    A. With a smile like that who would not look at you.
    B. You could try falling off the treadmill and then he will run to you and see if you are ok.
    C. Muster up the courage to say hi hows your workout? You only live once. Take a chance. What we do in this life echoes in eternity!

    I'm just here to point out that if a guy made this post about a girl, it would be full of people telling OP to leave the girl alone, she's not there for romantic relationships, and that he's a creep.

    OP - Leave him alone. He's there to work out, not for a romantic relationship. It's kinda creepy.

    I thought the creepy one would have been the one staring at the worker outer :D

    That's my point. When a guy writes a post like this, it's "she wasn't staring at you. You're fabricating this story to give yourself an excuse to talk to her. Let it go. She's there to work out and doesn't need you harassing her. You're gross. Do you even lift?"

    that's because woman have feelings and men are just dicks with a body attached

    Duh
    i keep coming back hoping for an update from the OP like 'squee! we have a date friday!' disappoint

    Huh? What? This is so sexist. What kind of guys have you been dealing with?

    Anyway, women check out men as much as men check out women, they're just not as blatantly obvious about it. If you like a guy, you better make the first move if he doesn't or someone else might. A guy likes a confident women just as much as a woman likes a confident man.

    @wilsoncl6 OP has mentioned she has some type of social anxiety. To her, this isn't an issue of whether a man or woman should be making the first move, but more about her not making the first move because of her social anxiety.

    My recommendation is to get over your anxiety. Guys have to deal with anxiety on approaching a woman all of the time. You have to either get used to rejection or used to not getting what you want.

    However, the first part of my post was replying to the comment that men are just dicks with attached bodies. Not every guy thinks with what's between his legs.

    I'm surprised that "dick" didn't get censored into *kitten* as is the norm with most curse words on MFP.

    or a sporting goods store I suppose. Yeah, I guess that one really can't be censored efficiently.

    Long before the days of kittening everything, MFP would filter out swear words with asterisks. Dick definitely was not allowed, ever. A certain famous writer became Charles ****ens.

    I feel a little bad about the hijacking here,
    but I wonder if "dick" will get censored if we abuse it. I don't mean it THAT way. Just the word.

    Hey, if the OP wants to come back and give us an update, I'm all for the original topic! I'm curious and hopeful :)

    I hope they don't go back to sensoring it. Charles *kitten*ens is just disrespectful to a great author, and telling people to shop at *kitten*'s Sporting Goods for overpriced activewear might be a tad confusing for some.

    If he is interested enough he 'll let you know. It's not your job to make the first move so don't. Until he begins to chat with you and extends an invitation to have coffee, don't allow it to occupy your thoughts too much.

    Why can't or shouldn't the woman make the first move? It's 2016.

    Because it makes a 2016 gal look too eager, and consequently, she'll appear vulnerable or, ahem, a tad too easy. It will probably give him psychological leverage within the budding dynamics of their relationship - leverage she'd be wise to reserve for herself until she understands his character and his intentions.

    Meh, I knew this gal once who made the first move...we're married now for going on 11 years...16 years together total...so way back in 2000 this was fine.

    Srsly, what century do you live in?

    18 1/2 years married and I made the first move. 21 years together. So way back in 1995 this was fine.

    I made the first move in 1986. so I guess it was fine 30 yrs ago too and I was 18 and he was 23 . LOL

    My mother made the first move. They've been together since late 1989.
    Nothing wrong with women making the first move if they want to.

    I agree. So many women miss out on great relationships because they were taught that the man should make the first move. My mom taught me and my sister that. I didn't listen to my mom and I am happily married 28 yrs in August. My sister thinks if a man is a "real" man he will pursue her she is still alone at 45.

    This is one reason so many women end up with d-bags. Some of the nicest, most amazing men are the ones who are too shy to approach you.

    I prefer to call them assertive, or better yet, dominant.
