There’s a girl at the gym who always moves whenever I use a machine next to her. It seems like she’s intentionally trying to make me feel rejected?

Why would she do this?

Do you know anyone there? Like do you have a workout buddy? If so what you need to do is wait till she notices you, look at her then turn to your friend and whisper something. If you can get him in on it, all the better. Whisper for him to laugh. Then after he laughs turn back and look at her with a half grin on your face but only briefly. Then go back to working out. I guarantee you she'll be self conscious the rest of the workout, she might leave, and if she doesn't like you she'll be infuriated at the very idea that you have the gall to judge her. Not realizing you never said a thing.

Now you are living rent free in her head man. Checkmate! You're welcome!

It doesn't matter. That is a sign to stay well away. She could be doing it to trigger you, or might just feel uncomfortable. Whatever the reason doesn't matter. I'm surprised people still go the the gym when you have portable workout kit that can go up to 1000lbs of force...

Because not everyone can afford home gyms or have the room for one.

[Truthatanycost]

@Daniela1982 If you have room to stand then you have room for the one I mentioned. It is a wooden platform, a handle and a strap called the Isochain. The commercial version is expensive but there are so many ways of getting it cheap, making it yourself or having someone else make it for less than you're paying for a gym. It is a method Bruce-Lee used to train and is safer than lifting and about 1-2% less effective so barely noticeable difference.

[Daniela1982]

You could probably pick one up at a garage sale cheaper seeing that is where 90% of home gyms wind up.

Because she is there to work out, not meet guys. When a guy takes up the machine next to you, even though there are others not being used, it kind of makes it seem like someone is going to put the moves on you. So you may move. Either that or she just doesn't like your looks and doesn't want to be bothered by you and she moves.

She is out of order doing thats if it is because of his looks , typical snowflake behaviour from modern women and he never said there were empty machines

@yesterdayschild Exactly/

[HeartFullOfGlue]

I don't know, maybe you look like someone she knows.

Orrr, she might like you. I personally try to avoid being seen by someone I like, but its probably not that one.

[D_Bone_Steak]

At least she's just moving instead of recording herself trying to call you out and posting it on TikTok right?

Maybe just take the hint and try not to be around her. Reject her right back and I bet she'll give chase if she figures out she liked the attention.

[HawkPerception]

There's no definite answer for this. It really depends on the girl. She could be shy around men and intentionally distancing herself from all men, or it could be she's focused on her workout would rather avoid a flirting scenario, or it could even be she's spoken for.

[LiamJHayden]

Not enough info. Are you selecting the one machine closest to her when there are others open? If so, do you do this consistently? If not, maybe she finds it distracting to have people near her when working out. In any event, a gym is a place to work out not to meet up.

[Sharkstealth]

I don't go to machines just because a girl I'm attracted to is there. I go to a machine that I'm working the body parts I'm working at. Now many times I see girls coming closer to me and bending over to obviously show me their ass, camel toe, or tits. The strange thing is I generally don't approach these girls. If they are making eye contact and smiling I usually approach the next time I see them.

[Deformate]

I guess it depends on whether there are other similar machines nearby. When in doubt, use the urinal rule; one empty urinal between each visitor. If you keep trying to use a machine next to her it would just look creepy and stalkerish.

[Avicenna]

Maybe it's just coincidence or she just thought you were following her.

[Staximus]

Do you bother her, stare at her, or try to talk to her when she's busy working out? If not, then she is either a weirdo or she likes you.

[DarkLegacy]

That is horrible, she has no business doing that. This is typical modern snowflake behaviour

[gothbxtch]

maybe she just doesn’t want to work out next to any man

[slatyb]

Is it just you, or is other men too?

[normandi]

May be u smell
