I got attached to a guy at the gym without even knowing his name

first i was going to the gym with my brother and he doesn’t know that im gay so i never really had the freedom to look at people there freely lol 😭

but once my brother stopped going in september 2024, i started going alone for the first time and i was anxious asf because i had never worked out alone before.

during my first exercise, this guy came to help me finish my last rep and then asked if we could work together on the machine. so i helped him too.

the problem is that i’m super introverted so the next sessions, even if i saw him, i wouldn’t talk to him at all😔

anyway after some days i stopped seeing him completely and thought maybe he changed gyms or something.

then summer 2025 came and suddenly i saw him again. we still never actually talked, just eye contact every session, but i noticed he always tried to help me during exercises since i train alone. and i did the same for him sometimes too. one day i even helped him with squats.

with time i started feeling weirdly attached to this guy even though i don’t even know his name😭

the last time i saw him was in september 2025. he finished his workout and while leaving the gym he blinked at me 😭😭😭

now i genuinely don’t know if he was just being nice or if there was something more and honestly i feel messy asf because i still think about him sometimes and i don’t even know if i’ll ever see him again😔
