How Can I Fix Awkward Conversation With My Personal Trainer?

by **Rodric** » Sun Feb 02, 2014 6:22 pm

I'm 42, he's 29, but we relate well. We have told each other some personal stuff, but nothing over the top. I have noticed restraint on his part - I will curse now and again when I can't get a weight up, and he never lets a bad word slip. So I kind of feel like we're friends, but with a slight border. But sometimes things are said/ done that leave me with inappropriate responses in my head, and then I can't think of anything right to say, leaving me looking like a speechless jackass. For instance, he once said to me "you're no good to either of us in bed"(meaning injury) - don't tell me he didn't leave himself wide open for a comeback - but I didn't. Then yesterday I was on the elliptical and he came out of the office to check on me. He started rubbing his arms so I asked him if he was cold; he said "yes," then said "I oughta climb up there with you." Am I blind and is he coming on to me, or is he just naive and leaving himself open without thinking?

Eh I dont know. I'm leanin more towards you reading too much into it at this point. Although, you can always just ask him. He's the one who HAS to be professional, he's being paid to be professional. You on the other hand can do anything you darn well please(within reason of course) :) If it bothers you that much just ask him. The worse he can say is no. Then you laugh it off and carry on. No big deal.
