“Should I try to date my gym coach?”

I’m 24 years old and have a gym coach for the last year who is 43. During the past few months we have slept together 4 times but continue on as normal, as coach and client. We get along really well and have a lot in common but he drives me mad and is really set in his ways, but I am mad for him and it’s making me crazy.

We never speak about our ‘get togethers’ afterwards but they keep happening and I would love to know what it all means. I am recently out of a 4 and a half year relationship so I’m not looking for another one but I would like to know how he feels, or if he is even slightly interested in me in a more serious way. I am so afraid of rejection that I never tell him how I am feeling at all, and sometimes I feel as if he is being the same with me. I was thinking of asking him to see a comedian with me later this month that we both like. Super afraid of getting rejected but I want to spend more time with him outside of the physical stuff. What should I do???

    All you can do is ask him. Worst he can do is say no. If he says no then it may be in both of your best intrests to find a new coach. You are both at very different life points. I have seen couples with differences in age work out, but it takes a lot of work and they were a decade older at more similar points in life.

What do you think?
