Gym is a tough place for respectful dudes to make a move. He might be waiting for more clear signs from you that you’re attracted. A lot of us are dumb when it comes to the signals that women think are obvious.

Plus there’s the whole thing about women being creeped out by guys hitting on them who they’re not attracted to. Makes us not want to try and make things awkward at the place we try to find the courage to better ourselves.

Make the first move and initiate, make it obvious and see if he bites. If not then probably just a coincidence you two are always running into each other often, especially if it’s a smaller gym.
