Okay so to start, I'm a pansy.

I've finally grew past the social awkwardness of starting to hit the gym alone. It took me quite a while to walk through those doors solo and just do it... But I am wanting to build muscle and strength. I'm a single mom (newly divorced from 17 yr high school sweetheart and despartely needing to exhaust my energy) and my goal is to stay fit, healthy, active, for my little boy.

I get nervous at the gym and i don't know why...

Im already in shape (approx. 125 lbs and 5'8") with a stong focus on healthy eating and an active lifestyle. But I walk into the gym and only feel comfortable sticking the the equipment. I feel more confident but still don't know wtf I'm doing. Just keep telling myself fake it until you make it. But I dont want to fake myself.

I want to build lower muscle and lower strength. I feel like the weights and lifting is my next step but I'm intimidated.

Anyone willing to join me at LA fitness and break me in? And/or recommendations on personal trainers in the area?

About how long into a romantic relationship did it take for you to love your partner (if that's the case for you). 3 months, 8 months, 2 years? Obviously everyone is different in that regard...

Do you verbalize it first? Wait for your partner to be vulnerable and say it first?

What does your love look like? Protective, possessive, but give specifics of other actions you do to express it.

And please don't say "if they do, you'll know" as I am very well aware. Im just curious of the different ways you choose to communicate it.

I suppose I could slightly understand the incompatibility of Geminis and Scorpios based on me knowing numerous of each sign, both male and female. But why do I see so much hate for Scorpios? I vibe really well with Scorpio and all water signs most likely due to my other placements. I've also read where they tend to get possessive, obsessive and stalk. I need examples of this 😅 whats your experience?

Anyone know of a verified reliable personal trainer local to the area? I've started hitting the gym to get stronger but feel like I'm not doing the right things to hit my goals. I currently go to LA Fitness locations and I know they offer those services but I would rather have a non affiliated trainer who is completely focused on my strength and wellness.

I see plenty of "compatibility" posts but lets see the current pull in honor of Gem season 🫶

I'll start first. 🦂🖤

Someone help me figure this out...

I've been with my amazing Scorpio man coming up on seven months. He is the epitome of the classic Scorpio, I mean textbook. Anyways he is incredibly intuitive. Like on a whole different level.

I was thinking about him just now and how I miss him in that moment. And he started calling me right then. No biggy right? Well he normally wouldn't call at this time since I'm at work so I answered and he starts with, "So I have a question. Were you just thinking about me"? I paused a second and told him that I was and he proceeded to tell me how he could feel it and that he's felt it on several occasions but that he always let it go but this time he wanted to validate it. I'm not shocked honestly. I know who he is and his depth. I won't get into all that but what I want to know is if other Scorpios do this (which I'm sure is the case 😅) but what does that connection of energy mean to you? How do you read or interpret that? Theres been other times that I can feel our energies exchange but I'll keep it specific to my original topic.

Someone help me out here... give me some insight.
