About a month and a half ago a girl was giving me heavy signals in gym, have not seen her for a while until today.
tldr of first encounter
>she wanted me to show her how a machine works
>she stared at me a lot and seemed very interested
>made small talk but not a lot of it
>she went on the treadmill next to me
>didn't really try to get her number while I did have a heavy opener because I was still moving on from a heavy breakup

today:
>finally see her at the gym again
>we haven't spoken at all, not even a hello
>one part of me wants to give this a chance other part doesn't
>come up with hundreds of reasons such as:
>>I will be gone for university to a different city that's far away and will rarely visit my home city
>>I have no clue if she's interesting or not
>>I have no idea if it will be cringe if I ask her out now
>>I have a different haircut now
>>it's a fucking gym of all places
>finish my workout and go change
>feel shit on the way home

Did I do the right thing? Considering I will not be here for long and it will lead to a inevitable breakup (if this even works) because I will have to leave and not up for a LDR. I still am pretty fucked up from all experiences with women and need half a year of a break. Maybe I just saw a opportunity because a woman gave me chance before. I'm pretty handsome but fall for stuff like this a lot.

You made the right choice. You thought about pursuing a relationship, but you already know that it wouldn't work out because of other life factors. Doing nothing, which you did, was the best choice

The thing is that I maybe could have been back home for about 2 days a week but that's just so tiring and pointless. I seriously don't want to pursue a cringe long distance relationship. Don't even know how much I can trust her and if anything I need some time on my own.
I appreciate it, I totally sound like I'm trying to make this work no matter how ridiculous that sounds.

You're definitely catastrophizing and thinking in black and white. Regardless, if you were the slightest bit interested, you could've at least asked her out for coffee.

You keep repeating that you don't want a long distance relationship and you couldn't have any other if you chose to date her. Just re-read your own posts, you make the argument best yourself

It's that I don't have immediate interest in a girl unless it's someone I will vibe with. I don't look for women who are just beautiful because most of the time they literally have no personality and are plain boring besides sex. If I got to know this girl and she would turn out great then maybe I wouldn't have a problem with being with her despite the circumstances but I'm still unsure. University would give me someone who would be there an entire week. What I knew for certain is that this girl was falling for me then and I had chances.

How do you know there will be a vibe if you don't get to know them first?

Few reasons why I don't approach and I'm being 100 honest here
>I'm afraid of rejection
>lose lose situation
>if we get along then it will be hard to turn into long distance,
>if it doesn't work out then there's a chance of awkward rejection + same gym

Then it's your call. She was giving you green lights to ask her out, but now you feel bad about it because you didn't do anything.
