There was this cute guy at the gym who approached me and now I don’t see him as much. What should I do?

Hmm, that is kinda awkward. A few thoughts on what you could do:

- If you catch him working out again, you could try saying hi and asking how's it going in a friendly way, just to let him know you noticed him too. Guys can be shy sometimes too!

- Check if he's on any of the social media platforms you're on. You could send a casual follow request so if he accepts, you have an easy way to chat.

- Consider going to the gym at similar times you saw him before, in case your schedules just don't line up well. Seeing a friendly face can motivate people to keep commitments!

- As a last resort, you could ask the front desk if they have his name on file (just say you want to add him as a friend on the gym app or something low-key). Then you'd at least have a name to search for online.

But don't come on too strong! He may have just been being polite that first time. Give it a bit to see if your paths cross naturally again first before pursuing too hard. The gym should be fun, not stressful. Good luck and hope to see an update soon!

What happened when he approached you?

We chatted a little bit. We were both refilling our water bottles and he has seen me around before and I turned the corner to refill my water and immediately he was like “hey how’s it going? Are you refilling your water?” Or something like that and I answered but I was also nervous cuz I didn’t think I’d see him haha and I was like “my water filter broke so I am using this 😂 “ I was a little nervous so hopefully not too shy.

It sounds like you took his presence for granted? You're only worried because you don't see him as much. But what did you do when you were seeing him as much...

[Asker]

I’m not sure how was I supposed to reciprocate? I was just going along for the conversation. Other times I see him he just looks at me but that’s kind of it.

If you were interested you could have shown it in some way.

[Asker]

Well next time I see him I’ll wave and say hi.
