i went against the grain on this one but couldnt pass it up. Ive been going to my gym for about a year and theres a girl there thats a bombshell. She never really gave me any mind until a couple of months ago. Im in the best shape of my life and my lifting buddy is pretty good friends with the owner of the place so over the past year ive been social and made friends with a lot of regulars at the gym. she eventually added me on insta and was liking all my pics constantly. Eventually I decided to properly introduce myself in person and we chatted for a bit. After that intro, it was common for either of us to go over and say a couple words when we saw each other at the gym. all good so far. Never thought much of it as far as pursuing it goes. its the gym after all and its pretty mmuch like work. "dont shit where you eat." two week the gyms instagram featured me on their page for a transformation tuesday post. a couple minutes after it was posted i get a message from her saying how awesome and amazing i look. we banter back and forth for a couple messages and almost out of pure instinct from i say "Give me your number. we should grab a drink sometimes." she replies "yes please!" and provides the digits. I text her a day later just saying whats up so she had my number. Suggest getting together this week (last week i was out of town for work) to which she happily agrees. That brings us to today. I text her after i get out of work "hey hows it going? she relpies shortly after and i move right in for logistics. I text "Im going to x on thursday at 6 for a drink. come join me. Cue the crickets. No response. I go to the gym and finish working out. Im walking out of the locker room and i see she is there. Dont know if she saw me or not but i just walked out. Dont know what i should have done in that situation or what to do from here if i dont get a response at all. My question is, how should i conduct myself when we inevitably run into each other at the gym if invite ultimately (likely) gets ignored? Im thinking just act like i never sent the text and keep it civil and def. dont act like it bothered me. Stay stoic and stay my usual self. Just wondering if any of you have had a similar experience or advice how to proceed? Much appreciated fam.
