Is my gym crush interested?

I’ve been crushing soooo hard on this guy at my gym. I see him regularly during my regular gym time.

At first i thought that there was no way in hell that this guy would even notice me. But lately I’ve caught him looking my direction frequently.

It used to be just glances, but now I feel like he’s looking very often and has started to lift on machines near me or in close proximity. He looks when he’s far away, but won’t make eye contact when he’s near me.

The other day, I was doing hip thrusts on the machine while he was on the squat rack and I kept seeing him look towards me. After I got done w a set, I saw him walking towards me and he said “I’m so sorry to bother you but I’ve been trying to do these for months and I cannot feel them in anything but my hamstrings”.

I was so shocked that he was talking to me that I swear I glitched out for a second. I smiled at him and told him he wasn’t bothering me and gave him some tips. He was really receptive and we made some small talk for about another minute and then he apologized again for bothering me and we went separate ways.

I couldn’t process what the hell just happened. I’ve been overthinking the whole interaction since. He never gave his name, and I contemplated going back up to ask him for it but I sadly pussed out. I’ve been driving myself mad to find it ever since.

My question is: was that an excuse to talk to me? Or was he really just asking for some simple advice. I’m really oblivious when it comes to picking up on stuff like this lol. I’m trying to build up the courage to go up to him when I see him next, but I don’t want to make something out of nothing and I am so incredibly shy.

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
