summary: that one time when you got cocky in gym class and ended up hurting yourself

inspired by true events.

So it had been a pretty good day in gym class.

Your teacher had given your class a wrestling activity, where you had to, well you know, wrestle and link legs and whoever gets flipped first loses.

Class was coming to an end and so far you were the undefeated champ. You were feeling pretty good about yourself and maybe a little bit cocky too. You should’ve stopped, you should’ve just gone to shower and change. You know, take the wins and retreat proudly. Go on with your day and so on... but since you’re a competitive little bitch, you didn’t stop. Not only that but you decided to challenge a guy from the class next door. He was pretty undefeated too but you just had a feeling you could take him on.

“Alright everyone, this will be the last match.” Your coach announced. “Jeon Jungkook versus Y/L/N Y/N.”

The students sitting around the mat cheered, your coach just sat back on his chair without much care and you prepared yourself for what you thought would be another easy win.

However, when the whistle blowed you found yourself putting a bit more effort than with your past opponents. The boy was fast and although he wasn’t using much force against you, you could tell that he just didn’t wanted to hurt you.

“Come on, Jungkook!” You heard someone say. “Stop taking it easy on her!”

You heard the boy just scoff and for some reason that bothered you. Was he really taking it easy on you? It didn’t matter, you knew that it was only a matter of time till you flipped him over and pinned him.

Minutes passed and things were getting more intense. No matter what one of you did, the other one knew exactly what to do to counter it. Neither of you wanted to give in and the excitement that you could feel coming from the spectators only hyped you up more.

“Just give in.” You suddenly heard Jungkook whispering to you. “This is going nowhere and one of us is going to end up hurt.”

“Uhh, I don’t think so!” With that you managed to find a bit of strength to turn the tables and flip Jungkook on his back. You heard gasping and cheering and you just knew you were about to take him down. However, just when you were about to pin him, you lost your footing and ended up falling head first into the mat. You landed in such a weird position that you ended up hurting your back. It was so bad that you needed to get help to be able to just stand.

Everything after that happened so fast. They took you to the school’s trainer, you continued to assist classes with the help of your friends and went home. By the time you arrived at your apartment, you were exhausted. Who knew that just a small pain could hold you back from so much? And that’s because you were getting help to move and to carry your stuff throughout the day. The good news were that at least you’ll be out of gym class for a whole week. Saves you the embarrassment of having to face Jungkook.

“Why?” You asked yourself as you buried your face into the pillow.

Knock. Knock.

You snapped your head up the moment you heard the sound but the jolt of pain running through your back reminded you that you were hurt.

“I heard what happened.” Your roommate said as she sat at the edge of your bed and placing a hot pad on your back.

“Thanks.” You smiled at the warm feeling that was starting to alleviate your pain. “Really? How? Don’t tell me I’m the topic of conversation now throughout the whole school?”

She laughed. “Uh, no. Actually the boy you were wrestling came earlier looking for you.”

You snapped your head up again at that. Pain. “Ow! Um, what did you say? You’re joking, Hannah.”

“Dude, I’m not!” Hannah exclaimed as she pushed your head back down. “You would’ve seen him if you wouldn’t have taken longer to get here.”

“Well I’m sorry that hurting my back became an impediment for me to get here at my usual time.”

Hannah just rolled her eyes and stood to leave.

“Wait. What did he want?” You asked, turning your head to the side as an attempt to see your friend.

“I don’t know. He explained what happened and wanted to talk to you. I’m guessing he wanted to apologize. I told him he was more than welcomed to stay and wait for you but he insisted on leaving.” Hannah school her shoulders and turned to leave, closing the door behind her. Leaving you wondering what the boy in the other class could’ve wanted.

The week passed and your back was starting to feel so much better. You could carry your backpack now and it wasn’t taking you forever to get from class to class.

“Look dude, there she is!”

“Shut up, she’s going to hear you.”

“Oh, are you scared?”

“Shut up, Taehyung!”

You looked over your shoulder to see what all the commotion was. Your eyes widened to see that one of the noisy boy was Jungkook. The same Jungkook who you had wrestled almost a week ago and embarrassed yourself completely in front of him. You quickly turned to face forward and quickened your pace to get as far away as possible. He didn’t see you right?

“Hey!”

It was him. He was calling for you but you wanted nothing more than for the ground to open up and swallow you whole.

“Hey, Y/N wait please!” His hand managed to grab a hold of your arm, forcing you to stop. You took a deep breath before turning around and bracing for what was coming.

“Okay, go ahead and tease me.” You said, taking the boy completely by surprise.

“I’m sorry what?”

“Go ahead and make fun of me. I know that I shouldn’t have challenged you. I just thought that I could take you on since I was having a pretty good streak. You even told me I was going to get hurt but I didn’t listen.” You started rambling but before you could continue, Jungkook’s laugh interrupted you. “What’s so funny?”

“Ah, no. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to laugh.” He started saying, waving his hands side to side as if trying to make it more convincing that he really wasn’t. “I’m sorry if I startled you or made you uncomfortable but I wasn’t calling you so I could make fun of you. Nothing like that.”

You titled your head to the side confused. “Then, what is it?”

“Y/N, I wanted to ask you out on a date?”

“I’m sorry, come again?”

Jungkook huffed a laugh before speaking again. “Y/N, I know that this is kind of odd but the first time I ever saw you was almost a week ago in gym class. I thought that you were the most beautiful girl I had ever seen but then I saw you wrestle and I thought to myself that I’d be a dumbass if I didn’t ask you out. You’re athletic and you’re beautiful, I’m sure you also have an amazing personality. I know that we don’t know each other but just give me a chance and I promise you won’t regret it.”

You were speechless. All this time you thought he was just a muscle pig that was coming to brag about how you should’ve listened and that you should’ve given up when he gave you the chance. In reality, he was such a sweet and caring person. The fact that he actually wanted to take you out on a date was beyond you.

“Just one thing.” You finally managed to mutter after a few minutes of silence.

“Anything.”

“Promise me that if I ever lose my footing again, you’ll catch me. I don’t want to spend another week struggling to get to class and not being able to carry my backpack because of me being stupid.” You said, giving him an embarrassed smile.

“I promise.” He said while returning it. Gosh, he was so handsome and you couldn’t believe that you were barely noticing that now.

The two of you exchanged numbers and he offered to walk you to your next class and your next class after that.

Moral of the story: always be a competitive little bitch, Y/N. Good job, me!

I really used to suck when it came to talking to women. Like, I just couldn’t do it. If I wanted to talk to a girl I was interested in it would go something like this, Me: “Hi” Her: “Hello” Me: “Umm…how are you?” Her: “Good” Me: “Uhh...it’s nice outside today” Her: “Yeah” (glances back and forth, begins to turn her body away from me) Me: (awkward silence) Her: “Well, it was nice to meet you” Me: “Nice to meet you too” (sobs internally)Then I would just about be ready to bang my head on the concrete until I passed out because I was just so awkward. I can tell you from experience that it sucks to be that guy who can’t talk to women and I don’t want that to happen to you. I used to be really awkward when it came to dating and eventually, I had to accept that I needed to be better if I wanted to find love. Successfully talking to women doesn’t have to be reserved for those rare people who are born confident. I’ll show you how to talk and what to say so you don’t have to feel awkward again.Before the ConversationIf you have the proper mindset before you even begin talking to her, it will make everything much easier. It’s a lot like how sports teams will actually warm up before an important game. For example, a basketball team might practice passing to each other and shooting the ball to help them get “in the zone” before the actual game. Similarly, if you get yourself “in the zone” before you approach her then it will make everything much, MUCH easier.First, you want to be evaluating her just as much as she is evaluating you. This is still true even if you’ve never had a girlfriend before. If you’re desperate and you’ve been “lowering your standards” in order to try and attract ANY woman then you’ve already set yourself up for failure. Most women find that unattractive. The cruel irony is that you might think you’re increasing your options by “lowering your standards,” but in reality you’ve reduced them even further.Secondly, you want to talk to her without expecting anything or needing it to go anywhere. Instead, you want to talk the mindset of: I’m just going to go up to her, introduce myself, and have a little fun. Maybe she’ll give me her number or agree to go out with me and if she does, great! But if she doesn’t, that’s okay too! The important thing is to just have fun and enjoy being in the moment.Here’s a trick that I like to use in order to make myself more confident. I’ll walk up to a random stranger (man/woman/young/old, it doesn’t matter who), give them a genuine compliment, and then quickly walk away. Sounds simple, doesn’t it? It might even sound a bit weird or scary because...no one does that, right? Here’s the thing, though: You cannot possibly be shot down by the people that you approach. Since you are not asking for anything, you risk no social rejection. And you will long be on your merry way before it can ever become awkward.In addition, you probably made the day of everyone that you complimented. You're now the mysterious stranger who stepped out of the shadows and brightened someone’s day before disappearing into the night. Like Batman! Seriously!Alright Casanova, I know what you’re thinking. “What do I actually say to her?” Let’s get to the good stuff.Step 1: Beginning the ConversationThe first thing you want to do is create a natural opportunity for one-on-one conversation. Try to casually position yourself so that you end up next to the woman that you’re interested in. You can do this any number of ways and there’s no specific way that you need to do this. Here are a few examples you could try:[At a party or social gathering]If she’s talking to a group of other people, wait for her to break off from the group or for the conversation to begin to die down before you start talking to her. Alternatively, you can introduce yourself to the group and join in the conversation before talking to her one-on-one. People generally enjoy meeting other people at parties, so don’t worry that she won’t be interesting in talking to you.[At the gym]Make eye contact with her and smile while she is exercising on one of the machines. Hop on some of the other machines and then “coincidentally” finish up with your workout just as she finishes with hers.[At the dog park]Casually walk your dog so that it ends up next to her and her dog. Let you dog interact with hers before beginning the conversation. Women love men who have dogs! If you have a dog, use it to your advantage.[At the coffee shop]If she’s just ordered her coffee and is waiting for it to be made, stand next to her while waiting for your coffee as well. Or, if she’s already sitting at a table then approach her from the side and stand next to her as you talk to her.By doing this first, you’ll help make the conversation seem more smooth and natural. She’ll feel more comfortable because it doesn’t feel like you’re “on the prowl.”Once you’ve casually positioned yourself next to her, you can open the conversation by talking about something contextual. For example:[At a party] * “How do you know [host’s name]?” * “I’m having a great time! How about you?”[At the gym] * “I see you working out here a lot. Are you an athlete?” * “I’m going to feel this in the morning”[At the dog park] * “Your dog is so cute! What’s his name?” * “Look at that! My dog seems to like you.”[At the coffee shop] * “What are you reading/studying/listening to?” * [If she’s reading a textbook] “I’m glad I don’t have to know any of that!”Another way you can open the conversation is to simply introduce yourself and say “Hi, I’m Tomato91.” Or, you can give her a genuine compliment such as “I like your purse/shoes/jacket/hair. It looks really cute!” Women spend a lot of time choosing their outfit and making sure that they look good before going out, so she will definitely appreciate a genuine compliment. If you’re feeling bold, you can even try saying “Hi, I thought you were really cute and I wanted to meet you.” This takes guts but she’ll probably be floored if you said this.There are infinite ways you can begin the conversation with her. The most important part is to be authentic when talking to her. You should be the version of yourself that your friends and loved ones enjoy being around. How do you behave around the people you are comfortable with and what is it that they like about you?Step 2: During the ConversationAfter you break the ice by talking about something contextual, the next step is to build rapport by making the conversation more personal. As Dale Carnegie wrote in How to Win Friends & Influence People, becoming a good conversationalist involves talking in terms of the other person’s interests and listening to them when they talk about themselves. This shows you’re interested in her values, attitudes, experiences, and beliefs. You’re interested in who she is as a person. Try to find something that she would enjoy telling you about herself.Depending on the context, you might be able to figure out what she is interested in. For example, if you’re meeting her at a dog park and she’s walking her own dog there then you can bet that she’s a dog lover. Or, if you’re meeting her at an anime convention then she probably has a bunch of really nerdy interests. If she’s looking through a book at the coffee shop then she might enjoy reading fiction.Also, you can try just asking her outright. For example, you could just say “What do you like to do in your free time?” And then whatever her answer is, talk to her about that. One of my favorite conversational techniques is to ask “What is your favorite [movie/book/hobby/music/etc.]?” and then follow up with “What do you like about [her answer]?” If she suddenly changes the topic during the conversation, it’s probably to something that she’s interested in. Talk to her about that or ask her to tell you more!How’s it going, champ? If she starts asking personal questions about you then she is probably interested in learning more about you. She might ask you some of the same questions you’ve been asking her. “What’s your favorite [movie/book/hobby/music/etc.]? What do you like to do for fun? Etc.” Don’t just give one-word answers, but tell her more! Remember that if you’ve gotten this far then she’d like to know more about you. Don’t just say “I like [X]” but say “I like [X] because it reminds me of how…” Pay attention to her body language as you talk about yourself because it’s easy to assume that what you’re saying is really interesting. If she doesn’t seem to be interested then change the subject.A great way to build rapport is to talk about common interests. We like people who are like us. So, if she tells you that she likes doing [X] then you can tell her that you also like doing [X] and then tell her a story about where you did [X]. But make sure to be authentic. Don’t say that you enjoy doing [X] just to make her like you. Only say it if you actually enjoy doing it! Also, you want to remember that a conversation is a two-way street. Don’t start dominating the conversation by only talking about how you do [X] and not allowing her to get a word in. Pay attention to her body language…if she starts drifting off then you’re no longer becoming interesting. Ask her a different question or talk about something else.Step 3: Closing the ConversationAt this point, do you still find her interesting? Remember, you are evaluating her just as much as she is evaluating you. And holding this mindset will actually make you more attractive to women. Don’t just go after any woman because you’re desperate to be in a relationship.If you do find her interesting then you'll want to get her number so that you can see her again. If you have a specific time and event already in mind then you can ask her out to that. Otherwise, you can also just get her number and then call her later. You can say something like “Hey, I’ve had a really great time talking to you. Would you like to grab a cup of coffee sometime?”I had a lot of fun writing this and I hope that you enjoyed it.
