Girl 1 -- She's engaged. Signs of interest:If she realizes I'm coming from the back, she's going to turn around 15-20 times a minutes and then I'm obliged to join her; she was telling the women who accompanies her to not tell me about her marriage... but somehow I figured out. She walks WITH me. If I slow down, she slows down, if change tracks, she changes tracks too, and I can see it in her eyes she's very much interested. But since I asked her about her marriage, she lost interest (ah... relief for me).
Girl 2 -- This girl is married (engagement ring + mahandi) and probably 4 to 5 years elder to me and somewhere in her very late 20s. It's her first day in the gym. I was resting near the bicycles (all sweaty) and she came and started cycling on the bike which was closest to me (despite the fact all of them were free and the others were actually better). She was around 1ft close to me and watching me indirectly through the mirror.
My friend said that she just wants to 'talk' and be friends... can that be true?
Also the general staring -- it's common in my case, so I don't take that as a sign of interest. Even elderly women (auntie) stare at me and that's commonly accompanied with a smile. Even some men stare.
