Woman was rather talkative with me in the pool today. Please help me interpret this situation.

Were you wearing a speedo?

Funny You Ask Because

I have been swimming for the past few weeks while I am recovering from a stress fracture and pool etiquette is new to me.

Lane sharing is common and most people ask politely to share a lane and then mostly keep to themselves as they swim. As I finished up a lap today, I noticed that a young woman was at the wall, she asked to share the lane, and I obliged, as usual.

Well, things went a bit differently today. During the swim, she was attempting to make conversation and ask me questions, and was quite friendly and smiled at me a lot. She would ask me a question as soon as I reached the wall, which was a bit annoying because I wanted to immediately turn around and get started on my next lap (but I was flattered and would stop to chat for awhile). I started to get the feeling that she was waiting for me to finish my lap to initiate some conversation....

Anyways, was this woman flirting with me or was she just making conversation and I misinterpreted the situation? I have a feeling that I missed an opportunity here.

And more importantly did she notice your 3 incher during your chat?

No, just regular swimming trunks. But I need to get a couple of them Speedos to reduce the drag.

You will probably see her at the pool again soon. She has already worked her way into your imagination (which is not to say that your interpretation was wrong), so there are some interesting possibilities about how the next encounter will go. She may act exactly the same, in which case you might as well go ahead and ask her out (I hope you are better at this kind of thing than I am). Or she may act a little more cool toward you, which will cause you to become even more enflamed. Then when you see her leaving with some other guy you will become more or less obsessed and start timing your entrances and exits to coincide with hers, get extremely jealous when you see her talking to someone else, etc. Once you get caught in one of these situations, it’s very difficult to get yourself out of it. At that point you’re kind of like a drug addict who desperately wants to quit but can’t.

May this love bring you the happiness that you deserve,

Your kindred spirit,

I hope you followed her into the women’s locker room to continue the conversation. No point in stopping when things are moving along!

What kind of questions was she asking? This is the single most important information for evaluating the woman's interest and intent. The fact you left out this crucially important piece of the story leads me to believe that either you have a very serious social maladjustment disorder or you're a troll. I guess it's possible both things could be operating a the same time, though.

Oh, pics of yourself would be most helpful as well.

Real talk mine is like 1 inch in the pool it is so gd embarrassing I don't even swim because of it.

I say this so some other shrinker knows he's not alone.

Funny that you mention another man because she seemed to be there with some guy and was talking to him about leaving the pool, and then did another couple laps and chatted with me some more. I didn't pay enough attention to scope out that situation. I have been recruited for threesome situations before, so maybe that was going on.

And yes, she has definitely worked herself into my imagination and perhaps I will see her again. Maybe she will continue to be friendly or her interest will cool. Either way, I am down the rabbit hole.

I'll send pics when I get my speedo.

I left out the content of the questions in the interest of brevity. She kept trying to start conversation as soon as I reached the wall. Let's see, the first question was some small talk about how often I swim there, and then I mentioned I was there for injury rehab and that I am a runner and not much of a swimmer, and then questions snowballed from there with details about the injury, swimming experience, and she gave me some advice on backstroke. I kinda cut off the conversation because I wanted to keep swimming, but she seemed interested in chatting more.

And yes, I admit to being somewhat socially maladjusted, especially when I trying to get in a workout.

No, I just waited outside the building and followed her home.

Was the wall near the friends ladder or closer to the lovers ladder?

I'm no swim suit expert, but i think the next move is to wear something that lets your junk "accidentally" fall out. make sure you have a half chub so it looks more impressive.

hope this helps

Just ask her if she'd like to grab lunch together after the workout.

It's as simple as "How much longer is your workout?" and you go from there

If she says she has a boyfriend/husband...the correct answer is, was and always will be "What's your man got to do with me?"

Don't forget Jamin.

I just said a woman at the pool seemed interested in me. Nobody said anything about hooking up. Now get off your phone and pay attention in summer school.

It's in the afternoon, so dinner will have to do. I'm also not sure how a significant other would prevent a friendly chat with another guy (Wink, wink).

Noted. Will do. I'm sure this move works every time at the pool.
