hellopeople Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 This guy, let’s call him Guy, is a personal trainer at the gym I frequent. I’ve been an active member for a little over a year now thanks to my breakup last year. At first I didn’t really notice him but during the summer he caught my eye and I fell hard. The thing is, he’s never actually said a word to me. I catch him shooting glances my way (a lot) but he has never actually approached me. When I’m working a certain machine he walks by me quite a bit. I’d like to think he’s interested but again, he’s never really showed any signs except the numerous glances. Most of the time, after I work out, I crash at the smoothie stand for a little while. There are chairs and tables so I sit there and read my book or just recuperate after a hard workout. A few times Guy has also chilled at the ‘smoothie lounge’. But never for long. He usually sits with his other trainer buddies. But last week while I was just sipping my smoothie and looking over some work, I noticed that Guy dropped his bag on a nearby table. He then proceeded to look at me, meet my gaze, pick up his stuff, and walk out. Uh? What? Strike one. I don’t want to keep hoping for something that might all be in my head. I mean, if he liked me wouldn’t he say something? I’ve heard that when a guy likes you, you’ll know. And when he doesn’t, you’ll be confused. Well, I’m confused all right. It seems to me that he’s had plenty of opportunity to strike up a conversation (aka smoothie lounge), but then again, it is pretty hard to talk to someone in the middle of their workout session. I know he’s not married but I’m not 100% sure of his relationship status because one night a few weeks ago I saw him and a bunch of the other trainers from the gym at a club. Guy was dancing away with a female who works the front desk of the gym. Moreover, I’ve seen them chatting it up on the gym grounds too. Strike two. As of now, I feel like I should just drop him but I can’t help but hold out for that little ray of hope. And to be fair, I've been pretty aloof towards him - but I do glance at him a lot too. So what do you guys think? Is this something I should keep pursuing (aka, step it up a notch) or is it all in my head?
xpaperxcutx Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Strike up a conversation by asking him how much he charges for one-on- training. Introduce yourself and all that other stuff two people interacting would do. You won't actually know a person until you actually know them.
