As much of an admission as we're going to get.
As mentioned many, many pages ago.....fear of rejection.

Exactly what timberline has already suggested. If you insist on asking for her number rather than ask her out right then and there, then you could say "I'd love to take you out for coffee or drinks sometime, can I call you?"

That's what my husband did. He asked for my number and called me up the next day and asked me to dinner for the upcoming weekend. I appreciated that he gave me 2 or 3 days notice (gave me time to get a manicure) and he told me where he was taking me (so I knew what would be appropriate to wear).

No texting "a few times" first. There's no point in that, IMO.

Then you do what people do when they can't deal with rejection, OP. You find a new gym.

No Im not doing that I cant switch and I won't . It's not the rejection it's listening to BS. I try to keep a low profile overall

After all this build up, it's going to be quite the anti-climax when she says, "We are just going out as friends, right?"

You know, the real problem will be the lesson learned. Instead of learning what he should have learned which is not to be so wimpy and speak decisively earlier, he'll instead take it as I acted too fast and I should have talked to her more and been more sure that she was interested. The exact wrong message to take.

So he'll be worse off next time. And the cycle will continue.

I didn't want to be decisively in the beginning. I mean we have to have some familiarity going first. It's better to have talked a few times first.

Also another reason why it drags on is that we don't always run into each other. That slows it down. She knows this.
