Dear Abby: been regularly at- tending exercise classes that are with the membership at my gym.

I am not aware of anything I have done to provoke this. Should I ask her if there was some- thing I did to Should I say noth- ing and continue attending her classes? Or should I just join other classes that are at my gym? I occasionally see her participating in other exercise classes I attend, and sometimes we are in the gym working out at the same time.
