It happened yesterday and I’m still cringing at what I did. There’s this guy at my gym I’ve been lowkey crushing on for months. We’ve exchanged smiles and spotted each other a few times, but I’ve been too nervous to actually make a move.

Yesterday he came over during my cooldown and we started chatting about our routines. The conversation was going really well. Then he said “Hey, would you want to grab coffee sometime? Can I get your number?” I completely panicked like full on panic. My heart started racing. I’ve been imagining this moment for months but when it actually happened, I just froze up. I started stammering out what I thought was my phone number but I was so flustered that I mixed up the digits. He smiled and said he’d text me later and then he walked away. I stood there for a minute trying to process what just happened, then realized I’d given him a completely wrong number. I panicked so hard that I basically sabotaged myself.

Now I don’t know if I should approach him again and explain what happened or just pretend it never happened. He probably thinks I wasn’t interested and gave him a fake number on purpose. How do I fix this without looking like a pos?

TL;DR: gave my crush the wrong number at the gym
