Gem thing?

Tonight a Gem friend and I were talking.
He wants to get back into shape and we talked about being Gym buddies.

Because I'm sick (problem with my blood, it's chronic and he knows all about it) sometimes I end up very tired but with a little kick in the butt, I can achieve things.

I told him about it and asked him if he would drag my butt to the gym anyway when there's night I'm tired and he said No.
When I asked him why, he said that it's because it's not who he is.

Is this a Gem thing to not want to help friends in that way?

Trust me he says no .....BUT he will be your gym buddy at the end, he wont be pushy.

Because we sidestep situations in which we become obligated. We know we are too changeable to always be dependable.

At least, that's me.
