Hey all, apologies for the wall of text.
I’ve been working out at the campus gym for about 2 years. I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight (around 30 lbs) and replaced it with muscle. I’d say I’m pretty darn fit. Occasionally I’d catch girls looking at me, start small talk sometimes, but yesterday I met this girl who is completely different from the others and I’m not sure about what to do.
I went to the gym yesterday morning at around 9am, and there were about 5 or 6 people there. This very cute girl approached me at the end of my dumb bell bench press sets (with my headphones on) and sparked up a conversation with me – asking me random questions about fitness and health. For example, she wanted to start doing some muscle training but she was a bit embarrassed to ask other people and she was too scared to attempt exercises by herself. Long story short, I gave her a few tips and even assisted her in a few exercises (I tried my best not to stare @ obvious places). We talked for about an hour about various things, such as school, where we live, how often we go to the gym/what times… then I had to leave because of work. She asked me what time I went to the gym and how often I visited, saying she was going to try to come at around the same times.
I’m very interested in this girl…so I’m wondering if anyone has similar experiences. If so, what should I do? I don’t want to come on too fast without knowing if she’s interested… and I’m not sure as to whether or not she thinks of me as just a free personal trainer (sigh) or if she decided to talk to me of all people because she’s interested.

All of the obvious signs suggest that she’s interested- just ask her on a date, at worst, she’ll say no and you’ll be no worse off than you were before you met her. If she gets freaked out and avoids you, you’ll simply lose someone you weren’t even that close with. At best, you’ll get a girlfriend. So really, it’s a safe bet.
I would say you just got hit on! If I were you, I would see how your future meetings go. If she talks about stuff other than health/fitness, then it’s a good start. After you’ve talked to her a few times, suggest doing something outside of the gym – grabbing lunch, going to happy hour (if you’re not underage), something casual. If she agrees to it, chances are that she is interested in you as more than just a personal trainer. You can also tell by little gestures – like if she touches you, laughs a lot, etc.
I’m surprised that she was so forward – I don’t think I could ever go up to any of the guys I would see at my campus gym and start up a conversation… but good for her (and you)!
(Side note – it was always sort of my “day-dream” to be hit on at the gym… lucky you!)
