How to approach a girl at the gym?
Hey everyone so the guys know what I'm talking about; you're in the zone working out, lifting, you look around and all of a sudden over by a squat rack, you see this smoking hot girl wearing these high tight gym shorts. You kind of stare but trying to be a creep about it and she stares back at you. This happens multiple times, kind of awkward lol, not speaking to each other just looking at one another. This happens over a few more days because you keep working out at the same time somehow haha. What's the next step?! I mean for some reason I can't find a scenario where I would talk to her, she knows what she's doing so no advice is needed without me being obvious haha. Plus I don't know if women want to be hit on while they're working out doesn't seem like an ideal setting!

If someone interrupts my workout to ask me out, I would be pissed!!! Now tape a protein bar and a note to my car for me to come out to.. I will gladly approach you next time! Hahaha0

She might just be looking at you because you're looking at her... I'm pretty sure that's the case with hot guys at my gym... They only look cause I'm creepily drooling and staring at them

i understand the whole talking to women at gym makes u feel like a creep but dude if u really think there is chemistry just go talk to her be honest, dont pass up on what could be a special woman bc of gym rules lol Id holla at a woman at a gym b4 i would a bar thats for sure0

The answer is don't. I had some guy try to ask me out while I was squatting and I couldn't have been more annoyed and turned off. Especially since at the time I was seeing someone, and told him so, and he continued.
Just no.
Wait til she's done working out and is at the juice bar or something, sheesh.0 -
Just talk to her, be yourself. Authenticity is just as attractive as muscle!0

My first instinct is to say no. Don't do it. However, if she's giving signals back chose a time between sets, introduce yourself and go for it. Just don't be a douche if she says no.0

My understanding is that while most women generally don't mind having an attractive guy walk up and talk to them, doing it in the gym is probably the least optimal situation. They're often in skimpy (workout) clothing, sweaty, not feeling exactly at their best. They're there to work out. They feel pretty exposed already. Not a great situation.
Better places - coffee shops, bars, grocery stores, college campuses, the list goes on. Lots of places to approach women and chat them up. Nothing works 100%, but there are better and worse situations for this kind of thing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, ladies.

100% agree...be yourself see something you like go after it or someone else will. Your not being urself if your following that whole "dnt talk to chicks at the gym rule" of course dnt interrupt her but if you guys go to the same gym ur guaranteed to run into her coming in or leaving the gym best time haha or you can try to catch her at the water fountain lol jk

Nope. I agree with this. I go to the gym and I go to work. I'm usually on a time budget, and I want to focus. Its one place I want to go to do me and not have someone trying to get at me.0 -

I will say this... If im working out and I'm looking at you and you're looking at me and all that gross *kitten*..... If you somehow make me laugh across the room I will take my headphones off and approach you. I guess it's about delivery!0

I'm sorry, I was taken off guard by the overwhelming scent of Drakar Noir, the rythmic sounds of very loud grunting and the blinding sight of muscles being flexed.

Just go talk to her when she is resting...
If she gets upset over something like that, would you really want her? I know I wouldn't.0 -
I still think there could be an opportunity to at least say hi and introduce himself at the gym when she's not working out.

yeah sometimes you just got to plant the seed say hello let her know you notice her and thats it then catch her later

Right, but if you only see this woman at the gym, that's the only time to talk to her. Surely you wouldn't want him stalking her to see where she goes after the gym just to find a more optimal place to intruduce himself.
I agree with TSith about taping a note to a protein bar and dropping it in her bag or somewhere near her that she'll find it for a later read. 0 -
I've had people interrupt me in the middle of sets. It's the only way to get on my bad side at the gym. Finish early, hang out at the front desk and catch her on the way out/in if you are going to do anything. That said, if you like your gym, don't date people that go there. When things go sour it will ruin your motivation to go if the other person is still going there. :drinker:0

Have you tried smiling at her during the workout? Does she smile back, or immediately look elsewhere? If she smiles back, approach her when she's done. If it's clear that she's trying to avoid you, well, you have your answer.
I've been married for over 10 years, so I've been out of the game for a long time. But I think it's hard for people to meet, and there shouldn't be too many rules about where you can talk to a girl. You never know. If you do approach her, keep it simple...introduce yourself. If you can see she's receptive, great. If she's hustling to get out of there, she's not interested.0 -

This is actually kind of cute, and I *might* get a chuckle out of it, personally. However, don't get all incensed if she doesn't return the interest, no one owes anyone their attention.0 -

I just hope no other fine feathered bird catches my mating ritual dance and starts pecking at you to get away.
Oh I will throw down and cut someone!! LOL!
