    keep on laying the hints and he'll be unsure. Just cause you talked to him doesn't mean he knows as he may get this type of thing all the time. Guys will know you're interested if you make it really obvious but not in a weird way...yes its tough but do it lol

    Already Friday here, off to work now but I hope to be able to sit down with a glass of wine tonight and read the next instalment of "gym crush musical"....

    Good luck OP, please wear your prettiest spandex and do your hair all nice before you go. Don't lift anything too heavy, wouldn't want to break a sweat and get all red in the face. Oh, and leave one of your earphones out for a little signal...

    I don't ware make up to the gym, my hair is either on a bun or pony tail, and I do lift. I feel that if I change how he is use to seeing me I would come of as desperate.

    what you guys think? ??

    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.

    I think this is a pretty good idea. It's friendly and invites conversation, but isn't aggressive. Good luck OP! I'll be checking back here to see what happens :smile:

    I wasn't serious about the spandex etc.
    Just do what you do and be natural. Take a real life friend with you and get their take on it.
    If it fails, join RSVP or something, go speed dating. He's just one guy. There are a few more out there. Even some nice ones.

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

    Exactly!!!!

    Haha You guys are so funny! She can't spot him if she's straddling him! LOL All she could do from that position would be...oh...O.O! oh my.....my....my..mmmm

    my thoughts: Just say hi, go over, say, so what's your name, introduce yourself. remember to breathe.

    I love it when a girl introduces herself. shows confidence. she's just being friendly. not like we are getting hitched later.. become acquainted. Then he knows its ok to approach you and he knows your name (some of us guys don't want to be that annoying 'he hit on me" guy)

    most of the guys I know prefer that he approach the lady himself. at least the Arkansas men do. they get caught off guard by a lady approaching. sometimes when guys are working out in the gym they are focused on that and don't expect a lady to approach them.
    guys are very unpredictable it is hard to know what signals mean they like you. I just let a guy approach me its his job to lead.

    I wanna know what's happened!!!

    I had a gym crush when I was in Utah, overheard him saying he would never date a girl if she hadn't watched all episodes of Star Wars. Then he and his friend discussed whether that meant episodes 4-6 or included 1-3 (didn't find out the conclusion, I moved on to different equipment). After hearing that I was smitten. But did nothing. I wish I had, if not for anything other than fun.

    I have a gym crush, rather I am someone's gym crush. He's a trainer and he is cute. Way younger to me and very direct about his admiration. Looks straight at me, wherever I am working out and stands there with a big smile. I catch him looking at me many times, way too many times. I think I picked up on this some 6 months ago and he carries on (relentlessly). Its adorable and a bit much all at the same time. He knows I work out with my husband. My husband has picked on it and so have some of his buddies but it doesnt seem to affect him. Its amusing. I am flattered - he is cute, young, very fit, chatty, popular and looks like a real nice guy. I am a married, older woman, who isnt the best 'anything' in the gym... there are so many other women/girls who dress better, are fitter, nicer looking and I look very ordinary in comparison. I am surprised he zeroes in on me the way he does, in no subtle way. Although its not intrusive, it is distracting.
    I am not interested in him - I am married and happy and not looking for anything. He sees my lack of interest and when I don't respond to his smiles, gets disappointed, I can see that. I feel sorry for him. He can do so much better. It will be wrong of me to lead him on. I am told most men look for their moms in the woman they like (I may resemble his mom). Psychologically it is a strong pull if that is the case. But let me not psycho analyze him.
    I wish him well and hope he finds what he is looking for. (thank God I am older and wiser and my knees don't weaken easily anymore).

    Hmmm...sounds like he is attracted to you or at the very least admires the way you workout. But you having tried to strike up conversation without success seems like maybe he is taken. My suggestion, for what it's worth, take it slow and try for friendship just at the gym for starters. Maybe try to leave at the same time and strike up conversation on the way out...Good luck

    So I was at the gym today....he saw me I saw him then as I was walking by he immediatly took off his earbuds and I took off mine. He introduced himself immediatly and so did I we talked for a bit, and then I said I see you around. We were both working on back today so we worked out pretty much together. As I was putting up my dumbells he said, "your are leaving already?" I said, yes. I gave him my number, he send me a text later and then we had a late lunch. He said he is normally shy and that he felt bad because last week he didn't introduce himself. :tongue:
