Hey BBJ, and BND, thanks for stopping by and I understand where you are coming from.

Hey, I have a question for some of you nice ladies, as I seek to understand women more, and clear away my own confusion, communication issues, etc..

Yesterday, after working out, I wound up in the elevator with a very attractive lady who had been in the gym at the same time. I am attempting to work beyond my issues of self confidence, etc, so I put myself out there a bit, and just introduced myself, and said I had seen her in the gym a few times, and started a brief chat on her workout and running as an exercise program.

I notice that all of a sudden she actually got nervous or shy, and actually blushed deeply, or was very embarrassed, as her face turned red and she started looking at her feet, and when her stop on the elevator she said a quick good bye and practically sprinted out the door.

My old self popped up, and I assumed I had said something wrong, or embarrassed her in some way, or she thought I was hitting on her, or she was afraid of me, etc.

I had been just analyzing bit, and wonder about a woman's perspective on interaction like this, as I try and make improvements in my communication and interaction with women to grow in this area more.
