Would you date a girl who wears a running skirt?

I met this girl and it turns out she runs with a running skirt. She's already out of my league and knowing this information makes it even more difficult to call her. If I were to see her wearing it, I'd be permanently scarred. I'm utterly terrified every time I go for a run that I will bump into her.

What if we date, which is unlikely considering I'm 5'8" and anemic looking, and she wants to run together? Every time I go to phone her, I worry that we'll date and then someone from my team will see us running together.

Do I try to date her despite the running skirt?

Same as the fuel belt girl: Don't do it, man.

Not if her skirt matches yours. That's a fashion faux pas.

re: nice hair

To be clear, I wouldn't date someone running:

- with a skirt

- with a fuel belt

- with an iPod (at a race, training is ok)

- with a Nike pedometer thing

Also a big no:

- People chatting during runs

- People talking during races

- People affiliated with (most) charity running groups (you know who you are)

- People who use pacers at races (hate those!)

- People who don't go for a drink after workouts

- People obsessed with their "nutrition needs" and gulp Gatorade and chunks of peanut butter within 180 seconds of the end of their runs

- People who have excuses for their race results

- People who lie about their training pace (especially the ones who underestimate them to surprise you, ah)

- People who take their running seriously

- People who are not fun

Amazingly, I have plenty of dates! (I avoid runners, mostly.)

Yes, particularly if she wears the skirt "commando".

Second Drew's nomination. It ain't what the girl is wearing laddies, it's what's holding the clothing up that's important.

I met a true badass marathon trail runner who wore a running skirt. The woman is the real deal. I found a whole new appreciation for her and the skirt.

Sapositories? They got maple syrup in them?

I admit I don't get out as much as I used to, but I have yet to even see anyone in a running skirt.

Your pet peeves are crazy. What is wrong with talking during a run, taking running seriously, or not wanting to go for a drink after every workout?

re: nice hair

Buy a kilt and then you will match!

He seem more interested in his own hair. The hair must match or there is no hope for a relationship.

Sure, as long as she's not wearing anything underneath the skirt.

Nothing. You just misrepresented his original post on two out of three counts. He didn't say "talking during a RUN" he said "talking during races" or "chatting", which I'm sure we can all agree is a different matter, and he didn't say "a drink after EVERY workout"; I highly doubt that he goes for a drink after every workout or would like to do so.

Oh...misrepresenting other people is a pet peeve of mine.
