I have a dilemma

Earlier this year, I had signed up for a promotion that was supposed to do ab exercises. Well, I completely slept through that. Anyway, later on, I signed up for a couple of personal training sessions. For obvious reasons, I had to explain over and over again to the person I’m living with why the rules, as far as I knew, forbade from flirting with them as long as they were my trainer. Yes, they’re a female. Anyway, the program ended and I was unable to pay to continue it. But I had been told to call her. Unfortunately, I never did because, well, I fell off the wagon. I have a thing for ice cream. I felt kind of guilty about it. It seemed like she avoided me for a while but then she started saying hi to me again. I can’t tell sometimes though if she’s working out with her boyfriend or brother, though I did overhear one guy working out with her talking about some girl and I’m not sure if it would make things awkward if I approached her. I also think she might have said hi to me one time when I was listening to a TV through headphones and didn’t hear. However, I do have some major feelings for her, but I don’t want to make things awkward where I work out? I’ve tried to suppress my feelings but that isn’t working. I need advice. Thanks in advance.

since I fell asleep that first time, I wondered if it might be something like a higher power guiding me like God or if it's just chance.

Was that a SO? or just a roommate?

Maybe go out for something cold to drink after working out. Confess your ice cream addiction and see what reaction you get from her. You'll never know if you don't try. Worst that can happen is she isn't interested, which probably will be no more awkward than you feel now.

but all I could get out was hi and basically kind of melted. I think I need a confidence booster of some sort. I thought I might have seen her looking at me while she was training someone else, though. I was frustrated with myself, though, since my resolution for 2007 was to be more confident approaching women. Not doing so well on that. I need advice. Thanks in advance.

Those of us who are like that are really worth knowing, and we usually respond positively when approached by a nice person. Then again, some of us (women, that is) are really hateful, mean bitches. But you'll never know unless you try. She can't kill you. And she can't really hurt you unless you allow it. Go for it.

I'd say eat ice milk, do lots of sit-ups and read some long books -- constantly. Let things come to you, aside from the tummy-tightening and dietary details which are totally up to you.

Can you elaborate?

Like National Geographic, you have issues.

Sorry.
