A guy asked me out and asked if I wanted to get coffee or lunch or go on a run. Thoughts on this?

Looks like there are a lot of slow male runners on this forum who got previously got rejected for dates

i've read some of the posts here, but my take is, go for a run, if he can't keep up, drop him.

he'll either be humiliated or aroused. your call on how you play it from there.

No PNSO here :)

Hahahahaha..Well done, Nikeman and TRG!

I can see you were bored enough to read most of this thread!

Is the OP male or female? Don't feel like sifting thru 100+ posts.

Someone do my homework for me, please :-)

The OP is a half man / half woman.

Who f*****g cares so much about seeing what type of shape someone is in on a first date, like that is the end all be all for determining whether you want to be with them. If it is, you are a sad, sad, sad woman who deserves to be single. Plenty of people look in shape and are not athletic at all. Some people with a small gut on them are in damn good shape, running wise. Get over it.

RvaRunner are you single or married?

It's a good thing you guys are't tightrope walkers. That would be a difficult date.

Gay guys just get it on. Why the pretense? If you hot it off, why do you want to be all sweaty and tired? Invite him over to your house for coffee, then bang away.

I wonder if I should ask if he plays any sports

How old are you? Twelve? My god over 145 responses to a stupid post to begin with and now you keep asking stupid questions of people who never date to begin with (or else they wouldn't be wasting their time on here answering and making suggestions to your dopey questions and concerns).

I am betting this is nothing but a troll by jamin, for sure.

When I saw this hit 8 pages I was hoping she'd reported back from the date. But nope. Still having the same conversation as on page 1.

Been married for many, many years now.

We aren't going on the date for another week...

Date report?

Since we've already established my poor social skills...

So this guy and I started chatting a little over a week ago. We agreed on a hike, and I suggested the place.

Anyway since I was on a business trip last weekend, we continued to chat/talk and then he asked me when I was coming back. I got back this week and let him know. He replied that he hoped I enjoyed the trip and had a good flight back.

Now... we've made talk, but we haven't discussed meeting up and hiking since last week when this conversation started. Trying to think how to broach it. Maybe thank him, and then ask if he's free this weekend and wants to go for a hike?

Did this go through? I don't see the thread on page 1.

No way you are a real person. Why do you have to think about how to ask??? Just ask.

Because I am a socially awkward runner who overanalyzes everything...

Just ask if he is still up for hiking. It's not too complicated. And the sooner you ask, the sooner you'll get a response, and the sooner you can stop worrying about the situation.

This is genius, I was trying to think "should I thank him and then ask him if he's free this weekend... or free next week." But it seems much more natural to thank him and ask if he's still up for a hike now that I'm back.

Asking for advice on letsrun isn't so bad...
