I've been a gym regular for years, usually keep myself to myself and just train. There is one guy who has been coming for a while and I've had a couple of very short conversations when we left at the same time, initiated by him. I didn't think much of this but over the last month he has suddenly stepped up efforts to talk to me.
Last week he sat on the machine next to me and waved to get my attention as I wear headphones. I took them off and we ended up talking for 20 minutes. I asked his name and gave mine and when it ended I told him it was nice to chat. The next day I didn't want to be too pushy so I just said hello but the day after I started a chat with him to show that he was welcome to take things further if he wants. We didn't talk as long that time and since then he hasn't taken his turn to start a chat with me. I would love to talk more but don't want to push it if he was just being friendly. He is making an effort to say hello every day now though, even waving hi across the gym if we're not near enough to speak.
I'm confused. Would he go out of his way to get me to take my headphones off if he wasn't interested? One thing I noticed in our first chat was he told me that some men there were wanting to ask me out but too nervous. Did he want to find out if I'm single? Or whether I'm interested in them? He's about 15-20 years older than me but I find him so attractive and would love to get to know him better. I am the only girl he says hi to but he talks to other guys. Basically, would he make so much effort if he doesn't want more? Is he shy or just friendly?
