Straight and born in Canada. Seeing if there are any cool and easy going people out there with common interests. Into health and fitness. I do alot of casual biking and walking. Watching sports like World Cup this summer, Football and combat sports.

If anyone is single and looking to get out and be more social let me know. Ive always found i did better meeting people in person compared to apps. Im sure there are alot of events to get out for this summer and meet new people.

Please no flakey people who just want to msg online and then never talk or meet. Thanks.

I go to an apartment gym. I recently made friends with someone who likes talking to people there. The problem is that now he is introducing me to people that Im not even talking to, but he is. It feels quite forced and awkward. Where I've been introduced to 4 different people who I have never had any conversation with and likely won't.

For context, I go to the gym to work on fitness goals and have stress relief. I do timed rest in between sets. I dont have time to have 5-10 minute convos with people. I work hard at the gym. Meanwhile I've seen this guy talking and carrying conversation while in the middle of doing sets. His workout intensity is much lower and he lifts half the weight I do. I think he is much less serious about fitness than me.

Has anyone dealt with a friend like this? I dont mind introductions if im meeting new people in a social setting like a hang out or party. But in these cases im at the gym where there was no conversation going on with me and these other people. Also, I now have to see these people at the gym regularly and it will mainly be me avoiding them as I focus on working out.
