Guy who works at the gym I go to came up to me, very randomly because I just say 'hi' and 'bye' when I enter or leave the gym - never have had any conversations with him, and asked me to go on the stair stepper with him. So I did and he was asking me a bunch of questions and asked, 'so you have any plans tonight' and then I said no and to make a long story short I asked him if he was going to do the event we were talking about that night and he said 'i don't know, I have to have dinner with my mom'. I had thought maybe he would ask me out, but he didn't so I was confused. So we had good conversation the whole time and had a lot of things in common. He didn't go on the next machine with me, but did some ab work and then came back later to walk on the treadmill right diagonally from me. When I ended my workout, he ended his and then waited to high five me, walked out with me and that was that.
The thing that I am over-analyzing, because the 'owner' of the gym was there and I have a feeling he might have just talked to me to give an 'in' to the owner for a 'survey' of how the gym is doing. Because he made sure to tell me who she was and then she made an opportunity to talk with me and asked me opinions on the gym and such. Then I saw him 'motioning' to another regular gym goer to her with his head.
Today I went to the gym and he was working, didn't really say anything to me. I said hi to him and he didn't seem interested in talking with me so I just did my workout and left.
So do you think he was talking with me just for an opportunity for the owner to 'chat' with me about the status of the gym or do you think he was sincere in his chat with me?
The other thing is yesterday he was off-duty when he chatted with me, today he was on the clock. Do you think that had anything to do with it? Thanks. I appreciate the time you took to read this whopper of a story.
Update: Thanks istagreatone! In response to some of your questions, only one of the questions was in regards to the gym and the rest were more personal. He was telling me a lot about himself as well, such as his career goals, his family & where he was from.

The gym I used to work at frowned on client-employee relationships. Our promotions manager had a major falling out with a guy that had been a member since the place opened. What a mess that was. Neither person should be allowed to procreate,but that's another story. Anyhow, he may be told that on his shift he needs to keep it professional, and maybe the owner saw what he was doing off the clock and discussed it with him.
Of course, your theory of him chatting you up for a survey could very well be possible too. If you want to know, you'll have to confront him.
i can see how you are confused. if he didn't ask 'what you were doing later' you probably wouldn't read so much into it. but being that he asked that showed more interest than the routine you wre doing. at the gym I go to, the staff there talks to everyoneand isn't bound behind the desk, so him not comming up to you on his work hour, shouldnt have stopped him, unless he HAS to be behind the counter. in your convo, was it all gym related? or were there personal questions asked to, other than what are you doing tonight. you answered right by saying you have no plans, to open up the door for a date, but its odd that he didn't take the step through it. maybe it was just a question to ask. he did learn that you are approachable, so he may come back up to you again. as for being confused. I think you should not read too much into it.
What is hard to get? What tactics do you use? and how do you re-ignite someones interest if you didn't play the hard to get game & felt them push...
