Sorry this happened! (And I'm sorry for his GF too.) My guess is this is kind of his persona, maybe even one that he exaggerates a little in order to encourage women to take his class. If you feel creepy about it (I probably would), maybe see if there's another class so you don't have to run into him. That would kind of spoil it for me to have to stare at him and feel annoyed that his behavior had been kind of jerky.
Yeah, I feel bad for the girlfriend. If I was in her shoes, I'd feel horrible. Unless of course they have an understanding... I don't know.
His class is the only one in the evenings, so there's no other alternative for me.
Him flirting with you while he had a girlfriend wasn't a turn off? That would of killed any crush I had dead in its tracks. Man pigs are not hot. They are pathetic.
I just found out about the girlfriend yesterday and when I did, I experienced a multitude of emotions. Mortification, anger, disappointment and a mini-heart break lol. Like I was living an illusion all this while... which I was.
Anywhoo, lesson learned. Never take personal trainers seriously. Just focus on your work out.
I was very glad that I'm not the type to ask men out, I'd have been embarrassed.
Then I felt incredibly mortified. If I'd known dude was taken, I'd NEVER, EVER have smiled back at him
A lot of young women do this all the time. They do it for attention to feed their ego. They call it "flirting" and think there is nothing wrong with innocent flirting. Guys are supposed to "man up" and take the rejection and be embarrassed all the time.
I think it can be hurtful when you flirt and have no intentions of being with that person as you just experienced. It is wrong to play with people's feelings. You never know how a person feels inside or what kind of past they had. They can be vunerable and you are playing with their head.
Anyway, anyone ever been in a similar position. Ever had a crush on someone that was taken, knowingly or unknowingly. How did you fare?
Alternatively, what's the fastest way to get rid of a crush?
In this case I would think about being his girlfriend and him flirting with another patron this way. Instant null crush.

You are very correct. People should not be playing with other people's feelings. I thought he was available, not knowing he was very taken.
I think I need to remind myself that people don't always have the same moral/value code that I have. I wouldn't do that if I was taken, but he obviously does not share that value.
Anyway lesson learned. At least I still have my dignity. Didn't make a fool of myself.

Lol. I mean I felt really upset yesterday when I found out he had a girlfriend. I was livid and also embarrassed because I actually fancied dude. However, I am a person who can act a certain way, despite her feelings.
It's all professional from here on baby, despite how I feel about him. It's just painful because he was/is just so FINE.

I dont know about everyone else, but honestly I sometimes will flirt and not even realize it. It doesn't feed my ego or anything, it's just how I speak to women at times.
I don't know, I don't date men. What's been your experience?
I'm not a man...so I really don't know! My experience is that I've been flirted with about a bajillion times, sometimes as a leadup to asking for a date, sometimes not. (shrug) Not exactly revealing stuff, I know.
