Is my gym crush interested or am I delulu?

[Anonymous]

I (34f) have been seeing this guy at the gym for 6+ months now. I have a total crush on him.


I thought he was attractive but didn’t think much of it until about 3 weeks ago when I felt like he has been deliberately placing himself in my field of vision & obviously making eye contact.

Example: I was running on the treadmill and he walks 2 yrds literally right in front of me, turns and just stands there looking right at me. So my thoughts were, “oh! He’s trying to get my attention “

this happened 2x where I felt he was going out of his way to make sure I saw him and made eye contact with me.

A few times I was nervous and looked away…. but now i keep trying to catch his eyes Bc I notice him but i feel like he looks away.

So my question is… did I make up his interest in my own head lol does this guy just think I’m a freak now Bc I keep looking at him? How do I make it comfortable for him to approach me?

Girl, I don't think you're imagining it - sounds like he's definitely into you too!

No way a guy keeps "accidentally" putting himself in your line of sight like that without being interested. He's trying to get your attention, for sure.

My advice would be next time you lock eyes, give him a little smile and hold his gaze for a few seconds. Just a friendly acknowledgement to let him know you see him looking.

You could also find an excuse to start a casual convo, like asking for a spot on the bench press or something. Get the interaction going and see how it feels.

If you're still nervous, leave your Instagram name written on the gym mirror in lipstick one day with a little "hi" next to it. Ball's in his court then!

I say go for it - the waiting and wondering will drive you crazy. Grab that cute butt by the handlebars and take control, girl! Let me know what happens!
