I (25M) have been seeing this girl at my gym for about a week. I’m fairly built and put in a lot of work on my physique, and I noticed her looking at me quite a bit, so there was mutual eye contact and felt like a clear green light.
I finally approached her when she was training alone. The conversation was actually great—I kept it low-pressure, asked where she worked, and eventually asked for a professional referral. She told me to add her on LinkedIn. I then took a bit of a leap and asked for her Instagram as well. During the talk, we realized she was actually my senior from college, and we really hit it off. She seemed genuinely interested and engaged the whole time.
I sent the requests on both platforms shortly after, but it’s been 2 days and she hasn’t accepted either. I’m a bit confused because the vibe in person was so positive.
Did I mess up by mixing the professional (LinkedIn) with the social (Insta)? Or is she just overthinking the "senior/junior" dynamic? Also, how should I handle seeing her at the gym next? I don't want to make it awkward.
