Isn’t that more just that she is attracted? I do think there is a difference between attraction and interested.
I am not a woman, but I thought a lot of that type of stuff (playing with hair, playing with jewelry / clothing, how she is standing in relation to you, finding terrible jokes hilarious, etc) was more subconscious. I would think something subconscious would indicate attraction, but not necessarily interest.
People told me for years to grow out my curly hair, and when I finally did (for 15 months) I got a ton of compliments. What went into making it look presentable though? Let’s just say I’m back to the short back and sides.
Call it whatever you want. Attraction/Interest/DTF.
I would assume that assuming the last one would often be jumping to conclusions. Possible to be attracted to someone without being DTF haha.
Were you listening to the dudes story Donny?
I was bowling
Honestly I don’t mind. I love being around people who are passionate about sports.
I’m really terribly oblivious to detail, I didn’t even think of looking at these ahahah!
Is it? Isn’t attraction about physical draw and lust? 
Basically no monogamous relationship (aside from asexuals who aren’t attracted to others) would work if being attracted to someone else meant DTF. I think you can be attracted to someone sexually but understand acting on those feelings has consequences. If you are choosing to not act on those feelings I would say you are attracted to the person but not DTF.
Maybe I am an odd ball in that I am married, but still attracted to many women? IDK, I thought that most people in relationships are still attracted to others? If I got a hall pass, I’d use it.
Okay I get what you mean and I agree with you !
I totally agree about being around people who are passionate about sport/training. I love kicking it with other gym types.
I Feel like the “women playing with their hair when interested thing” is a totally widely know, widely observed and widely discussed phenomenon. Like, everybody knows about it, and it’s not just something I made up. I guess it’s possible that I’m wrong.
But anyway, enough about what I feel. We have a great opportunity for an observational study, with 2 questions to explore!
Do women even mess with their hair in public at all? I’m pretty confident that if a woman enters a gym, there is a 100% chance she will adjust her hair at least once, at some point, before she leaves.
Will this particular woman send “physical signals” that she is in some way “Intrigued” by you? And more specifically, will she mess with her hair a lot?
I think I’m more excited about this gym meet up than you are!
Oh no I just mean that i’m terrible at picking up these kinds of clues. I remember one girl I dated, I picked this for once. She was playing with her hair a lot during the car ride ahah.
What are these? 
Spoiler, I actually met her a week or so ago. I was just asking because I wanted to know if this is a normal phenomenon or something. And no, I’m not a sommity here for now. Stuff is growing nicely and I very happy, but I’m still a “nobody”.
I remember, now that she did her ponytail at least twice. But isn’t that expected during intense workout?
We talked a lot about training and stuff and it was pleasant. We did ehavy deads, then some benching, where one of her friend came by.I remember they were really impressed by my bench technique and strength. She later said for incline dumbbells “and you said you weren’t strong?”.
And she’s a 56kgs girl benching 85 kgs with terrible technique lol
I had to run off hastily for a coaching afterwards before the end of the long-ass session.
But then, we didn’t talked much, she didn’t answer one of my reply and that was it.
So she probably, I think:
Thought I was weird or didn’t liked what she spent time with
Thought I didn’t liked her
True, I remained 100% platonic. I’m really terrible at making interactions man-to-woman unless I can catch a hint that she’s interested or that it’s the right context
Sure I’m friendly, but I think i was making excuses. Like “I don’t want to hit on girls on IG because that’s my work stuff and coaches already have a bad reputation etc”
People, all people that I talked with that don’t really know me, think I’m a chad that banged hundreds of girls and doesn’t care about them lol. They couldn’t be more wrong ahah
In any case, I’ve been SWAMPED in work so yeah. I’m not interecting with women at all right now
So, I had lunch with the new econ friend. It was great!
We actually didn’t talk that much about research. I think he got the memo because the meeting felt like a behavioural interview.

I’ve never made any bones about being subject to my most basic instincts, but I feel like a moron for not being able to stop watching this.
It lacks drama over here.
Talking with a few girls but I don’t “feel like it”. I’m lazy and don’t want to do any effort. It’s always been like this, either I drool like Tex Avery’s wolf, or I’m like “meh”.
Anyway, I thought I was over my ex. truly. Zero contact was a blessful. Ten days ago, she started looking at all my Instagram stories, participate to all my quizzes and surveys, and switched her profile on public (I had deleted her from everywhere obviously).
Of course I started thinking about her. Thursday I was working until 2AM and mentally weak, and I messaged her. She told me stuff like “I only like the gym with you”, “Do you miss me at the gym?”, “I like your last picture” etc etc
Why are people doing this. And now I think about her H24. Well, I’m gonna have to block her once and for all, because I’m just too weak. I’m like a moth drawn to the flame. Even though she was soooo bad to me. And my friends told me of their own horror stories with bad girls. I feel disheartened.
I don’t think it’s necessarily malicious on her part. She might just be a bit lonely and miss having a gym buddy.
This semester, I’m not taking any economics courses so I feel a bit isolated. Sometimes I’ll reach out to my Econ friend who I know wants more than I’m willing to give if we were in a real relationship.
I think he does the same, bc he’ll message me asking to hang out even though he goes on dates with other girls regularly
Hum to clarify context, she’s been in Canada for 3 weeks (holydays). We never really were gym buddies per se. I just did a few session with her or wrote her a program.
Perhaps it’s me that’s not normal, but you don’t come out of the blue and say stuff like that to your ex, whom you treated badly, then tossed away after he paid you a trip to Croatia to go back with your own ex 
If we were friends, sure.
Hum sure but like you said, he’s a friend, and you most likely established the terms of your relationship. It’s not like there was feeling etc involved, right?
I guess that’s another point for the camp “men and women can’t really be friends” ahahahah
Ohh, thst changes things. My best guess is that she regrets the breakup, something went wrong in Canada and wants to get back to at least somewhat friendly terms
It’s a bit complicated. We had somewhat of a contract. He’d always wanted a bit more from a physical perspective than I really had time for (or wanted in the long run), so I told him to go find other girls. He got back with an ex for a bit, but something went wrong and he’s back to having fun on the market.
My friends told me she just want to see if she has hold/power over me.
I love how you can be so practical about this ahah. My complete opposite.
That… is………
Haha 
this is why I’m an economist
These are just assumptions.
And I guess why I’m a coach
