    Just wait till he gets on the bench press and then straddle him... Problem solved

    This. Because guys don't take hints, and this would be exceptionally clear. :love:

    If he is interested you will know by the lack of earphones and maybe he will talk to you or nod and smile to acknowledge your existence. You can always ask if he minds you taking the machine next to his, this will give him an opportunity to speak to you if he wishes. If he looks embarrassed or completely ignores you then, no, he is not interested. Body language can give a lot away!!

    Unless they are really shy, most men will give you a hint that they are interested!! Good luck!

    ^ THIS.

    But seriously, he's probably just as shy as you

    You can tell he is an Alpha male...he is in great shape and extremely gorgeus, and he walks with a lot of confidence. I don't know maybe I am reading to much into it (yes I am on overthinker by nature).

    And if he's interested or not, it should also be pretty clear, and the OP can then move on with or without him.

    That post was maybe intended as a joke, but you know, I think it's probably the best idea posted here.

    Unless he has just unracked a heavy 2 rep max attempt, then you might end up killing him. He who dares wins though.

    This sounds stalker-y. Be careful - if he is not interested, it could make for very uncomfortable times at the gym in the future...

    Wait a minute. There are a lot of options between awkward hellos and straddling him. Doesn't anyone ask for a phone number anymore?[/quote]

    to OP:

    As a guy going to the gym - I have the mentality of "never ask a girl out at the gym". We are told (by girls) that they don't want to be hit on or bothered. That the gym is "me time" for them.

    Hence - don't fault him for not asking more. The same way he cannot fault you for not asking him out. It's not the social protocol.

    If you like him and want him to know (while being at the gym) - you'll have to let him know that you enjoy chatting and aren't bothered by it.

    The next time you go to the gym if he comes up and asks to work in a set or whatever do this:

    Pull your earbuds out and smile at him. Then say "Of course you can. By the way my name is xxxxx. I figured since we see each other here all the time and are often using the same equipment that we should at least be on a first name basis." Then perhaps you can start with small talk from there, or at the least a "See you tomorrow!" Kind of friendly thing.

    ETA: I get that you're shy but even if you just introduce yourself it's a start.

    The funny thing is, if a guy posted this about a girl, he'd be a creep.
  • Ok girly... I want you to walk up to him and gently but confidently grab his junk. Smile and make eye contact while doing so. He will either pull you into the sauna for some fun or run like hell. Either way, you got to touch him. Lmao!

    OP...you aren't making it clear enough. LOL. Like some have said, actually introduce yourself that moves things beyond mere pleasantries. Straddle him if he doesn't get the hint after that though. All good advice.

    The girl I said hi to at the gym, obviously.

    Been there dude, been there. It's easier to say hello on the beach (with us looking all ugly shirtless)

    Or he calls the police. Sexual assault is risky.

    hahaha!! I was curious so I checked out the site but noooo not for me....I really like this guy

    /dear diary.


    anyway, sounds like he is just in the zone when he works out and doesn't have time for chatter. Some days I don't really want to talk to people in the gym, probably why he keeps his headphones in.

    Try to talk to him on the way out or outside, of when he has finished. If all else fails just write your number on a piece of paper and give it to him.

    Wait for him outside?? I think that would be consider creepy. Writing my number down on a paper and hand it to him hmmm... not a bad idea. It's not like I am going to embarrassed myself I probably already did when I approached him.
