A girl I like sent me a friend request.

Hi,
There’s this girl I’ve been seeing at the gym for a while now and long story shore - I really like her. I’m not even sure how it happened but we started greeting each other although we’ve never actually had a proper conversation.

Yesterday, she sent me a friend request on Facebook, which really surprised me because I honestly have no idea how she even knows my name or how she found me...

I found out that she works as a fitness trainer and apparently she’s already seeing someone although I’m not 100% sure about that.

So my question is – how should I take this? Should I message her or maybe talk to her the next time I see her at the gym? Or should I just see it as something purely friendly?

I’m a quite shy when it comes to talking to girls I like and I really don’t want to mess things up with her so I’d really appreciate any advice.

Accept the request, be friendly and get to know her. You already know you both like fitness and gyms, so there's an icebreaker. As you talk you'll get to know more about mutual tastes in music, food, etc. and if that all goes well, perhaps things my become romantic but don't get ahead of yourself. Just be a friend first.

I'm going to tell you an obvious fact a lot of dudes don't seem to internalize:

Women are people

I don't mean that you're objectifying her or something like that, rather dudes think women are like this other species.
They aren't.

Sure she's attractive and so on, but she's just a regular person. So just talk to her like a regular person.

Why so reserved? Just accept her friend request, and tell her you're looking forward to seeing her soon.

I always go with the blunt option just tell her that you like her a lot romantically for a long time but she was always with someone else and you are respectful?

She is probably no longer a girl so look at her and treat her like a woman/lady.

Women don’t want every guy to have a romance with. She migh be looking for a friend.

Accept the friend request, but respect that she's in a relationship. She could be looking to replace the boyfriend, but until she does you should be cordial.

if she's in a relationship already then her intentions are, most likely, to be friendly. accept it if you're comfortable being her friend

Be casual. Treat her as you would a male friend.
Stop obsessing about it just because shes a woman.
People sense pressure and anxiety. Chill out.
