Women @ The Gym.

[Siafu4Life]

Alright, this thread is probably going to come off a little on the juvenile side...but I'm seriously looking for answers. There is an attractive woman at my gym, who hits the weights...hard. You can tell she's there to get her routine done, spend some time afterwards doing cardio...and get out. She wears headphones, and is not a "gym social-butterfly". I don't want to interrupt her routine, but I'd like to approach her. Looking for any thoughts, and/or suggestions. If you've been successful (or haven't been)...in pursuing someone at the gym...let me know. Approach her, or just let her be? Thanks in advance!

Inb4"Grow-a-set."
Inb4"Are we back in Junior High?"
Inb4"Stop being a pu**y."

tell her you've had a crush on her for years.

LOL...I just noticed her last week.

How could I intentionally "accidentally" throw a dumbbell at her?

[Spanishdream]

Bite the bullet and talk to her. If she says no, at least you have your answer. If she says, you're in there.

The more you think about it, the less likely you are to actually do it in my opinion. (Speaking from personal experience).

Ya, true that. Kind of what I was thinking. Just didn't know if it was a gym-taboo, or what. I'll likely talk to her the next time I see her.

Make an eye contact, smile.. Then continue doing w/e you're doin - next time you in the gym: grab your balls to your hand and approach her (when she's on a break between sets). ABC - approach from the front ..... Start your lines with o-hello,seen you here before... i am impressed by your weight routine,can you give me tips on .... w/e.. (s)exercise,diet..
And then you're good to go for homerun

Bitches are usually scarred off by my intensity

Wait for her in the parking lot, follow her home, wait outside her house until the next morning, and approach her then.

Appreciate the advice...sounds good. Most of it, at least.

^Best advice so far!

[Spanishdream]

Women love to be approached, shows confidence.

Good luck man.

ITT: putting p**** up on the pedestal.

Just talk to her, bro.

Appreciate that!

Many don't want to be bothered at the gym. They are sweaty, in workout clothes, and would prefer you let them be.

Haha...seems to be the general consensus. Thanks!

Women love that. They say the don't, but they do...

Let us know how it goes! GL

Ya...I was thinking that same thing. Although, the flip-side of the coin was...If I see her sweaty, in workout clothes, and still find her attractive...that's gotta count for something. She might find it flattering. I had seriously thought about that, though. Which is why I posted. Appreciate the input.

Oh, I have no doubts. What's not to love about that?

Will do...thanks!

Well regardless of what she wants...you either have to talk to her or cross your fingers and hope you run into her elsewhere, which is unlikely. Hopefully she doesn't mind.

[ZMan45]

Compliment her, ask her about her routine, ask her how long she's been working out. You know...blah blah small talk stuff.

[snorkelman]

Tell ya what, snap a picture of her for us to see, and when she sees you do that, just explain that you started this thread on bb.com seeking opinions about how to approach her, and this piece of advice sounded the least offensive.


of course, then upload the pic before the police take your camera.

Ya, very unlikely. Probably just end up crossing my fingers, and hoping she don't mind.

Good tips, thanks!

Similar to a post before. Make Eye contact and smile and then go on with your routine. When she is DONE with her work out approach her.

Mention you didn't want to interrupt her workout before and just wanted to say hi now or something along those lines. Introduce yourself and play it by ear from there.

I LOL'd, seriously!

More sound advice. Thanks, I appreciate it.

OP if talking to her outright makes you nervous due to ko300zx's advice, then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mere_exposure_effect

Just make very small advances over the course of a week or a couple weeks - just eye contact, smiling, etc. Similar to what others have said.

I'm getting psychological up in here.

[illiniStrive]

My boyfriend and I met at the gym.

I started asking him for bench spots and form checks.

I figure if she's interested/attracted she'll let you know.

I'm sorry, but I have to do the obligatory...
