So this would be like a dream come true for me YES! No matter what happens, a yoga class is not defining my relationship. I mean, we're both multilayered beings with lives both inside and outside the studio. It is an experience that binds two people together on an entirely different level, giving a deep sense of trust and confidence because yoga is a very personal workout. Take part in a joint activity to break the ice on a date. There is a lot more to being able to engage in a conversation rather than staring at each other awkwardly over dinner. Yoga poses are vulnerable as you elevate off the ground and do the lifting. It is our future communication and exchanges, which can only build our relationship, if we share these moments. It's great to get to laugh and be silly together in a new relationship so early on! Dating should be enjoyable, not overly serious. Plus, I bet he looks really good in gym shorts.

Early dating is for connecting and bonding, not sure how that would be accomplished at the gym. .... From the guy side I do find it a way to connect, as much as doing any activity. As to bonding...spotting someone, getting all sweaty together, seeing them in their workout clothes (kind of like getting a preview of coming attractions...and less revealing than the beach)..so they are real and not all curated in their appearance; to me that helps bonding, as well as the conversation between sets, conversations that go to work-out, what you like to do, probably injuries/things you are careful with, odd gym expereince stories, talk about what doing after, etc., etc. If your in decent shape the gym is all a good thing and as he is there with her, good reason not to go crazy on the work out. I guess I like working out and would do it anyway, so that is a positive date for me as no matter what happens I get a workout. As in going to a brewpub, something would do anyway...add the two together, heck yah! 1
Author Alpacalia Posted May 4, 2022 Author Posted May 4, 2022 Many appreciations. It is totally understandable to me that for some people, yoga is not interpreted as a romantic activity. Particularly if the individual has never engaged in yoga before. Definitely was supposed to be a prelude to coming attractions like mentioned above. We'll taste craft beer afterwards. It is secluded tour that is offered along this one scenic trail where we can go off and do our own thing for a few hours, pairing a few drinks and food together at night. One of the beers mentioned is "Magic Rock Salty Kiss" which along with soft illumination coming from the outdoor lighting, the trail is also a great place to take in the gorgeous view of the mountains on either side. As of now, it's not likely we'll be able to do yoga despite his desire to, because I know his hamstrings have been tight, but, with any luck, there will be time for it in the future. So, no three-legged dog for now. I do have one question - we had a really good fourth date, and he asked me for another. There was the suggestion of a couples' date with his friend and his girlfriend. That's good, maybe? How about me? Am I supposed to bring a friend now? Friends and family are people I've met over time, but they're typically after a period of several months dating.

It's not some huge committed event, it's just meeting some of his friends. Why bring a fifth wheel? You don't have to counter or alter every suggestion he makes. Relax and go with the flow. It's seems to be going quite well. 1

Interested in meeting my friends/family, he has started asking about them. I agree with you. Countering is unnecessary.
