New acquaintance turned cold

[mowingfrankincensed]

I started a new gym class, which I always find a bit daunting, and there was another woman who had only been to the class once before. After the class she went out of her way to chat with me. I found her really friendly. She suggested I book in for another class she was going to try herself later in the week and we could do it together.

The next time I saw her she was in the changing room with another woman. I was happy to see her so I put my stuff down near them and started conversation. The woman was completely different, shut me off, was so cold. Her friend looked at me like I was Rose West!

This isn't the first time this has happened to me over the years. Has anyone else experienced this and thoughts on why?

No, people can be strange. My guess would be she's one of those people who are nice when they're alone with no one else to talk to, but drop you the minute someone better or they know comes along.

Sounds like she invited a friend along and wasn't expecting you there. But as pp said, some people act all pally when it's just them but it's because they're can't be alone. Then someone more suited to them comes along and they drop you. Because heaven forbid they continue to be social with people without an agenda
