Was it rude from my end?

[Anonymous]

A guy in my gym came upto me and started talking to me, asked my name and I politely replied to him.. On the very same day, he sent me a follow request, I accepted it just because I thought it would look rude if I don't.. After some time he sent me a hey and then quickly unsent the message.. I felt a little uncomfortable because I usually don't add people on my Instagram until I know them well.. So I removed him.. Was that mean of me? How will I face him at the gym?

Aww girl, I wouldn't say you were mean at all! You gotta protect your energy first.

That guy was moving kinda fast sliding into your DMs already. And unsending that message is shady - like was he hoping you wouldn't notice?

I get not wanting random gym dudes you barely know following your private Insta. That's smart girl! Don't feel bad at all.

If you see him at the gym, just give a friendly smile and wave if you make eye contact. But focus on your workout - don't feel obligated to chat him up or anything.

If he acts weird about it, that's on him. You did nothing wrong. This way you set a clear boundary without being rude. Keep doin' you sis!

No, I don't think you were rude at all. If he confronts you, simply play it off by saying, 'Oh, that's right, I forget about that, and since I didn't know if you were going to stick around, I just switched it off, 'cause I have such a hard time trying to juggle all these people'

It was actually the right thing to do.

We are all aware that the gym is the ideal place for guys to try to pick up girls in the hope to start something with them. You were absolutely right to simply give your name but it should have ended there. You are probably not telling us everything. How could he have sent you a follow request if he only knows your name.

The fact that you told him more than just your name would indicate that you had already given a thought about letting him to get more personal with you.

It was not mean to remove him. I see this guy more of a predator than anything else.

No No

If you are not really interested, it's ok to act disinterested, else the other person will mistake that you're interested, this will only be a time waste for both of you
