Let me first start off by saying the gym is my mecca, I do not **** where I eat. I come to work out, turn my mind off and leave -- that's it.
That being said, I had been noticing a new trainer at my local gym with an incredible butt -- and she's young which is a deadly combo for me cus I chase younger women (I'm 36) she recently turned 21. I had been pretty much keeping my distance because I didn't wanna be a creepo or try hard, though I could notice her looking my way, or if I'd be in the area she was training someone, she'd play with her hair a lot (an attempt to get me to notice)
She happened to be training a former neighbor of mine and we talked for a bit and I dropped that I did photography for a living and the trainer goes "You do photography? I do too!" and talked for a bit, kept it short and went about my workout. Got her insta, followed her and she's been liking almost everything I've been posting lately, but when I see her at the gym I simply nod, or even just leave her alone cus she's training clients and plus has a ton of guys already talking to her -- I've learned not to be that guy who chases, but the one who doesn't to leave some mystery.
The other day I was grabbing my water bottle to drink mid set, she's at the training desk and happens to walk by, I've got my earphones in, I decide to give her a fist bump -- but rather as a ploy to make her think I've friendzoned her. Then went about my workout.
Today, I walked in, she hadn't been there for maybe 4-5 days, but as I walked in she walked by me and gave me a bit of a sly look, like a slight head tilt, no communication and I gave her a wink and went about my workout. I could get the feeling she looked my way maybe once or twice. I was walking back to get in a final stretch and she just happen to get off her shift, I threw her a "peace" sign like "cya" and then she goes "Hey, how are you?" almost like surprised. So I say, "Good, you? Okay well, bye" and I left.
I have the slightest inclination that she knows what I'm doing, but might be doing it back to me -- thing is, she's young, so I'm maybe mistaking friendliness here? Or she's intimidated? Or she knows I'm playing some sort of game and is attempting to do it back to me?
