Well yesterday I was in the Gym working out as Ive made it my resolution to go 3/4 times a week.
Anyway Im in there working out, and also checking out this cute petite blonde girl, anyway I get a glimpse of her face and she looks even better at the front than the back.
A bit later Im working out on this one machine and she comes over to ask me how to work this one machine, I didnt have a clue so I just told her, 'No Im not sure sorry', then about 20 seconds later I realise that maybe I have blown a chance to get to know her a bit better so I went over and had a look around and fixed it for her.
We had a little laugh and a joke about the state of the gym, but then I sort of went blank and made a excuse to exit(I said I was looking for a water fountain that works as the other one has been knackered for days).
I mean why was I trying to exit when for once I was talking to a good looking woman who seemed to appreciate my humour and personality and after all she seemed a really nice down to earth girl with good looks(you dont get many like that where I live).
What I am wanting to know is:

a)Did she like me or was she just genuinely stuck with a machine?

b)Should I have chatted her up and tried to get her number or would that have been too forward for someone Id barely talked to for 5 minutes?

c)How would you have all gone about taking it further? What would you have said or done?

Its weird Ive got a mixed response off another forum telling me I should act like the Prize and let her chase me, but im not sure that would work.
I probably will never see her again afterall thats the first time Ive seen her there, its probably if I end up in a similar situation again.
Wouldnt they think I was a bit weird though asking for their number in the first 5 minutes Ive known them?

A. Why do you care if she likes you? She doesn't know you, so if she does or doesn't like you at this point it's completely irrelevant. Does she find you sexually attractive or interesting? Possibly. It's not easy for a women to ask for help in a gym and if they do it's usually to a member of staff. IOI in my opinion.

B. At that point in time based on the conversation you had, an attempt to get her number would have been too forward. Chatting her up or atleast trying to be interesting would be a good thing to do obviously.

C. I've not had much experience of Gym Sarging but a conversation about dieting along with training, whether she does it and how you manage it (make sure you talk about your eating habits, keep the burden off her) would have perfect for a number closer, "you should give me your number and we could go out one night for some food at XYZ place after training".
They're wrong. She's already done the chasing and if you're going to ignore it then you're being a dick and you're over analysing the situation. She's made the first move, this is a good thing. If anything you've probably frozen her out a bit with your rapid exit from last time. You can sit it out and see if the freeze out encourages her (which I doubt unless she's infactuated with you) or you could go take the next step yourself (push/pull).

Your question about thinking your weird or not is your whole problem with this situation.

1. You shouldn't care what she thinks, she is after all just another girl.
2. If you want to get her, you have to be prepared to lose her (Strauss)

Next time you see her, ask her for some help on a machine that's stupid easily to use and break the ice right away and take it from there IMO.
