Need advice for a funny situation

[Gymgurl]

I am a personal trainer and work at a gym...well I know a ton of people and workout with men and women that i know for the heck of it. There is a member there that thinks I am having a fling with this guy that she is infatuated with. he does not like her and no we are only friends...have been for about 2 yrs. So I only know this though my friend that works with me. well this woman will not talk to me..makes rude comments when I walk in....and obviously has started some gossip going around.....so how should I handle this since I see her 3-4 a week in the gym...now remeber I work there so I can't just knock her out!

OMG!! Some people have no life at all!! (didn't know you worked at a gym -- kewl!)

If it wouldn't upset anyone in the gym or your hubby -- could you guys play at it to exaggerate her "thoughts" just to mess with her?? Hmmm, I don't know what I'd do.... Sue her for libel/slander?

I only work really part-time until my kids are all in school....It just pisses me off that you can't be friends with a guy without everyone thinking that your having sex....kinda like highschool all over and I had my share of that shit! lol.....maybe I will add to the rumor that I am pregnant with his baby lol....or my hubby and him share me......

yeah, really..... she's jealous.... but yeah, spread a wild rumor that no one else but her would believe....

That and a good bitch slap should do it!!

Unfortunately when men & women are friends there are all sorts of dynamics between the two primary people as well as a whole truckload of peripheral people.

Maybe you should get that lady a copy of the "He's Just Not Into You"...

Your friend should set her straight because if you do she'll just twist everything you say into something ugly.

I almost feel bad for people like her-- the type who have nothing going on in their lives so they create drama and stew about it. For that type of person, they'll probably dislike you nomatter what....but if he said something to her it would be harder for her to deny. If he told her that he didn't appreciate her spreading lies she would probably be horrified.

Do higher ups at the gym know what's going on? It might be good to clue them in so they don't get gossip going their way that makes you two look bad.

 

[Gymgurl]

No I don't think they have a clue since no one else has ever even thought twice about it..I worked yesterday and was with a member so she just avoided me...i think the best thing to do is maybe let someone know what is going on just in case...and avoid her unless things don't stop. You think once high school is over things would go away like this lol...but your right...she is jealous and has nothing better to do with her time...i am the type of person that i take it personally and wonder what I did wrong....

It sounds like this whole "relationship" is all in her mind. Probably the best thign to do is just casually make a comment that would state the nature of your relationship w/ this guy so at least she'll relax a little. She really needs to get out more often.
