Someone can have hearing issues without it being apparent.

She has unquestionably pulled back. Yet we still do the eye contact thing and other stuff.

She likely thinks I'm not interested and I am just a gym chatting buddy. So NW girl is correct.

I cant ask now.Im going to be more bold and show interest, and see how that goes.

Um.... hello!?!

Dude... nothing shows interest more than asking her out.

What's the matter with you?

Personally, I hate going to the gym - I'm one chiropractor appt away from being told my latest workout plan is also incompatible with my body, just like all the others before it so the gym hates me too - so for me to actually do it, I have to make it a consistent part of my routine. With my current plan, I'm supposed to go 3x a week. Weekends, I go in the morning so it's out of the way and I don't have to try to fit it in later. Weekdays, if I don't go right after work, it just doesn't happen.
You gotta be kidding me, everything I say Is real and in detail. I wouldn't waste my time on here if it wasn't .

It's amazing to me that you all contribute.

Sorry, I forgot the only possible reason is because she's still totally into you and this isn't dead. And she wasn't really being distant and cold, she was just having a bad day.

Why is she somewhat distant yet leans in? I will likely up the flirting first and see how she responds. I feel like she won't do anything unless I'm expressing interest.

She's not extremely distant it's mild, she's not mad at me or unfriendly. I can't tell if you were being sarcastic

Any ideas?

She wouldn't do this if it was totally dead so I think something is still there. Our talks are getting better and were more acquainted. I'll try to flirt more and see how that goes.
Define close?

It could be a million reasons mate but to be honest you should have been more flirty and charming ages ago.

The one thing that I really can't believe is when you didn't approach her when she had friends with her, I know it's better one on one but IMO it shows that you're more serious if you're " brave " enough to approach a group of girls.

Even if it starts of as platonic and works its way up It really does work in your favour mate

Oh my GOD!

Because she is being POLITE!

Polite!

As a woman (don't know whether you men are taught this sort of thing too) you're supposed to at least fake interest if someone is speaking to you. Because. It's. Polite. One way to do that is to lean in as if absolutely fascinated...even if you wish an earthquake would create a giant crevasse to swallow the person so you won't be forced to listen to his drivel any more.

She wouldn't be cold and distant and blah-blah if she wanted to go out with you romantically.

The leaning in is a socially-instilled behavior that we nice girls MUST do, well, until we get so fed up that we crack, yell at the person (hence embarrassing and humiliating him in public), then run away in tears and probably go join another gym.

You're welcome.

The sarcasm emoticon should have been a clue.
