Getting a date at the gym

in Chit-Chat
So there's a ton of hotties that go to my gym. Problem is they usually always always listening to their MP3 player and I'm always afriaid they're taken by one of the guys in the corner bench pressing 350 lbs who's obviously on steriods and will get pissed off easily. What are some ways to approach girls which aren't creepy or something the possible body builder boyfriend will rip my head off for?

    Bring an extra bottle of water and offer it to her, ask her to spot you, smile at her and stay hello when you are passing by, be genuine and sweet and she'll notice you too. If you frequent the gym a lot and so does she, you'll get to know her. Just pick a girl you like and try not to mack on the whole gym. A girl wants to feel special, not that she just said yes first. Be patient, and be you. She'll notice! :)

    first things first if he is only benching 350 he is a clown and dont worry about him,.. second.. why does it have to be about steroids because some one is bigger than you.. what ever.. bull**** excuse you have..


    girls in the gym.. its not hard pick wisely.. you can tell the ones that are there to work out and the ones that are there to pick up dudes.. the ones there to work out will be sweaty hair a mess hardley any make up left if she has any at all.. DO NOT TALK TO THIS GIRL..

    find the one pissing around all dolled up in the latest fashin hair done make up all right.. and just be yourself and talk weights at first.. because your in the gymm.. and just follow suit.. ther eis no magical line that will work everytime for every girl.. they are different ya know..

    I think it's okay to express your interest in a girl that's there to work out and not just look pretty. Smile when you come and go. She'll notice and probably be flattered. Then, if she takes the ear buds out, you'll know you have an open door! Compliment her on something specific. Like eyes or smile. Not just a "you look great" in general. It shows your paying attention and not creepy :) Good luck!

    I really can't get a date no matter where I go so I can't give much advice on this one.

    Anyway, don't ever go anywhere to meet girls. Just act in ways where they come to you. How?
    Have fun, and be seen having fun.
    Relax.
    And like magic, there she is!

    I go to work out hard and focus but I don't' think i'd ever give someone an attitude or be anything less than polite to them if they tried to talk to me, maybe that's just me though?

    speaking personally, have no interest in meeting up with guys at the gym. How awkward if things go south.

    That dude about sounds like a ****, but he's totally right. You can absolutely discern between the girls that are looking to getting hit on at the gym and the ones that are not.

    I say leave the gals at the gym alone.. unless you are in both in the juice bar or the lounge area.

    I hate when guys come up to me and try to hit on me.

    I'm hot, sweaty, tired and out of breath.. last thing that I want is you hitting on me and trying to strike up a conversation.. hence why I have my samsung galaxy and headphones in.

    Now if it was before my workout when I was warming up, that would be a different story.. but if I'm in the middle of my workout, then leave me alone until later..unless you want a medicine ball to the face.

    then your not there to kick *kitten*.. i will piss anyone off and i dont care.. there is onyl one reason to go to the gym and that is to bust your *kitten*.. if you got some much free time to be talking and hitting on guys/girls go to a fitness center and take some group classes.. When i lift no one talks to me.. not one word and i will not say one word to anyone else.. i am there for me.. and that is it.. i will be the best that i can be.. you dont know why someone is in there or what there attitude is.. so why bother them..

    Consider the fact that a lot of women go to the gym straight from work, so the make-up thing isn't really a good indication of whether or not they are trying to pick up a guy. And just because a girl doesn't have make-up on doesn't mean she's not looking for a man, it might just mean she has sensitive skin and it irritates her to wear make-up when she works out. So don't let that be so much of a factor in the women you approach.

    A lot of women like to classes, so if you aren't afraid to join in with them that's an easier way to make a introduction. You can't really wear an mp3 player in the class so it will be much easier to talk to them. After the class just approach and say, "hey what did you think of all those lunges! pretty killer huh..." or something like that. Most women like a guy with a sense of humor, so if you aren't afraid to act a little silly in a zumba class, a women may even approach you!

    :laugh: I'm one of those girls who hates when people talk to me while I'm trying to work out. But most will be fine with just a nice compliment or conversation I'm sure. I found my bf in the gym by asking the guy to help me with something. In my opinion, as long as the guy strikes up a conversation when I am done or not on my rest periods between sets then I'm fine with it. I'd much rather a guy in the gym ask me on a date rather than someone who isn't int to working out after all. You shouldn't come off creepy unless they notice you staring a lot.

    Some guy at the gym grabbed my boob last week. He was woozy getting off the elliptical so I gave him a pass. You could try that.

    I'm the opposite. I like getting hit on. All the time.

    Please don't hit on anyone at the gym unless you know she actually wants you to.

    Personally, the gym is my sanctuary...it's one of the only places I go and don't have to be "on", wear makeup, dress cute, or impress anyone. I think a lot of women feel that way. I appreciate a smile or chit chat here and there, but most of the time I'm there to sweat, and that's it!

    Ask her to spot you. When she says she doesn't lift tell here "It's just a spot don't be scared you can do it" bishes love a challenge! After her excitement is over from spotting you she'll be like "omg I've never done that before." Then tell her " I bet I know some other things you haven't done yet that you'll do with me"

    That's when you introduce her to football! Women like being led you gotta take the reigns.

    I've never been flirted with at the gym. Either I am terribly unattractive, or it's not as common as people think. I'm hoping for the latter. :sad:

    I imagine that making eye contact and choosing the machine next to a girl would be enough for her to notice you. If you smile at her, and she smiles back and doesn't have ear-buds in, say "hi". That should at least give you an idea if she's interested or not.

    exactly what she said. ^ She may be married! Just because you don't see a ring means nothing. I never wear mine don't want to lose it very unique (it is made on LOTO style, but is inscribed in High Elvish and matches my hubby's). It can't be replaced. Besides too busy working out to have to worry about loosing it.

    Stare at her until you have her attention.

    When she passes by, give her a friendly sports tap on the *kitten* and praise her for her hard work, regardless of what she just did or where she came from.

    Blatantly ask if she's with one of the hormonally enhanced guys lifting weights.

    Cut her off in the middle of her sentence and tell her it doesn't matter. You're there for her.

    Tell her you don't need to know her name and that you just want a taste of what she has to offer.

    Ask if you can lift the weights off her rack.

    And always follow sentences with, "If you know what I mean."

    find the one pissing around all dolled up in the latest fashin hair done make up all right.. and just be yourself and talk weights at first.. because your in the gymm.. and just follow suit.. ther eis no magical line that will work everytime for every girl.. they are different ya know..

    That is crap...I could be that girl, and I would happily grab that water bottle, or love to spot a cool guy....

    You are certainly right that we dont know what peoples attitude are. For my part I cant never be too grumpy to deny a chat with a human been. But I will probably wont and have never started a chat out of the no where with someone lifting. Imagine if it turns out to be someone like you!!! Haha.

    BTW....Are you seriously questioning my effort at the gym? My hrm feed back is 900-1200 cal for my 70-90 min at the gym. And if my shirt is not sweaty I feel like failure! And I have never seen any girl there chest pressing a pair of 25lb dumbbells (which could be ridiculous for you, but I have been doing it just for me...) :p
