I need to vent....

Crush update:

I asked her this morning, at the end of my session. It didn't go entirely how I hoped, but I feel it could have been worse. Got to the gym this morning, and we had another small catch up about the weekend and general chit chat. She mentioned once again how I have leaned up a lot, she mentioned it last week also and said you can see my veins coming out now, so I know she does pay attention. I then went on with my session, we talked some more halfway during my workout as she was cleaning up around the gym and had a good convo. I hit the showers, get changed to leave to work and on the way out we talk more for a few mins at the front desk.
I then asked her if she could do me a favour, and she said 'yes' with a nice big smile. I said 'I would like to take you out, can I please have your number?'. She had a pretty big smile, and seemed a little embarrassed...or flustered, and said something like "Ohhhhh, I would have loved to, and if you were to have asked me one and a half months ago, I would have, but I have just recently started seeing a guy. You should have asked me one and a half months ago".
I can't remember what I said, but I didn't say or do anything dumb, I handled it well with a smile, and it was cool. She then said "we can still go for a coffee sometime if you're interested", I said "sure" (but didn't ask for the number), we smiled and she said "see you on Wednesday".

Not the result I wanted, but could have been worse. I feel better now, though it just makes me want her more, lol. But my confidence hasn't taken a knock at all, and something I wouldn't have done 6+ months ago. But I don't feel the door has been completely shut yet. I don't think I have read things wrong.
