Hi David & welcome smile

I agree that it is normal to feel a little nervous in situations like this.

Is there a snack bar, or something like that, at the gym? Could you suggest having a drink there, together, to cool off ~ or something like that?

Then you could chat to her about how she got involved in the gym and what her other interests are ~ and would she like to go out for a proper meal with you sometime?

Good luck! smile
