Help! What does it mean if this certain guy at the gym keeps looking at me then looks down and smile. He also looks at me from across the room and When I caught him and then he looks away or just gives me that blank look. He does this thing too where he workouts near me like in my bubble and we are both doing different muscle group. I need to know if he is just shy or has zero social skills whatsoever.
Thank you!

Based on this description, I would say that he finds you attractive. Maybe he can't figure out a good way to approach you without appearing to be coming on to you, so he restricts himself to just looking at you and working his way over to be near you.

Initiate a conversation with him. See how he reacts. You'll have your answer.

What difference does it make?


He likes you and he is probably shy AND has zero social skills.


Get him, tiger. Tell him you would like to see his muscle.

Hes clearly attracted to you. Sounds shy also. If you're interested you have one of the easiest places to come up with a reason to talk. You could ask to work in with him on a bench or machine, or just say hello and ask what heis working on. Its a common question among gym goers who are familiar with regulars. Got asked this twice from two regulars just yesterday, both men with no apparent attraction. Your in a good spot to communicate if you choose.

And your opinion of him? Is he someone you could see holding your water bottle and sweat rag? . If so......it sounds like you might have to make the first move.

Maybe he's attracted but has a wife or s/o and knows he shouldn't be flirting and is stopping himself, or maybe just shy. You won't know unless you ask apparently because he hasn't approached you yet.

Obvious he is attracted to you but doesn't want to be creepy or a perv.

Also, he could be married or in a relationship you never know.
