HELP ME OUT WITH MY GYM CRUSH!
Alright guys last September, I joined a gym close to my house and I have been going there for the past year, almost every day. At first, I had absolutely no motivation to workout or start living a healthy life. I had this big pouch of a belly and big thunder thighs - who wouldn't be discouraged by that?
That didn't last very long though. During December, I started noticing this really cute "alpha male" around my gym who usually came the same time I did. This may seem really cheesy and stupid, but he was my inspiration to get my *kitten* to the gym everyday, and I'm ashamed to say, he still is the reason why I go to the gym so often.
I have lost close to 40 lbs within this time frame and the regular gym-goers have come up to me, congratulated me, and have befriended me the past few months. He however just works out in close proximity of where I am working out and the temptation is real! ugh! When ever I am working out with my headphones in, he talks to everyone around me -whether it be old or young- he talks to them and he is often really loud and obvious. Like I could literally hear him through the blasting music in my headphones.
I made a promise to my self that before this year ends (or by the end of January) , I would like to talk to him or perhaps even just find out his name. Can anyone give me tips and or moral support and advice on how to go about this?

Since you two recognize each other, a simple "Hello, happy new year" will work. (or Happy almost New Year, if it's before Jan1)
Take the chance, be bold.:) Good luck!:)0 -

I know how daunting it can be especially with people going 'oh just say hi' yeah not as easy as that! Especially if your gym is constructed in a way that makes it hard for you to talk to that person, like mine as it's a health club.
What I did...I asked mine for fitness advice via email lol as I saw him in person so many times and he knew my progress, purposely trained near me and one night went to talk to me and I literally bolted out of there scared as ahaha...so I sent him an email re training with a friend (not completely incorrect as I wanted to know some info) and now he is asking what I am doing for new years
If I were you I would ask him for some fitness advice, he will appreciate that you approached him; forget about all the semantics of who should approach who
mine took a good 6 months haha and now he follows me on instagram etc

Take out your headphones? If he literally chats to everyone there I imagine he'd strike up a conversation with you too.. Given the opportunity.0

It's kinda awkward if after a whole year you have put each other in the category of don't talk to. It's kind of like being friend zoned but in the no talking to zone.
I'm going with happy new years "Hi" as the best idea. If possible reek of alcohol so if he acts all "what the heck? we don't talk...why u talking to me" you can blame it on the alcohol. a a a a alcohol.

He's hot but loud and obnoxious and you still want to go out with him? Wasn't sure if I read that right.
As others have said, a hello would be good. From there it just depends on the both of you.0 -

That's how I read it to. But OP is 19, so what can you expect?
Make sure you ask him while he's in the middle of a set.0 -

This is just so crazy, it might just work! lol Just got to put yourself out there sometimes. Us guys can be totally oblivious to so many things, its unreal. Good luck! 0 -

"Hello, loud gym-goer. I recognize your alphaness and would like to buy you a big tall glass of protein shake once we're done here.

I say a simple shy smile to show him you're interested. But I probably wouldn't approach him. 60% of the time, it works everytime.0

If she does it right he'll be the one to give her the protein shake.0 -

So...... You like loud and obnoxious?
Most people don't like that so maybe you have a shot.0 -
A subtle biting of the lip as you lock eyes with his as you walk away will def get his attention. Talking is overrated lol0

Ask him, "does this towel smell like chloroform?" He literally won't be able to resist your advances. 0

I'd suggest not being slutty with someone you don't know at the gym. That comes later.0 -
