I started going to a new gym in October, and ever since December, I've noticed this guy who I've formed a crush on. I think he notices me too, but I can’t tell if the feelings are mutual. It’s one of those situations where we accidentally looked at each other once, and then glanced back to see if it was accidental.
I’ve been keeping a log of when I see him, what he does, and our silent interactions through our eyes. He comes every Sunday without fail, lol, at the same time as me. He does cardio and leg workout. I only go for cardio, so treadmill and stairs for about an hour. We both work out alone, headphones in. Without fail, we notice each other every time. If I’m looking at him, he looks back. He’s so hot, but I can’t hold eye contact so I usually look away or he does. It doesn’t help that I have a resting bitch face and never smile.
I get excited for Sundays because I get to see him, and it’s getting absolutely ridiculous to the point where I think about him a lot. I had to check myself - I don’t know a thing about him, and not a smile from either of us. I’m employing the mindset that a crush is a lack of information. I don’t mind what we have going on because it’s a good motivator to show up, but this can’t go on forever. I know I will not and do not have the courage to initiate a conversation. I do not want to switch gyms. My other option is to put myself in close proximity to him or make him uncomfortable, lol. My plan is to not break eye contact the next time he looks my way and maybe give him a smile to throw him off. Do you think this will make him uncomfortable? Also, I want to hop on the treadmill right next to him to see his reaction. After two to three times, then I can determine if I should go at a different time on Sunday. I’m giving him the signs, right? My moves have to be super calculated since I only see him once a week, and I don’t think anything is going to progress if we just keep staring at each other. Thoughts?
