I would like to first start by saying, I have used this site many many years ago. About 8 years ago. So I am back. This place has always been helpful. People on here have always been awesome.
Now to my question, It's not so much a question but rather I would like to get your guy's opinion on a situation. I am not asking on how to talk to my "Gym Crush" but rather you opinion on the situation involving her.
I have been back in fitness for almost two years now. I have struggled over the years to maintain a good relationship with the gym lol. But about two years ago I found the motivation to get back into the gym and I haven't turned back since. The gym I am currently going to I have been going there almost a year now. Love it. Best gym I have ever been to. Shortly after starting to attend this gym I started taking notice in some of the women that go there regularly, as being newly single, only natural. But one women stood out to me from all of the others. I do know her name but I am just going to call her GC (Gym Crush). At first I figured she didn't even notice me. Just another random dude at the gym. But as time has gone on, I kind of think that isn't so much the case, or at least not anymore. There have been many situations in which I (along with my gym partners) believe she has purposely given me a "window", if you will, to talk to her. I will recount the situations in which I can remember. There maybe more, but these are the ones that stand out in my memory.
First time.
Normal day for me, get off work, head to the gym. Kill my workout getting ready to leave the free weight/cable area. Mind you which is upstairs. I go to take a sip of water before heading down stairs. Notice GC was in the open area stretching, I don't remember how long she had been over there stretching. I don't think it was that long. Anyway, get my sip of water, start heading towards the stairs to leave. Right as I turn the corner to head down stairs I look back to see her "finished" stretching and also headed for the stairs. The reason I brought the situation up is because at the time it look almost as though she saw me leaving and wanted to leave right then also, Like she wasn't completely done stretching but wanted to give me that "window"
Second time.
Before I start the next situation, I would like to first say I am not some crazy stalker dude. I have just been going to this gym so long that I have learned all of the regulars habits in the gym. Yes I tend to people watch while I am resting between sets. I like to maintain a good situation awareness. Blame it on my military background if you will.
Anyway, normally GC will come in. Go to the open area of the gym and starting pre-stretching/warming up. And then go do Cardio. And either just do cardio or she will do a little cardio then go and workout. Normally my gym partners and I will be at the gym and working out before GC gets there. This has happened a few occasions, she has done her normal routine, go do cardio then she would come over to the leg area, the same day we are doing legs. Again, not on ONE occasion but on MULTIPLE. Coincidence? Maybe. The next situation will explain why I am starting to think all of this isn't just a coincidence.
Third Time.
Again, my gym partners and I get to the gym and get started. Chest day! Start with our first lift, dips. Then head over to the free weight area, next up is flat bench-press. About half way through I notice GC walks in. She does her normal thing. We keep doing our thing, finish up bench press. Move over to dumbbell flies. Then we start doing incline dumbbell press. GC is done with her cardio. She also comes over to the free weight area. And picks a bench right next to us. Literally not but two feet from where we are working. It's a Thursday so the gym is usually pretty dead. Plenty of room for her to workout on one of the other benches but she chose the one right next to us.
Fourth Time.
Last Friday, I am by myself. Get to the gym start doing my thing. It's arm day. I was getting close to being about halfway done with my workout. Working Tries, was on skull crushers, then had one arm cable extensions then onto Bies. About halfway through the skull crushers, GC walks in. fills up her water bottle then heads straight for the free weights, yes breaking her normal routine. Grabs an easy-bar starts working out right next to me AGAIN. Again it's a Friday, there might be but 10 people between the cardio room, the free weights and cable weights. No one else was in the free weight area. Just me and GC. But again picks the spot/bench right next to me. Plenty of other room. I finish up with my skull crushers. Head over to the cable area to finish off Tries. Get to the side of the cable machine to do my one arm cable extensions. GC finishes up whatever she was doing with the easy bar. I think curls. Then she also heads over to the cable area. I am using the side that has me facing compass North. She goes to the side of it that has her facing compass South. Which also happens to be facing me. She couldn't work on the side that would be considered "next to me" because it is for Lat pull-downs. She wasn't working that. Now when she came over the entire side she was on was completely free. She could have chose the side that also would have her faced compass North. (These cables the ones that face North and South are designed to be used simultaneously, depending on what you are working, essentially one in each hand working which ever muscle group you are targeting.) There is also another set of cables that could have been used for what she was doing. North East of where I was working approx. 25-30ft away. But again she chose the cables that put us essentially facing each other. We technically couldn't see directly at each other but there is a full length mirror that makes it very easy to see around.
These are all of the times that I can remember that I am starting to think it wasn't "just a coincidence" but that she was trying to give me a window to talk to her. There are more I just can't remember them all. I have talked with a few people about these incidents. They seem to think it isn't a coincidence but that she is trying to get me to talk to her. One of who is my sister, which she has stated that she will do the same things as my GC to get someone's attention. My gym partners have noticed this "behavior?" (not really sure how else to put it.) Could it be she is trying to get maybe one of their attentions? I honestly don't think that is the case. These have happened when it has just been myself at the gym i.e. last Friday (as stated above).
Again, I am not asking for advice on how to talk to her. I can figure that much out on my own, I would just like your guy's opinion on the situations is she purposely putting herself in position for me to talk to her and I am not seizing the opportunity or is it just a huge coincidence?
Now to my question, It's not so much a question but rather I would like to get your guy's opinion on a situation. I am not asking on how to talk to my "Gym Crush" but rather you opinion on the situation involving her.
