Long story short, this girl at my gym would not leave me alone. Every time I hit a set she was trying to talk to me more and more. I didn't realize she was into me until after the fact. She was basically auditioning for me. She was trying very hard to express herself to me and whatnot. We definitely have a lot in common and a lot to talk about. But I decided to hold back a bit, because I kinda took her extreme interest with skepticism and I also didn't wanna sound like a pussy when I asked her out (you know, typical fear of rejection stuff because I am still coming out of my shell).

anyway... I told myself that when I see her again I would definitely talk to her and ask her out. But after she had been consistently in the gym and near me for weeks she has not been to the gym same time as me for two weeks since that day.

I've stumbled upon her IG after venting to my buddy today how stupid I was for not realizing in the moment how into me she was.

SO, I want to follow her on IG and say "dude where have you been? i've been trying to ask you out"

I'm posting here because I am stopping myself and thinking "Am I about to ruin a good thing? Am I about to fuck everything up in one text?"

I think it's a bold move and I don't know if I'll ever see her again soon and I don't fucking want to wait any longer to hope she might appear!!

Maybe a happy middleground is to just follow her? Should I DM her too?

I think it could work in my favor but I also don't want to ruin my prospect. But my little heart tells me to say the above DM to her. What do you think?

Just wait to see her in person again and ask if things feel right. Don't go the stalker route and follow social media.

Do it. You don’t want to regret what might have been.

there's not a single good story that contains this. stop being weird. asking out on text or Internet or IG or anything ALWAYS has a worse success rate than in person. do not make an unforced error

I did end up following her with no DM and she followed me back right away so that's good... Still want to DM her though

Chicks that act like dudes (pursue, not be pursued) are often MTF trannies or as crazy as MTF trannies, either way that can't possibly end well, and here you are calling "her" a "dude". Silence might be the best imaginable outcome. Best case she was desperate for attention and those chicks are also crazy and have a stack of problems.
The second problem is your suggestion is cringe try "hey are you OK I miss working out with you at the gym whats up?" That displays some interest (but not too much) and its an easy question for her to answer so you're most likely to get a response. Later, something along the lines of you not being around made me realize I miss you or something like that.
As AI generated filler material this was fairly entertaining and well done, almost sounds like a real relationship post.
