Gym Chicks...

What are your thoughts on protocol in approaching a woman at the gym - for a potential out of gym meet-up. i.e. someone who you've lightly chatted with before - so not 100% out of the blue. Thoughts ladies?

Go for it... just not while she's running on a treadmill... we don't like to be talked to when we can't breathe

I had someone approach me at the gym once, and it was a little weird. I was extremely flattered, but since I'd never even seen (much less spoken to) this guy before, I didn't meet up with him outside the gym when he asked. With a bit of conversation leading up to it, I don't see anything wrong with that!
Oh yeah, I also have a boyfriend too. Forgot about that part :P0 -
Don't be that creepy guy that gets on the machine next to a chick... the one that we can feel their eyes burning a hole through our body...
Not stalking and creeping and you're fine LOL0 -
Well. If you guys have chatted before and the interest seems to be there - then I say GO FOR IT! LOL.
But, either do it before she works out or after -- not during. lol. We don't like to be bothered when we're working out.
Good Luck. 0 -
"Hi, my name is George, how are you? I know this is weird but would you like to go out some time?"
No weird pick up lines. Just a direct and friendly. I think it's perfectly acceptable.0 -

If you regularly chat that's easier, just say "hey, have you tried xyz? Would you like to give it a try." or how about "What are you doint Friday night? You wanna go out?"0 -

Hahaha...ya, I second that!0 -
If someone's receptive to small talk, why not?0

Just whatever you do, DON'T mess up her routine. You won't stand a chance in hell if you do!

Always feel SO attractive when I sound like a wounded rhino... breathing super heavy and sweating...Go for it... just not while she's running on a treadmill... we don't like to be talked to when we can't breathe0

Or, "look deep into my abs . . . you're getting sleepy . . . you will go out on a date with me Friday night . . . "0 -
Personally I hate it, but nobody has ever approached me in a non creepy way.
Man watching me do assisted pull ups. I finish, get down. He says
"I just have to tell you that you are just beautiful to watch"
:O0 -
I hate being approached while im working out. The gym is for getting sweaty not for getting sweet lol. But I guess at the end of my workout or while im stretching I wouldnt mind it.0
-
I would prefer to be approached as I am leaving....for the most part I'm there to get it in and then go home :flowerforyou:0

when i'm at the gym i'm wearing my rattiest shorts, no makeup, an oversized oscar the grouch t shirt or something similar, and NOTHiNG matches, not to mention i am slick with sweat and reek of eau de stank.
if someone were to approach me in the gym i would likely punch them in the face.0 -
Just ask if she wants to go have a coffee or something 0
-
yeah.. do it up...0

20 years ago it was easy.
Now everyone has headphones on and a TV in front of them.0 -
I know you're a foodie. Turn the convo to food and casually ask if she wants to go try that ..... place. If she doesn't eat interesting food, then you won't have to waste your time. Two birds with one stone.0

I would feel totally flattered looking like I do all sweaty nasty no make up hair a mess! Just dont interupt me while I am in the zone!when i'm at the gym i'm wearing my rattiest shorts, no makeup, an oversized oscar the grouch t shirt or something similar, and NOTHiNG matches, not to mention i am slick with sweat and reek of eau de stank.

I have a certain face I put on at the gym I call it my "b*tch face" nobody bugs me!0

OMG! I can't stop laughing!!! LOL!
But, I agree with most of the comments . . . go for it - as long as it's before/after the workout. And don't be the creepy guy. Think casual not stalker.0 -

Good call. I'm far from shy. So, how to do it isn't the issue. Just wondering about the general thoughts of being at the gym - where it's a bit of a sanctuary, and have some pervy guy ask you out! I just know I protect my gym time, and get frustrated by every little interruption, and she's pretty intense, too. Bad news is that when I'm town, we always work out at the same time - so bad night out = awkward workout the next day! Good news is that I'm not the creepy type!0 -

Or, you could take it as a compliment. If a guy sees you at your worst and still wants to ask you out, I'd say he's a keeper!0 -
Wow, glad I never asked out a girl at the gym from some of these responses. Guess that might be because when I was single at at gym most women looked totally pissed off to be there, and you might have a killer body, but if I don't see nice in the face I am not going no where near you! :happy:0

That is the said "b*tch face" a defense mechanism so that we don't get messed with.0 -

lol, im with some of the others on here, I know we are all there for the same reason but sometimes it is hard to concentrate when you have a hot, sweaty, bulging man right next to you, espically when your nasty and sweaty your self... just sayin...0
