Took 14 months to admit my gym buddy and I had nothing else in common

Met this guy at the squat rack in Denver, we spotted each other for months, talked about protein shakes and form checks. Figured we were friends, so I invited him to a BBQ at my place last June. He showed up, stood in the corner on his phone for 20 minutes, then left without saying bye. Turns out we only had lifting in common, and I wasted a whole year thinking otherwise. Anyone else realize a friendship was purely situational and had to start over from scratch?

Drove two hours to a fantasy football draft party for a dude I only knew from hitting the same Tuesday night pickup games. Watched him eat a hot dog with a fork and knife and realized I'd basically been hanging out with a stranger the whole time.
