No idea. Last week I didn't go in due to work. I know she has a big event coming up in June. She tells me all about it. So she also has allot on her plate.

The next time she's alone I'll get it done. I can't tell when I will run into her next.

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.
I just hope with her insistence on talking said twice in the same conversation that the offer is still out there.

Part of this dragging on is out of my control as I can't tell when we'll see each other next.

I do think she might think why I'm taking so long I
mean she asked to talk twice and I need to follow up with that.

If only you could "bump" the interactions with her the way you bump this thread.

Employ some of that persistence next time you're around her.

I'm guessing she conveniently won't be at the gym for the rest of the week.

I'm not making it up when she's not there. If she's not she's not.

As someone already suggested, you would think that not knowing when or even if you are going to see her again would have caused you to have already stepped this up. If you were actually interested in her. Which you clearly are not.

You needed to follow up on that when she first said it. She probably isn't wondering what's taking you so long. She's probably moved on and outside of the gym doesn't think about you at all.

Sometimes your encouraging sometimes you're not. I am interested like I said I don't run into her all the time. Our last talk was her suggesting she single . I already knew that but she's trying to nudge it along. If I don't run into her there's nothing I can do until I see her next.

I do think she changed her FB to make it look like she's not with anyone. She didn't delete photos of longtime friends for just a random reason like the day after she hints with me that she is single. She knows I have seen it and likely wonders if I look at it and may think she's taken. I rarely look at it. I don't really use social media in general.

If she didn't care at all she wouldn't have hinted at her bring single. Just last week

* We have hardly bumped into each other since then. I can't control that aspect. I can make a move if I haven't really seen her since.

I have not really seen her since last week. I would have done something but I can't until I see her again.

I have no idea if I even will go to the gym tonight. I'm so tired I look like hell .

I want to resume next week.

I'm still willing to bet her taking down the pictures has nothing at all to do with you. Maybe HE asked her to take them down for some reason.

You should have made your move last week when she gave you the perfect opening to do so.

I honestly will not be surprised if she starts going to the gym at a different time to avoid running into you now that she's put herself out there and you rejected her.
