Wtf should I do? I went from almost fluent to block every sentence. Maybe is because i have to do a lot of stressful thing in September? Maybe I should try medication?
Hi everybody, I'm looking for some outside perspective on a situation with my gym crush because I'm not sure if I'm reading too much into it.
A few weeks ago, I started noticing a guy at my gym. We kept making eye contact for several days and It didn't feel like random eye contact either, it felt intentional and mutual.
A few days ago, there were only about five people in the gym, and he came over and asked if we could work in on a machine together. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but since the gym was nearly empty, I wondered why he specifically asked me. While we were alternating sets, I asked his name, and we ended up chatting for about five minutes. He seemed very engaged, asked me a lot of questions, and overall the conversation felt easy and mutual.
When we left the gym, I ran into him outside, and as we were saying goodbye, he smiled and said, "See you around."
Today I saw him again. For context, this is a gym with scheduled time slots. When your slot ends, you're technically supposed to leave, but people aren't kicked out immediately and it's pretty normal to stay a little longer.
I saw him right when his slot was ending and mine was starting. We talked briefly, and then he quickly ended the conversation by saying something like :"Anyway, I'll let you get back to your workout," and left. Since people don't have to leave the gym immediately when their time slot ends, he could have stayed around a little longer if he wanted to.
So now I'm wondering: was he trying not to bother me and giving me space to work out? Was he feeling a bit awkward or shy? Or was it actually a sign that he just wasn't that interested in talking to me?
Based on everything else do you think there are signs of genuine interest here, or does this sound more like normal gym friendliness?
