His ex keeps staring at me when we're at the gym. It makes me uncomfortable!

A female Canada, *uzzie writes:

I work out at the rec centre and the gym is right above the pool. There are huge windows so the people in the pool area are able to see the people working out in the gym, which is upstairs.

The problem is that my ex-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend swims in the pool, and whenever I am working out on the cross trainer or the bike I happen to look out the windows and she is watching me. Sometimes she'll be in the hottub and I've even seen her look at me while she does laps.

I know she doesn't like me and it makes me uncomfortable. This is the only place I can afford to go work out at.

I walked into the rec centre today and she was sitting at the front and just STARED at me so I ignored her and kept walking.

Should I confront her?

Relax kiddo! he is not staring at you intentionally but when a person is going through the training routine, they empty their minds and look into space. if you happen to be in the line of vision then you feel like you are being stared at.

Change your routine so that you are not in his line of vision and if he still focusses on you then either smie and wave or make a complaint.

Dont confront her this is probably what she is wanting and hoping from you..just carry on with what you are there to do..you aint done anything wrong here and if she has a problem then let her get on with it..really isnt your problem.

The big thing here is for you to keep your INTEGRITY! She is trying to assert her dominance/ scare you whatever. It may get to you, but don't let her see that. Just keep your head high and focussed on what you're doing. You could even smile back- wouldn't that infuriate her!

If it continues for ages then you might want to change the times when you work out, but at the end of the day- how long can she keep this up? It'll just be eating her up inside. Good luck.

sexseahot agony auntMaybe you should stare back and let it be known you're not afraid of her whatsoever. Or you can just start laughing at her to yourself because she has nothing else better to do and obviously she's thinking of you in some way or another.

People like that bother me cause they have a problem and think they're cool or something, but don't do anything about it but stare, and what does that do? NOTHING!!! I personally think it's pointless, but she may think differ. If you're uncomfortable with her doing this, don't let her know because she will do it more, act like it don't bother you.

Good luck!!! Hopefully she finds a new hobby soon, or someone new to stare at:)
