    So I'm a single woman . . . and lots of women are here are saying they don't want to be approached at the gym because, well, they're busy and here for a reason buuuuuut can I just say something . . . . and please don't shoot me for this

    We live in a world where women complain men don't show interest, but when they do show interest we're saying it's creepy? Sure, I get the gym isn't like the ideal spot for a guy to show he wants to get to know, but he is saying he wants to get to know you. Provided, he isn't saying this to every girl he comes across, I would take it as a compliment. He might not be the world's greatest guy, he might only be good for one cup of coffee but he's taking a chance. If you're not single, I get it and you have to find a nice way to say, thanks but I'm not single. It takes a lot of guts to show interest in today's dating world . .. but we're saying show interest, just only at these times? Jeeeez

    You're my vote for woman of the year. At least MFP woman of the year.

    If she isn't making weird awkward eye contact or smiling at you or anything just steer clear.

    OR You can ask her to spot you

    Damn, dont do that, women are better spotters and then you'll add this "are you flirting with me like Captain Fantastic" element to when I ask :P

    15 minutes are good then?



    ... asking for a friend.

    I'd say you're safe with 5-7 mins tops

    Cool.

    I'll go with seven !

    As long as you don’t talk to me in the middle of my workout I don’t mind tbh
    I’ll be polite to whoever tries to chat with me for the most part
    Just be respectful and chill

    I genuinely feel sorry for single men. There's so many social situations they're expected to navigate and they feel like they're wrong no matter what they do.

    Why limit it to single men?

    The advice for men in a relationship - "When you wake up in the morning, apologize. What for? Who knows, but you HAVE done something wrong."

    What about asking if you can "jump in" between sets?

    So many great relationships have started with a woman asking "what the hell are YOU looking at?"
