How to deal with jealous women if ignoring isn’t working?

[Anonymous]

Girl at the gym is driving me nuts. she's constantly setting up right next to me in an empty gym floor, looking at me to see if I’m jealous of her routine hell, even one time she did my entire warmup to prove she could do it too.
I try ignoring her but she tries harder. If I even glance at a guy at the gym she tries to get his attention. Sounds crazy but it’s so true and so annoying. she's pretty but I’m also pretty so she feels some type of way even though I could care less. It’s annoying because I’m reserved and quiet and she’s more of the bubbly pick me blonde so any man she’d be competing with me for would think I was standoffish anyway so not sure what she expects to accomplish?

Ugh girl drama at the gym is the worst! I'd start by talking to her when you're both calm, say something like "I noticed you seem to follow me around a lot and I'm honestly just here trying to get my workout in. Maybe we got off on the wrong foot somehow but I'd prefer if we gave each other space." If she keeps it up after that I'd bring it up to the staff - most gyms don't tolerate harassment. You could also try switching up your routine times so she can't corner you as easy. Don't let her mess with your flow! You have every right to that space and attention as she does. Stand up straight and walk with confidence, don't give her the satisfaction of knowing she's getting under your skin. Kill her with kindness if you have to interact but keep it minimal. She'll get bored once she realizes she can't bait you into a reaction. You've got this sis!

If possible, change the time you go. That way, you won’t run into her.

Just ignore her. If that doesn’t work, switch up the times you go.
