How to approach a girl at the gym?
Options
Hey everyone so the guys know what I'm talking about; you're in the zone working out, lifting, you look around and all of a sudden over by a squat rack, you see this smoking hot girl wearing these high tight gym shorts. You kind of stare but trying to be a creep about it and she stares back at you. This happens multiple times, kind of awkward lol, not speaking to each other just looking at one another. This happens over a few more days because you keep working out at the same time somehow haha. What's the next step?! I mean for some reason I can't find a scenario where I would talk to her, she knows what she's doing so no advice is needed without me being obvious haha. Plus I don't know if women want to be hit on while they're working out doesn't seem like an ideal setting!

If someone interrupts my workout to ask me out, I would be pissed!!! Now tape a protein bar and a note to my car for me to come out to.. I will gladly approach you next time! Hahaha0

She might just be looking at you because you're looking at her... I'm pretty sure that's the case with hot guys at my gym... They only look cause I'm creepily drooling and staring at them

The answer is don't. I had some guy try to ask me out while I was squatting and I couldn't have been more annoyed and turned off. Especially since at the time I was seeing someone, and told him so, and he continued.
Just no.
Wait til she's done working out and is at the juice bar or something, sheesh.0 -
Just talk to her, be yourself. Authenticity is just as attractive as muscle!0

My first instinct is to say no. Don't do it. However, if she's giving signals back chose a time between sets, introduce yourself and go for it. Just don't be a douche if she says no.0

Wait until she's done her workout.0

WAIT until she is done exercising. Than go over and say Hi my name is Seth. How are you today?0

My understanding is that while most women generally don't mind having an attractive guy walk up and talk to them, doing it in the gym is probably the least optimal situation. They're often in skimpy (workout) clothing, sweaty, not feeling exactly at their best. They're there to work out. They feel pretty exposed already. Not a great situation.
Better places - coffee shops, bars, grocery stores, college campuses, the list goes on. Lots of places to approach women and chat them up. Nothing works 100%, but there are better and worse situations for this kind of thing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, ladies.

100% agree...be yourself see something you like go after it or someone else will. Your not being urself if your following that whole "dnt talk to chicks at the gym rule" of course dnt interrupt her but if you guys go to the same gym ur guaranteed to run into her coming in or leaving the gym best time haha or you can try to catch her at the water fountain lol jk

Nope. I agree with this. I go to the gym and I go to work. I'm usually on a time budget, and I want to focus. Its one place I want to go to do me and not have someone trying to get at me.0 -
I will say this... If im working out and I'm looking at you and you're looking at me and all that gross *kitten*..... If you somehow make me laugh across the room I will take my headphones off and approach you. I guess it's about delivery!0
