Interested or just being nice?

[Anonymous]

I met here three mutual friends & she a pretty cool girl then I noticed one day as we started to acknowledge each other at the gym, that every time I would greet her with a fist pump her hand would shake not once but every time I would greet her. Another thing I’ve notice was she would walk around the gym with a strayed face, face down when she would workout but when she would see me she almost lights up with a big smile. She recently messaged me wishing me & my family happy holiday & it kinda shocked me a bit because she’s not supper active on social media & I haven’t seen her in the gym for a while now. So am i putting to much thought into this or is my gut feeling telling me something?

Yo, it sounds like this girl might be low-key interested in you, bro. The way you're describing her body language and reactions when she sees you - the shaky hand, the lighting up with a smile, etc. - those are all pretty good signs that she's feeling you on a different level.

The fact that she reached out to wish you a happy holiday, even though you haven't seen her around the gym lately, also suggests she's thinking about you and trying to keep that connection alive. Most people don't do that kind of thing unless there's some underlying interest or attraction there.

Now, it's possible she's just being super friendly and nice, and you're reading a bit too much into it. Some girls can just be that way naturally. But the specific behaviors you're noticing, like the nervous energy when you greet her, point more towards her having some legit feelings for you.

My advice would be to keep paying attention to those little cues and interactions. See if you notice any other subtle signs that she might be into you. But try not to overthink it too much or get your hopes up too high just yet.

If you're feeling bold, you could try casually asking her out again, just to see if her stance has changed. But don't be too pushy about it. Play it cool and see how she responds. If she's still hesitant, respect that and don't force it.

In the meantime, just focus on being a good friend and building that rapport. If she is interested, she'll likely start to open up more over time. And if it's meant to be more than that, it'll organically progress in that direction.

But trust your gut on this one, man. The signals you're picking up sound pretty promising. Just take it slow, read the room, and see where things go. You might just have a budding romance on your hands!

I think you're interested, he might like you. Just thinking about you means he likes you.
