To think he's giving me mixed messages?

So I have a crush on my fitness instructor Blush
For the last year it's been a back and forth of me thinking, oh I feel like it's reciprocated! then, wait nope! Hmm
Just going to risk sounding like a totally ridiculous human here and put it down to get thoughts/opinions as I'm undecided if I'm just reading into general friendliness or he is into me. It's harder to tell than it should be!
So he messages me a fair bit, always starts off about classes but then goes into more personal chat. He's asked me about my situation, my son's father etc, talks about his divorce and we have had 2 hours back and forth text conversations.
Sounds ridiculous, but he likes all my social media posts!
The other evening, he text me and asked if our kids could have a playdate. I say yes sure, that would be fun but then it just fizzled out.
It's like he almost goes there, then gets spooked and runs away. He's either flakey, nervous about asking incase it gets awkward (been going to his classes years) or he's just being generally friendly and not into me at all. In person he's strictly professional and treats me the same as anyone else in class,but I'm pretty sure he doesn't text everyone who goes and say hope you enjoyed it?
After a year of this I'm getting frustrated and confused.. Probably delusional so please feel free to be totally honest Blush
Sorry for the first works utter tosh

Sounds like he wants more to me. After a year of this couldn’t you just ask him?! Say “tell me if this is completely inappropriate but would you like to go on a date?” And he’ll either say yes or no. If it’s a no get a new PT Grin

Start with sorting the play date. Plan something the kids can do while you chat! See where it goes!

What are you waiting for? When he suggested a playdate you could have named the time and place. Or as PP said you could just ask him on a date. It's a positive even if he says no because the you can draw a line under it and think about dating other people. You seem to have spent a whole year wondering about whether he's interested, find out and move on if he's not.

Did anything come of this situation lol

Op, he's keeping you as an option.

Don't be anyone's option.

Find another PT.
