This is why I'm Single

When I started working out at the gym last week there was a very attractive girl who was using one of the benches near mine. I'd seen her before, periodically, throughout the year, but never consistently, and never very close. But every time I have seen her, something about her makes me think that I have seen her somewhere before. Anyway, so I started working out; lifting heavy weights and admiring my bulging cords of muscle in the mirror, because that's what we do at the gym, yes? However, at one point I looked over at this girl (because that's also what we do, yes?) and discovered that I wasn't the only one who was admiring my newly acquired physique. But did I talk to the girl? No. Because I have a very hard time talking/flirting/breaking the ice with girls that I find attractive. I kept working out and eventually she left. She was there the next day as well, and once again we worked out near each other for a few minutes, discreetly admiring each other (at least that's what I hope was going on, otherwise it was probably just me ogling her). Did I talk to her this time? No. But some other jerk with muscles did, apparently they knew each other already. Anyway, since we were right near each other I heard some of their conversation and she talked about being in Florida for a recent competition. Once again she left. I haven't seen her since.

However, today I was reading the news and I discovered that the Cougarettes were just in Florida for their national dance competition (and they won, boo-yah! Congrats to them.) Now I realize why this girl looked familiar to me. She is my favorite Cougarette of all! The one whom I most enjoyed watching at basketball and football games for the last two years. I'd never seen her up close before which is why I didn't recognize her right away. So here I am, having blown two chances to talk to a girl that I've always wished to meet/date. Dumb, dumb, dumb!

But she WAS checking me out. Yeah, one of the most sought after girls on BYU campus was giving ME the roving eye! (Which I guess I should be used to by now because I'm pretty sought after myself!:)

(I will add a disclaimer that I'm not 100% positive that it's the same girl, but the odds are pretty good, like 95%)
