me and this guy from the gym have been making eye contact for weeks, i know he notices me because we had some interactions and he never misses a chance to look at me
after i lift, i usually do cardio, nothing unusual here
i’ve never seen him do cardio, never
and 2 days ago it was just me in the cardio section, on a treadmill, and guess what, he came and did some cardio right beside me😱😛
that means i can shoot my shot, right?
help me here

i’ve been going to this gym for months now, i see this guy regularly, handsome, he always looks at me and i look back
we had some interactions, short and direct, about how many sets one of us had left, you know? the basic at the gym
we sometimes end up working out next to each other
one time he was with his friend and they were comparing their abs in the mirror, the second he pulled his shirt down he looked at me
im lowkey beginning having a gym crush, but i don’t know if i should approach, he seems nice
do you think he likes me?

i, almost 18F, never had a boyfriend
the last time i talked to a guy was almost 2 years ago and from then on, i decided i don’t want that feeling anymore, you know? the talking stage feeling, i hate it because im usually a jealous person and he told me we were not even together so why isn’t he allowed to talk to other girls?
and i stopped talking to him
i do get approached by guys, not many, not many at all, but i have the feeling im just ugly and im living in my head
at the gym a lot of guys are looking at me and making eye contact every time we see each other, i try to be focused on my workouts, but there’s always someone watching me, and damn me for looking back 🫣
almost all of my friends have bfs, or boys they talk to, but they tell me they talk to them just cus they’re bored
HOW DOES THAT WORK
talking to a guy just because you’re bored? so you’re telling me you don’t even see a future relationship with them? wth 🤦‍♀️
so tell me, is it normal? should make a move towards a guy at the gym?

for almost 4 weeks i’ve been feeling pain in my lower back in the left side
as i go on with my day, i don’t feel it, but when i lay in bed, i wake up with the worst pain, even breathing hurts that spot
i usually sleep on my side so whatever side i sleep on, it hurts SO BAD
when i got that pain, i was on vacantion so i was not lifting weights, so it can’t be hernia, right?
i don’t wanna go to the doctor for now because i still hope it can be solved
do you recommend some exercises or massages? let me know please 🙏

i’ve been going to the gym for a few months now, and RDL is one of my favorite glute exercise
i can feel it, but my grip and forearms are pulling me down and that’s the reason i can’t really progress anymore
i just hit 26kg dumbbells on each hand, so that’s 52 kg
my glutes can handle it, but my arms don’t
i tried to do it on the SmithMachine but i just can’t get my form right there

in may, i saw a guy at the gym and from then on, we’ve been making eye contact like crazy, even my friends noticed it
across the gym, looking in the mirrors just us two looking at each other
like 2 weeks ago, he followed my friend on ig, i don’t know how he found her, but he did
a few days ago, he messaged her, something about a new gym she’s been going to, posted it, and he replied asking where it was and the convo got on, found out she was a minor, and the conversation ended (i think he is 21, because he told her, he just finished his second year of uni)
and now i wanna approach him at the gym, i don’t know when or how, but i think i wanna do it
cus wdym you looking at me (he was only looking at me, even when i was with her) and texting my friend

what should i do?
