Looking for some advice from the guru's. I've left as much detail as possible. Good karma will come your way for helping me.

I'm at the gym one morning and I see this female doing a pretty different routine. She looked like she knew what she was doing, and was super fit.

We cross each other at the water fountain and I start some chit chat "you look very familiar, where did you go to school?" blah blah blah. She was nice to me and after a couple of minutes we exchanged names (love it when you ask someone their name and don't say yours... and then she asks your name).

A couple of days later I'm entering the gym looking sharp (suit) and there she was eating an apple. I say hi and sit next to her and tell her that I noticed her routine was different, blah blah and she tells me she's a PT, and that she's into strength training, and that she competes.

We talked for about half an hour, she tells me she lived in Florida all her life and just moved here a couple of months ago (family is from here). Then she receives a call from her mom, who came to pick her up at the gym. So I tell her I'm interested in a session and she gives me her card.

That night I call her and we set up a meeting for next day. We train (session was awesome, girl really knows her shit, and we bonded) and afterwards I ask her if she wants to grab lunch. She thinks about it, then says she's really picky about food and that she'll take a raincheck. I say no problem and offer her a ride home, and she said not to worry, that she'd take the subway ("took a ride to the gym this morning and ended up regretting it and wishing I'd taken the subway... I'm weird like that"). :-/

That was Friday. Saturday morning she sends a txt asking how I feel, and I tell her I'm a little sore, but no big deal. Asked her if she was willing to train on Sunday. She said no problem. I offered to give her a ride to the gym since we live near by. She says she has a ride to the gym, but she could use a ride home afterwards.

Sunday we met at the gym and the session was awesome once again. We had some real chemistry. I didn't feel at all nervous around her and always had something to talk about. When we finished and got in the car she said "you must be starving." I said "I am, want to grab something to eat?" She said not really, that she ate right before our session.

Everything went great on the ride home. Never a moment of silence, talking about interesting subjects, etc. When we got there her father was outside, and came to the car and said hello. She stayed in the car while we spoke (5 mins). After he left we talked a bit more and then she left.

Monday morning she sends a txt reminding me to drink lots of water "aim for a gallon" she said. I told her my quads, abs and glutes said hello. She lol'd.

That afternoon after work I txt her that drinking a gallon isn't as easy as it sound. Then out of nowhere she tells me that if I find 3 other people to train we could train at this other gym and we could cut off the middle man.

---You see, at our current gym they charge $45 for a PT session and give her maybe $15 or $20. But both times we've trained the manager wasn't there, so I've paid her under the table (first session was free actually). She told me thanks since she really needs the money (her parents are very rich though). She didn't want to at first, but I insisted.---

I then tell her that it's gonna be hard since I don't know 3 people interested, but that we could keep doing what we've been doing as long as she was ok with it. Then she responds: "It's hard because I think I scare people away, lol."

I was like, wtf? I send her a txt telling her to give me a call, and she does. She was walking her dog, and so was I. After about 10 minutes on the phone, we meet.

We walked the dogs for about an hour, talked about a bunch of stuff, her life, how she ended up here (basically out of job and no family over there), she doesn't go out much, very dedicated to her body, asked her her age (32, 1 year older than me), etc. She didn't ask much about me, though. Only basic stuff like where I work, etc.

We said goodbye.

On Wednesday evening she sent a txt asking for my email so she could send my routines. I didn't reply.

Next morning we saw each other at the gym. She came over, with a smile on her face. I made a joke about some new crazy routine I was doing. She laughed.

A little later she came over again and told me next time we work out she had these new ideas, blah blah blah (she had a smile on her face). I told her tomorrow was a good day for me, and she said ok.

That evening she sent a txt asking what time we were gonna meet. Waited 30mins and sent a txt saying something came up at work and I wasn't able to make it. She replied 1 minute later saying "no problem, good luck".

Next day (Friday) I went to the gym very late, thinking there was no way I would see her. But there she was :/

I acted super friendly, as if I didn't care shit. As if I was never interested in her, but very friendly. Making jokes. She laughed a lot. She was very friendly.

I left without saying goodbye.

Didn't call or see her during the weekend.

Monday 5:30pm she sends a txt:

Hey! I'm about to go do a 'whatever' workout at the gym, if you want to join me. It's really intense fat burning + heavy lifting workout but only lasts like 20 mins. Good opportunity to learn how it works. Leaving now

I txt back saying I was busy at work and wasn't gonna be able to make it. She sent one back saying good luck.

Tuesday morning I went to the gym super early (hoping I wasn't gonna see her) but about half an hour later she got there. She said "hey! what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in court?" I said yeah, but trial started at 10am and I came in early to blow some steam (it was 8:30am). We talked a bit about the workout the day before and that was it. I left about 15 mins later without saying goodbye.

What do you guys think?

The interaction seems solid, both you and her give off the vibe of interesting, and cool people; The multiple run ins, regardless of the fact she works at the gym, come off as an IOI...

What's you strategy to take it to the next step?

Didn't see her Wednesday or Thursday. Today (Friday) I went to the gym around noon. She wasn't there either.

About 15 minutes later she walks in and walks right past me, playing with her iPhone, straight to the spinning room. She must have seen me as I was about 20 feet away.

I finish my workout (30 mins) and as I'm getting ready to leave she comes out of the spinning room, all sweaty, and we cross each other. She has a smile on her face as soon as she sees me. I say hi, we kissed.

We start talking. After about 3 minutes I mention something about her workout on Tuesday. She starts getting super excited and passionate about it. I lose interest. She tells me "I got way too technical there didn't I?". I say nah.

She then sits down. I remain standing up. We talk for a couple of more minutes about random stuff (how she took a ride to the gym from two different complete strangers, then tells me the story about it. I tell her she ain't in Florida anymore, blah blah). She then asks how my trial went. We talked a little about that. Then we talked about her dog, how he's sick (skin stuff) and she had to take him to the vet. She said she wanted to go kayak with him, but that she's not sure she's gonna do it now because he maybe shouldn't get wet. She said the dog is sleeping inside these past couple of days because her parents are away.

Conversation lasted 15 minutes. I said take care and left. No mention of training.

As in full on make out or just a friendly peck on the Cheek?

lol. Yes, just a peck... otherwise i wouldn't be asking for advice

3 hours after we saw each other at the gym i receive a txt message from her:

"Hey! Guess what?!"

2 minutes later:

"I found a place that sells that bread I was telling u about. It's called Ezekiel bread blah blah blah, place that sells it is called blah blah. I'm gonna have to find my way there"

----She told me about this bread on our way back from our second session. She told me she had a freezer full of it.

I reply:

"Really? I know where it is. How's your stash?"

She replies:

"It just hurt me to laugh! I'm good for now, but I heard they now have Ezekiel cereal. I'm an addict."

She then sends a picture of the cereal boxes saying "a friend just sent me this picture. Always trying to sabotage me"

In the picture there was a bunch of Cinnamon Raisin boxes but just one Original. So I send her a txt saying:

"Hmm. Just one Original left. It's been a looong time since I've had cereal for breakfast"

She replies:

"Wait, you are already there? You are fast."

I reply nah, just one left in the picture.

She replies:

"So, who is gonna get it. U want to race me for it"

I told her I had already called and told them to put it on hold for me, with a wink and a j/k.

My opinion regarding my next move is that she's already said no twice to food. When we walked our dogs she told me she doesn't go out much and hardly ever drinks alcohol. She's very dedicated to her body. So me inviting her to anything that may be harmful to her diet/goals/body would make her think twice about doing it.

I was thinking of inviting her to do something fun and healthy... during the day... like paddle boarding for example. I live in a tropical island and we both live near a lagoon and paddle boarding is pretty fun and healthy. I could say "my friend cancelled, want to come with"

Or, since she's super close with her dog (she told me today she wanted to go kayak because it's a two seater and she could take him with her) so I thought that if I invited her to do something which involved taking our dogs, it would be nice.

You see, I take my dog iguana hunting sometimes (he's a Beagle). I could tell her I was going to take my dog hunting and ask her if she and her dog want to come with.

What do you think? Do you think she's shown interest in me? People at other forums think she's just interested in my money and that it was a mistake to ask her for PT sessions. Now she sees me as business, they say.

But IMO, our interactions say otherwise. Yes, she's said no twice to lunch, but as I explained, her diet could have something to do with that.

An hour after I sent my txt:

She sends a txt with a picture of her dog upside down sleeping on the couch with the message "I'm gonna get into trouble" (referring to her parents being away and the dog being inside).

Hey Richard Pryor,
Here is the process IMHO I would go through
A. Find a list of IOI's/Body Language (Style has a list off his Annihilation Method)
Purpose: You can recognize any IOI she gives you 3 solid ones
B. Paddleboarding is an awesome Idea (BTW what tropical island? Surfing is a life goal of mine)
C. Act as if she is into you, and be comfortable with her being into you !
Have fun man (just a reminder) social interaction isn't all about pick up
Best of Luck,

I dont think shes using you for your money, man. Idk if you live in America, but usually we dont kiss to say hello haha. So its safe to say shes into you. I feel like shes shy and doesn't want to make too much commitment just yet. The fact that you're a client might make it weird for her, but if shes been training with you for free sometimes its def not about the money.

So, after all the txt messaging today I decided to give it a go and call her. It was around 7pm. We talked for about 5 mins and then I told her I wanted to go see a movie and asked her if she wanted to come with. She has a test tomorrow morning at 9am, but then said, "you know what, yes, it's at 9am so it's not like I need to wake up at 5am".

I picked her up at 9pm. She had a couple of slices of the Ezekiel bread and gave them to me as a present.

On our way to the movies she asks: "so, I'm not gonna receive any calls from any psycho girl am I?". I laugh and tell her no, I don't have a gf. I ask her if that's happened before and she says yes, more than once.

The choices were Contagion and Midnight in Paris. I chose the later. She said we could always walk out of the movie if it was bad.

I paid for the tickets, she paid for the parking. I wanted to get a bottle of water, so we made the line for snacks. When it was our turn to order she asked if I would drink the rest of a beer if she didn't finish it. I said sure, so she ordered a beer (surprising!). I paid for both the beer and the water.

We sat. Seats weren't that good. We talked all the way till the movie started. She even mentioned she used to smoked weed. Didn't specify if she still does (doubt it, though) but at least she's cool about that.

Movie sucked. Big time. As in complete bust. Not sure how 19k people could rate the movie 8.1 (imdb). Fucking idiots.

About an hour into the film I ask her if she wants to leave. She said she wouldn't mind leaving. It was obvious we both wanted to leave, so we left.

On our way out she said "what was the other movie you wanted to see?" and laughed. I said Contagion, but explained what it was about and why I thought it would have been a bad choice. She said "we should've gone kayaking instead" and laughed.

On our drive back to her house the conversation was flowing, but it wasn't as free flowing as other times. But considering how bad the movie was, it was understandable.

When we got to her home she said a couple of things, and then gave me a kiss on the cheek and said thanks for tonight and after I told her g/l tomorrow on the test she said "thx, I'll let you know if I fail" and smiled. She didn't give me an opportunity to kiss her even if I wanted to.

That was my night.

Look, man, you are over analyzing it. Stop looking for her to give you opportunities and all that stuff, just go for it. The movie night, she gave you many iois (did you notice them?).
Anyway, if you waste more time, it's gonna be a LJBF.

Friday morning, HBMermaid and I hit it off during chemistry lab, kino, her disqualifying herself because she is interested in me, opening up to me number closed her...yet refrained from texting her...Monday afternoon, saw her and that was it; She was clearly pissed I didn't actually text her"

Moral: When she opens the window (Texting back in my case is open) go through or the next option is create another (which I am doing ); But you've got your window !

IOI from your date:
She said yes! (Investment of time into you!)

AMP up attraction on her now (if you've got a pivot have her come out with a buddy and bring the PT)! And Build comfort (Run the cube;Chick crack is amazing !)

Be the man pounding her; Instead of letting her get pounded by another man !
