TLDR: She gives me A LOT of green lights, but is nice with everyone and made a comment that got me confused.

Hey folks,

I need help to understand a situation with a girl at my gym. I’m 27M and she’s 35F (she’s Iranian, if that adds any cultural context).

She’s been giving me a lot of green lights, but two things happened that throw me off.

The signs that make me think she likes me:

• A LOT of physical contact: Whenever we talk, she completely invades my personal space. She stands so close that (sometimes) our bodies are literally pressed against each other. Anyone looking from the outside would 100% assume we are a couple.
• She constantly touches my arm, grabs me, etc. When she wants to show me something on her phone, she leans her whole body against my leg or torso.
• She laughs at EVERYTHING. I swear, I could say the dumbest thing and she will laugh.
• The other day she explicitly told me that I look really good physically
• She said multiple times that I’m very intelligent, and is amazed at my career.
• Whenever we lock eyes from across the room, she flashes me a huge smile.

The things that confuse me:

• When she first found out I’m 27, she went "Oh..." and looked genuinely surprised. It felt like a mini-disappointment or like she expected me to be older (closer to her age, probably). It definitely shifted the vibe for a second. After that, all the stuff above continued as usual.
• Today she complainedabout in front of me how "nobody knows how to take a girl out properly anymore" and "how bad the market is nowadays". She mentioned a guy invited her out for coffee, and she hated it because she wanted to go out for a proper dinner, not just a coffee. She didn't tell me that (she told a friend of hers), but I was clearly there listening to the conversation.
• She is generally a very nice, friendly, and charismatic person with everyone at the gym, although I don't see her getting physical or close like this with anyone else.

This is what I think:

If she actually liked me, would she be openly complaining about other guys and her dating life right in front of my face? Or is she subtly dropping a hint on how to invite her out?

I’m really attracted to her, but the things I mentioned have me overthinking. Is she waiting for me to make a move, or am I completely misreading a girl who is just super comfortable with me?

What do you think?

Thank you!

Hi all,

The street in which I live in is full of massive potholes. I'm talking about those dangerous ones, where you have to literally drive at 1-2mph to not damage your car (seriously), and it's not nice to be dealing with that every single day.

I've submitted a Street Pavement request through MyLA311 and they marked the case as CLOSED with comment "Asphalt repaired", but they did absolutely nothing.

Is there something that can be done to get the street fixed?

Thank you!
