14 Confessions Of Dating A Female Fitness Fanatic

Dating definitely has its complications, that’s for sure. With trying to impress that new special someone, it can leave you feeling flustered and acting a little less like yourself, especially on the first couple of dates. Fancy hair, nice clothes, and makeup can all seem chaotic, especially for the fitness fanatic, when all you’ve ever known is leggings and a pony tail. The prettiest hairstyle you’ve ever done was a french braid and you love to dress in comfortable clothes that can breathe, you wonder where you last saw your “fancy” nude bra, and if it’s acceptable to hit up the gym before your date.

Fortunately for your future suitors I have come up with some basic confessions of what it’s like to date a girl who is a female fitness freak! Watch out boys, these may just surprise you.

I’m Really Energetic

Working out makes me full of life and gives me that daily boost of energy you’d usually see when I drink coffee. If I miss a workout? Well, let’s just say you won’t like me when I’m angry.

I Probably Haven’t Showered Yet Today

Yes that’s right, I save showering till after my workouts and if I don’t get to go to the gym till later in the afternoon, well, I apologize in advance.

I Use Far Too Much Dry Shampoo

Honestly, I have 10 bottles on the go as we speak. Is it acceptable to use it for 3 straight days? Maybe not, but I do it all the time.

I Sometimes Use My Perfume As Body Wash

Perfume smells nice, and after a workout, I don’t. We don’t always have time to fit in a shower on a busy schedule! Duh! So on goes the perfume and then we smell like a fresh meadow, or at least, fresher than we smelled before.

My Go To Outfit Always Includes A Sports Bra

These are my staples. I own more gym leggings than pants, and more sports bras than real bras. Get used to it.

I Always Wear A Hair Elastic As A Bracelet

Seriously, I always need a back up! What if my hair gets in my face?

I’m Flexible

There are certainly many benefits of dating a fit girl, and flexibility is definitely one of them. (I stretch daily just so you know.)

Lol, What Spare Time?

If I have any spare time you can bet it’s going to be at the gym! If I go missing, safe place to look first.

Protein Is A Huge Deal

Word to the wise, protein is life. When I find a delicious protein powder or bar that actually tastes like the flavor is advertising, you can bet I’m going to talk about it… a lot.

I Am Focusing On Bettering Myself

I workout for me, myself, and I. My goals and my commitments are my everything because I am focusing on bettering my body, my mind, and crushing all of my personal goals. Not for you to show off how hot I am to your friends.

My Fitness Is My Priority

I care a lot about my health and what foods I put into my body. I’m an athlete. So I’m sorry in advance if it bothers you I don’t eat too many carbs, and I can’t split your dessert with you every date.

My PMS Cravings Are Off The Charts

Hell hath no fury like a woman who is on her time of month and in dire need of chocolate… or so you thought. Try dealing with a girl who hasn’t had sweets in almost a month! Not pretty.

I Can Open My Own Jars, Thank You

It’s true, I weight lift so I am able to open my own jars without you asking if I need help. Thank you though! Feel free to ask me if I can help you.

I Want a Man Who Accepts Me, For Me

Believe it or not I’m just like every other girl! I want you to be accepting of who I am and not try to change me. I want you to be respectable of my passions, and be kind and loving to my family and friends. Treat me right, and I’ll treat you right, plain and simple.

Between cravings, my comfy attire, and my lack of makeup, I love being me. I won’t change for you or for anyone, so make sure you can handle all of my craziness before things get too serious. Dating a female fitness fanatic has its perks like all relationships, but can definitely be a fun ride, if you can keep up with me!
