Kai Greene was not an impatient lover

Kai Greene is one of those shy lovers, who couldn’t approach the girl swiftly. According to Dayana, Greene waited almost nine years before he could say something to her. Dayana said, “Well, Kai has been in love with me since 1998 when he saw me onstage at the Jan Tana Classic bodybuilding contest. I didn’t even know how he felt about me, but he was too shy to talk to me – he waited until he turned pro and won his first pro show (The Colorado Show) last year (2007).”
