There is a really cute guy at my gym that i went to high school with about 10 years ago...I would see him and knew i knew him somehow, but the last time i saw him his hair was really long and he just looked very different. Now he is in awesome shape and his hair is practically shaved off-he was a good friend of my cousin sarah in high school.

So yesterday he comes up to me and is like, please tell me how i know you, i know i know you from somewhere. I was like, i'm sara's cousin and immediately he knew what i meant. He was like, oh yeah that's right, i had seen you here a few times and it was just bugging me how i knew you. SO we chatted a little and i noticed that during the conversation he didnt mention anythign about sara or ask how she was doing. as he walked away, i was like, i'll tell sara you said hi. He was just like, oh absolutely. At one point i walked by him while he was getting a drink toward the locker room. He was like, oh you taking off? i was like, no im just going in here. I was nervous kind of and didnt know what to say-it's awkward at the gym since people are trying to work out and all. So when i did leave and i was pulling out of the parking lot i noticed someone in a truck waving at me-i had no idea who it was then realized it was him with sunglasses on. I waved back.

I told my cousins sister that i saw him (mike) at the gym and she was like, oh they got in a big fight and arent friends anymore. I guess it was because mike was engaged to sara's friend, then basically got 'good looking' and dumped her...I dont know if this is the whole truth...i just kind of laughed. Then i told sarah i saw him and she told me he got kind of conceited when he became 'good looking.' Sarah has had falling outs with a lot of people in her time though...even her sister said that. I told sarah i thought he was hot and told her we chatted briefly. She was like, well ask him out for a drink or something. I said, no way! Then she was like, well i really dont think he's a very nice person, etc...

So today i see him at the gym again...i was getting a drink and he was coming down the stairs. He saw me and was like, are you just getting here or leaving. I said i had been here for about a half hour and had been on the treadmill. He was like, you spend a lot of time on these machines and laughed. I was like, i do? he was like, well you're always running or doing the stairmaster, it's not a bad thing though. He walked by me once when i was on the stair master and smiled and winked. Then when i was walking on the treadmill he was walking from a distance and it looked like he told me to go faster or something...i just made a face...He is so hot! He's totally my type from what i can see...but i dont know if there's any hope of us getting a date based on my cousin...or the fact that the only opportuinity we have to talk is in the gym...I just cant stop thinking about how cute he is though...am i being ridiculous?

I don't think you're being ridiculous. I think you're crushing on a guy at the gym. Why not set a work out *date* together? And after a few more times of meeting at the gym you can ask him to meet for a coffee or something.

But I wouldn't worry too much about your cousin, since she doesn't seem to care either way. Unless she was interested in him, then I would back off. But if she's not, then I say go for it!
