenly, treadmills and dumbbells become your best friends. All thanks to Mr. Bicep.

'An eye candy for some motivation is harmless', is what you tell yourself while falling head-over-heels for him. And then you get talking, and this talking culminates into flirting. What follows is the most alarming stage-you guys start dating.
Well, most would say this is cupid striking, but to me, this is just common sense leaving your body.

Yes, I totally understand that your search for Mr. Right is on in full-swing, but I hate to break it to you ladies--the gym is just not the right pond to find your catch. Here is why you should abstain from dating your gym dude.

1. Gym Dude=Gym Rat=Narcissism Overloaded
You do realize that dating a guy from the gym increases the likelihood of him being a gym rat. As healthy as it sounds, it means getting stuck in a love triangle between you, your guy and well-the dumbbells! You don't want the legs' days to be the only exciting dates in your relationship. Worse still? Picture this: You meet him for a date, looking your hottest best-just ready for the moment you have been waiting for. He sees you and goes like,' look at my gains'. Obviously, all you want to wait for is to get to the gym, this time, only grab the heaviest set of dumbbells you can possibly lay your hands on and hit the narcissist-right where it hurts the most.

2. 'D', in Your Case, Stands For Distraction (Pun Intended)
Don't get me wrong here, but aren't workouts supposed to be done to stay healthy, to de-stress, or simply to get in shape? Just the thought of his rippling muscles, glistening with sweat was enough to distract me while writing this. How then do you concentrate on your workout with the hot dude distracting you incessantly?  And all those suggestive looks you guys exchange? Ok, let us not even go there.

3. And 'P' Stands for, Well-Possessiveness (No Pun Intended)

This means you both have officially entered the 'eye-candy ogling forbidden' zone. This means, every time you catch him checking out a new babe or he catches you feasting your eyes on a new dude, it's World War III.

4. You Don't Want Your Man to Turn into Your Nanny
Every time you lift heavy weights, he offers help along with his unsolicited expert advice on the correct stance. And no, it doesn't feel like your macho prince charming helping a damsel in distress, it feels like exercising in the presence of a nanny keeping an eye on every move you make, every breath you take. (He's watching you).  

5. You Don't Want to Turn into a 'Universal Bhabi'
That's the thing about dating your gym dude-from a potential catch to other guys, you turn into their new found 'bhabi' or worse--'bhai ki bandi'. Why? Because you wholly and solely belong to their 'bhai'now. And to all the girls who have been crushing on your guy since forever, you are the epitome of being a slut.
