Ok so I have a hug crush on this guy that goes to my gym. I workout 4 days a week and 3 out of the 4 day I'm there he is also there. When I go to the gym I'm extremely focused and he is too. It all started about a month and a half ago. I was working out with one of my co workers . We were just chit chatting about how to build muscle in my problem areas when my crush (not at the time) walked by. My co worker stated to me that my crush use to be extremely skinned and now he is just godly lol like a Greek god !!! He's about 6'3 ,caucasian ,blonde hair , blue eyes and slim built. Ever since that day I started to notice him more and more. About a week and a half after that I was working out my triceps. I looked in the mirror to make sure my form was correct and then I saw him looking at me in the same mirror but then he quickly turned his head . Ever since then I can feel him looking at me and when I decided to look back he looks away. I'm extremely shy to say anything and when I hype my self to say something I chicken out big time . In my gym there's a private room with punching bags , ropes and TRX equipment. I was working out on one of the stands and I had my head phones in just jamming. He came over and point basically asking if I was done and I just waved it off like yea I'm done. Big mistake ... That was like my chance but I never took off my headphones. But lately for the last week I've notice him workout closer and closer to me. I don't know if I'm over thinking that he might be interested because I'm so interested in him. Should I say anything to him? I don't know if he is even attracted to me . I'm a very pretty woman inside and out but I'm mix with Peruvian , Jamaican and Native American and I'm on the browner side. I'm curvy built 36-27-43 . I started at 179 now I'm 159 !!!! So I don't know if he is interested in another race . I'm down with the swirl life lol( interracial dating) but I never been hit on by a white guy before. And I am so scared of rejection because I never put myself in the position to be rejected. So what should I do!!!! I need help!!!! Serious answers please!!

    Where are you? I'm in Canada (caucasian )and I wouldn't have even thought about the mixed / interracial difference. Here there is such a mix of everyone from every ethnicity from an early age that it's not even a thing. Some people have blue eyes, some have brown, some skin is darker, some people are taller.
    Speak up, or you'll always wonder. Good luck, though I'm sure you don't need it.

    I'd like to think that we're a modernized enough society where this really shouldn't be a factor.

    Just talk to the guy.

    If he's checking you out, I'd say there's a good chance he's interested. Talk to him. Humor is a good place to start. While you're jamming out, maybe stop and ask if he likes New Kids On The Block, too? (or something silly like that to make him smile and catch him off guard, a bit. Idk, I'm old and unattractive so I have always had to find ways to initiate conversation with women. You are beautiful. I'm sure it will go fine.


    Lol I may just do that and thank you. And don't down yourself there's other ways to be attractive other than our outer shell

    I live in north east Florida . But the city I live in you do not see a lot of interracial couples. I guess I'm super nervous because I never been approached by other races only black men. And thank you

    Yes it may be 2015 but people still dislike the fact of interracial dating. And some ppl just don't find other races attractive or there scared of what ppl may think . Me ... I don't care what so ever what ppl think . I'm me ! Lol It's not that I don't have confidence. I just don't want to make myself look like a fool. I neeeeeever approach a guy. So I don't even know how to approach him specially at a gym ! Now if it was at a bar that's a different story. I'll be a little easier since ppl at bars are there to have a good time and you will always meet someone new at a bar but in a gym ..... Idk it just feels weird . But thank you for your opinion I appreciate it☺️

    Well, if you never approach a guy instead of at a bar, I'd say that reduces your prospects by half. If you never tried something new that makes you feel a little awkward or weird, you'd have to reject most the workout machines at the gym. Look at this as an opportunity to practice something new.

    My daughter is in an "interracial" marriage. She stares down the fools. ("Interracial" is offensive in itself. We're all the same race).

    yes I get it trust me I am into women of all races, so I have passed up a lot of possible opportunities because I felt there may be an issue due to skin tone and what not. If he is showing some type of interest then just approach him when there is down time and introduce yourself. As a man i can say that is VERY attractive to us because its rare women have the guts to do that. You don't have to go all the way in and ask if he has a gf or anything just plant the seed introduce yourself that will let him know you took the first step now how he reacts will let you know if he is into you.
