Emmii Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 I've been having some friendly banter with this guy at the gym. The last few times his done some very strange things. The first thing was he was me showing pictures of his children. Then he had to show me a picture of himself dressed up with his son. I couldn't understand why he felt the need to do that when he'd already showed me a picture of his son. I didn't ask him about his personal life and he was telling me about it. I told him my mum would disown me if i ran off with someone and he said so would i? What did he mean by that? When I was training he went pass and he said put your bum down and I said I can't cuz it's big to which he came out with I can tell your blocking the light. He came over we we're playfully bantering and he went to punch me. I was looking at my pictures from a party and he came over and said your dress is short and smiled. Since seeing my pictures his been giving me long smiling stares. Bantering with me even more. I told him to have a shave and he did. But he cut himself and I was taking the Micky out of him. I'm confused. I'm I reading into it too much?
BellaMarieOC Posted November 20, 2012 Posted November 20, 2012 He sounds like a creepy gym stalker....I'm guessing he's much older than you? Watch out.
Author Emmii Posted November 20, 2012 Author Posted November 20, 2012 BellaMarieOC: yes he is but his a total gentleman. He will only joke with me if I say something to him. Yesterday I was talking to someone and he walked pass to remind me that we had a class to which I said to him not to be late for sparring and have a shave. Today he'd had a shave and was on time. I asked him if the hairdressers had done it and he said no. Well in that case you need a guide to shave as he'd cut himself. He started laughing.
kamani Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 This sounds like a normal friendship. He might be interested in dating you, if he is single.
Author Emmii Posted November 27, 2012 Author Posted November 27, 2012 Kamani he is single. He told me his been divorced for 3 years. He's been teasing and naming calling me. He told me I'm cheeky and all I've done is given him abuse with a smirk. If I say something to him he'll laugh and if I'm being sarcastic he gives me long stares. I still don't get it? He asked if I was coming in to train with him and I said no cuz of work but will be in next week. He smiled.

He asked if I was coming in to train with him and I said no cuz of work but will be in next week. He smiled. He might have shown you the picture of him dressed up with his son to show you that there is no wife in the picture. Often those type of pictures will have both parents if they are together. As to your question, who knows if he likes you? Lay off the sarcasm. Get your flirt on. (I think you have this one down based on the tidbits you provided.) Mention something that you would like to do on some weekend afternoon/evening, preferably something that you know he has an interest in. See if he bites and asks if you'd like to go together. Basically, try to make it clear that if he were to ask you out you wouldn't shoot him down. Of course, there is the direct approach: just ask him out! Have to admit, I've never had the guts to ask a guy out, but there are women out there who do. By the way, divorced doesn't equal single. He could have a girlfriend. Try to ascertain that there isn't one in the picture. The receptionist and the trainers at a gym are typically troves of information when it comes to these things. I've been amazed at what they volunteer sometimes.
