    I'd honestly be very flattered if some guy was even congenial with me at the gym... Or if he smiled... Or if he didn't immediately avert his gaze when I walked past... Or acknowledged my presence as a living thing in the same room. Ha. I need to get laid. :tongue:

    I tried asking a girl out at the gym. All she did was abs and legs while I squated

    Some girl left a note on my car at the gym once. This was 15 years ago. I never forgot that. Very sweet. Never found out who she was. I moved far away shortly after that. I pictured her as fantastically hot, though. Lol

    Its flattering anytime a girl is forward enough to hit on you at the gym -- can be an intimidating place. I have had some great times with women from the gym. The shy ones start out by asking fora spot or some help - opens up conversation lines

    I work out at my apartment complex gym, so, there aren't too many people who are there when I'm there; however, I think its even more awkward if someone asks me out at Church. Used to happen all the time when I lived in L.A. smh.

    I find it creepy how guys just watch you so you can't really do your squats in peace.

    They don't stare because they want you, they stare because they all want to do curls in the squat rack. They are so jealous cuz they can't hog the squat rack for the next 30 minutes to pump them biceps!

    Never been asked, had the eyes, but nothing concrete to say I'm attracted to you.

    I say leave it to the spa area or cafe after the workout

    Could it be that your looks are too intimidating for most guys to hit on in the gym?

    I don't really get asked out anywhere so I figured the gym wouldn't be any different, though now I go to a gym that has different timings for men and women.

    Not sure, the only person that ever speaks to me at the gym is the 64 year old guy that asks if I ran far enough after cardio.. I've made it clear I don't want to sit on his porch and listen about how things used to cost a dime back in the day but he's persistent and I may cave if he offers homemade ice cream once more.

    I've never understood why people ask me out at the gym. Now as much as I'd love to find my swolemate and all.... I don't understand why guys don't try to get to know you or create some sort of friendship or familiarity before diving straight into ask for a date or number.
    Am I the only girl who thinks this?
    Guys, do girls ask you out at the gym too?

    The real world causes FEAR

    I cant grab my balls and just walk up to someone I find attractive and hit them up , just isn't in my personality ... Perhaps too self conscious? When I go to gym i train extremely hard and don't really have time to breath never mind talk to people

    " Oh hey just finished with the hamstring curls , um would you like to go on a date , i really find you attractive ... I like to party " cough .
