I was at the gym last night, and there's this lady that works at front counter. She's attractive, yes, but that's not my point. In order to get to the water fountain from the gym area, you have to walk past the front counter. I've made small talk with her, but nothing more.

As I got done with my routine, I walked past her at the counter, towards the locker room, and she wasn't paying attention. She had her head down working on some paper work. There were probably 10 guys in the locker room at the time. When I walk out of the locker room, on my way to leave, as soon as I walk out I see her at the front desk, head still down working on something. While I wasn't staring at her the whole time I was walking towards the counter and ultimately the front door, I could see that she never once looked up at me. Her eyes were behind the counter, so it's not like she could have seen me out of her peripheral.

As I walked past her I thought about saying something polite like Merry Christmas or something. But she seemd preoccupied so I started to just walk past. With her head still down, she says "have a good night, jason, drive safe!"

HOW DID SHE SEE ME? I never once saw her look up to see who I was when I was walking past.

Obviously with the 20 hidden cameras in the locker room.

That or she smelled your horrific body odor.

She knows what I look like already. I've talked to her. It's just that from the time I walked out of the locker room till when I walked past her, she never once looked up at me, yet still knew I was walking by somehow. And it's not like I just went into the locker room and came back out. I was in there for like 45 minutes.. Sauna, Steam Room, shower, etc.

It's not weird at all.

People think I have eyes in the back of my head!

My ears can "see" far more than my eyes. I know who's in the corner and I don't even have to get up to look. That's just the way it is.

The average guy looks at my chest 4.8 times before conversation starts! For those of you thinking we don't notice, we do! That and looking for rings. Women are smarter than given credit for. Just remember that. :hmm:

The drugs you do at the gym probably distorted reality for a few moments. In reality, you were standing next to her desk and chatting the entire time until you walked to the door to leave.

She didn't even look up at me when she said it. I still have no idea how she could have known it was me. I can sense when people are walking by, and I can kinda tell when a fat guy at work is walking by, but thats just because hes the only fat guy and you can tell easily when he is walking.

While I wasn't staring at her the whole time

That pretty much sums how she "magically saw you without looking up".

Also, the only thing I find weird about this is that you obsessed over it so much you posted it on ATOT.

Weird? It's just something I observed and didn't expect. She's pretty, and I have to walk straight towards her on my way out, so she was in my sight's the whole time. I wasn't staring straight at her though, so even if she looked up it's not like I would have been right there staring at her. but I just never saw her look up, and there isn't cameras where she was at.

maybe she just has better senses than you do. why is this weird? do you walk all ninja like? people can distinguish between others by footsteps.

She probably has a few hundred guys walking past her each day. She probably appears busy as they walk past to avoid attention. She can hear the rhythm of a guy's footsteps as he walks by and she can hear irregularities in the steps. She seems to have noticed you enough for some reason to know the rhythm of your footsteps as you walk past. Talk to her more next time. Not too much but smile and say hello. Ask her how her x-mas went. Ask her about her plans for New Year's.

I was thinking the same. I'm in decent shape, but this woman probably sees a hundred guys in better shape and better looking than me walk by, so I wouldn't have expected to stand out enough for her to pick up on nuances in my walking style, at least enough to recognize it while I'm walking by without looking.

And I have already made small talk with her on several occasions. We already had some laughs, etc. but 9/10 times I walk by her without saying anything.

At work, I could tell who was walking by my cubicle just by the sound/pattern of their steps. It was weird.
