jinx! i said the same thing

thursday

part 3 👟

during dinner i told him i missed my gym routine back home and this man goes: ‘i actually have a workout booked in a few days. you can join if you want. my PT can train both of us.’ and i said: ‘i don’t need a PT. i am a PT.’ the silence after that was LOUD. this man smirks at me like he just unlocked a side quest. so naturally i go: ‘watch me.’ CUT TO: the morning of the workout. i wake up with the most disrespectful fever of my life. acclimatization was beating my ass so badly i genuinely thought my body was trying to return to sender. i’m laying there sweating like a medieval plague victim thinking: well. this is humbling. but then i made a deal with myself: if the shower fixes me, i go. and somehow that shower had the healing powers of the lord himself because next thing i know i’m biking to the gym delirious but committed to the bit. we meet his PT in the foyer and immediately i realize this man’s accent is on expert mode. i’m standing there like: haha yes 😀 absolutely 😀 meanwhile my brain: ⚠️ no subtitles available ⚠️ i tell him i wanna do my own workout but i’d love technique tips. this man watches me warm up for TWO business seconds before going: ‘ohhhh she knows what she’s doing.’ and i’m internally like: CLOCK ITTTTT suddenly he starts handing me heavier weights because apparently my form is ‘too perfect’ for the lighter ones. mind you i’m fighting a fever, dehydration, possible spiritual warfare, and now i also have to look hot and athletic??? at one point i genuinely convinced myself i looked like one of those warrior women in movies. like yes. daughter of zeus. protector of gains. THEN. THE TREADMILL INCIDENT. these men decide it would be fun to teach me how to stop a treadmill by jumping onto the sides while sprinting full speed. why did i almost meet God. one wrong move and my teeth would’ve landed in another country. but somehow i survived and unfortunately… it was actually fun. like genuinely had a blast that i fell in love with running afterwards and now i run every other day. the endurance?? life changing the whole workout was just us laughing, joking around, hyping each other up and at one point i literally caught myself thinking: oh my god. who knew dating could actually be this fun???

at the beachhh ⛱️

all my boyfriends decided to meet up during my lunch break and give me some food for thought #jinx_watches

ahhh so cute!

how a fresh haircut got me feeling like ✨✨

since y’all loved that story sm i’m bringing you part 2

after that he invited me to dinner the next day. and i was mentally preparing myself for the classic ‘idk find a place?’ situation but no. this man sent me a whole curated list of cute restaurants around the city. all i had to do was pick one. princess treatment fr. so we end up at this dimly lit fancy restaurant on like the 65th floor of a skyscraper. the waitress asks if we have any allergies and we both say no, but then i remember my stomach has personal beef with bell peppers. not an allergy, my gut just sees bell pepper and declares war. the waitress had already walked away though, and i’m sitting there debating if i should even mention it. so i tell him like ‘it’s not serious i just can’t digest bell peppers,’ and immediately this man goes: ‘do you want me to tell them just in case?’ and i was weirdly hesitant about it but he was already standing up like ‘yeah no i’m gonna go tell them because we’re not risking it.’ and he just handled it. no making me feel dramatic, no ‘you’ll be fine,’ nothing. just quietly took care of it. green flag behavior so aggressive we love. food comes. i ordered this baby spinach shrimp salad and enough sushi to feed a small village. he got steak. we’re talking about our families, friends, random pet peeves, having a great time. and then. i notice something suspicious in my salad. mind you this restaurant is SO dark i can barely identify my own hand. but i look closer and realize that the entire time… i had been eating tiny chopped bell peppers. girl. wtf 😭😭😭😭 i immediately tell him and now both of us are leaning over the plate like scientists trying to identify the crime scene because at first we genuinely couldn’t tell what it was. then the waitress comes back and we politely ask if there’s bell pepper in the salad. you know. the thing we SPECIFICALLY asked not to add. girl she went SILENT. immediate apology. took the plate away. promised to replace it. and meanwhile this man slowly turns to me and goes, word for word: ‘do you want me to go full karen mode with them? because i can.’ ????????????????? i was in AWE. like sir thank you for your service but i already consumed the evidence unfortunately 😭 there is no undo button here. so i was like no no it’s okay let’s not ruin the vibe. the rest of dinner actually went perfectly smooth after that. and when it was time for me to go home he goes: ‘do you want me to get a car for you or a bike?’ because he KNEW i’m obsessed with bikes even though riding them in thailand is basically a near death experience with a breeze. and with the biggest grin on my face i go: ‘a biiiiikeeee 🤭’ this man looks at me dead serious and goes: ‘i beg you please wear a helmet. the germs on it are better than brain damage.’ HELPPPPPP 😭😭😭 i barely even heard the end of the sentence because at that point i was already on the bike with the wind blowing through my hair feeling like like i was in a coming-of-age movie directed by the universe itself.

god i live for this routine

okay to make this world a better place i’ll share my story that might give you a lil hope that there’re kind and funny men out there. after this i could def say that there’re PLENTY of fish in the sea. so boom. we went to this safari park that was literally an hour away from the city, meaning we had to uber there and back. by the end of it we were DONEEEE. heat exhaustion. walked for 3 hours. starving because i refused to trust the outdoor food market situation 😔 and because life loves setting women up, i was mentally preparing for the awkward uber ride home where both people stare out opposite windows pretending to check notifications that don’t exist. but apparently this man had other plans and chose entertainment. he finds out i’m an english teacher and suddenly starts doing accents like he’s in the middle of a netflix audition 😭 first new york. then texas. then california. then some unhinged ‘florida man’ voice. then a british accent so dramatic i almost saw the queen herself. and the worst part??? HE WAS FUNNY. like i was laughing in that ugly exhausted way where you can’t even breathe properly anymore. so naturally i thought: ‘okay he peaked. surely this is the end’ then this man pauses dramatically and goes: ‘nah wait. put on a random beat on youtube’ GIRL MY SOUL LEFT MY BODY. because immediately i thought: ‘dear god… not another wanna-be musician’ so now i’m silently praying this isn’t about to give me the biggest ick of my life 😭 i play the beat. AND WHY WAS THIS MAN ACTUALLY GOOD??? when i tell you this man freestyled an entire song about our safari trip ON THE SPOT??? with punchlines??? flow??? confidence??? EYE CONTACT??? i literally sat there like 🧍🏼‍♀️ (i was actually trying not to look too impressed because men can smell admiration) so eventually i told him: ‘be serious. there’s no way you’re not doing it for a living; if you’re not, go talk to some labels or smth’ and this man goes: ‘nah i just freestyle instead of journaling to clear my head’ SIR????????? emotionally self-aware. funny. creative. and humble. …girls. when i say i almost folded into a lawn chair

the most fun dates happen when you take the initiative
