Yesterday evening my husband out the the blue landed a bomb on me due to his guilt. Now I'm not sure if I can believe his version of events as to me this doesn't sound normal.
So 2 weeks ish ago DH got a weeks free trial at a huge gym. I used to be a member there myself.
He said that on the first day he went there after his work out, him and his friend stayed for a drink at the juice bar on the way out of the gym. (I know they serve free drinks and it does get packed out) he said he was sat with his mate then his mate recognised someone he knew so went and sat at another table for 5 mins. Other people started joining him at his table.
This woman joined him and started making convocation and introduced herself and he told her his name.
A couple of days later he saw her again and they briefly spoke, and the next time he saw her they just smiled and waved at one another.
He free trial was then up and he never went back.
Last week he went out Xmas shopping, the shopping centre he was at was a couple of mins from the gym. Before heading home he had a quick ciggie and checked his phone. There was a text from "gym girl" saying she hadn't seen him lately. Anyway long story short after texting a couple of times she asked him to meet her in the pub round the corner (as it was a coincidence they were so close)
According to him nothing happened, it was a quick drink. She asked if he was single and he said he was happily married and wasn't quite sure what he was doing here with her. So he said sorry and left.
Now he has said he didn't find her attractive and she was about 8-10years younger than me. But they did have quite a bit in common.
Now here's the bit I can't get my head round, he never gave her his number. He had to sign into the gym every time so say a form left on reception that all non members sign and he had to put his number on. He swears this is how she got it.
My heads in a bit of a pickle at the mo as this is so strange. And apperntly gym girl now won't stop texting him.
So, do people really go to these lengths to hunt down people they like?
I'd love to hear your stories as this is kinda serial and I've never had anything like this happen to me.

DH made a confession - do men/women really go to these lengths to as out someone they fancy?

She is probably employed to by the gym to act interested in men on free trials until they become paying members 
Would his friend give out his number to some woman, knowing (as his friend obviously must) that he is happily married??

He said sorry and left? Sounds most unlikely, he could have (and should have) said that in a text.

I think she has set her cap at him, he has misread the situation badly, up to and including the drink in the bar and suddenly it hit him that her intentions were more than that of gym buddy.
I am a bit about this being the 4th time, does he not learn from past experiences??
I'd double check the work phone/own phone thing though...should he be using his work phone number for personal/gym stuff?
