I don't know about you guys but I'm not a fan of seeing people I know outside of places I frequent. Even if it's someone I'm attracted to I get a little anxious.

Well there's this girl at my gym who I've been trying to work the nerve up to talk to for a while now. We definitely lock eyes from time to time. The other day we had both been at the gym at the same time. She left just before me then we ran into each other at the grocery store in the booze aisle. She didnt see me at first and I finally said something to her but I scared tf out of her with my deep voice. Something like: (happens more often than I'd like.)

"Best place to be after the gym" or something sarcastic and corny like that lol

She replied back, after being startled:

"True."

We both continued to look at booze I noticed her pick up a case trying to deicde, got what I wanted then breezed by her and said to "do it." She smiled and i continued walking, checked out and left.

I wasn't trying to really hit on her and I had no intention of asking for her number. I more or less jusy wanted to establish a report. Which I thought I had

The next time I went to the gym I passed her on my way in, her way out. I smiled at her as we passed but she didnt smile back.

Was confident I had made progress. Not sure where I went wrong. Crappy thoughts start creeping in to my head whenever this happens. It's cause I'm short. It's cause I'm black (she's white) We're the same height 5'8 she may even have a few centimeters on me. Not even like I was rejected.

The worst.
