Asking out the girl in the gym

edited August 2008 in General
Hey guys,

The problem i'm having is that there's this girl I always see in the gym. We've checked each other out a few times and she smiles at me whenever I see her. I want to approach her and ask her out but this is kinda hard in the gym.

Any suggestions?

    "how's my ass look when I'm doing these deadlifts, yours always looks good"

    "Well that was a tough work out, let's hit the showers"

    If you're sure she's checking you out and smiling back at you, chances are she's waiting for you to say hi. Next time you catch her eye just say hi... you've got nothing to lose... if she says hi back you can start a conversation, if not, then it's no big deal. lol it probably means it was all in your head in the first place.

    Here is what you do:

    "hey, whats a woman like you doing here?"
    "what do you mean?"
    "Why aren't you cooking or cleaning!"

    Isn't this what someone who has a major philia for the Chinese langage and frequently expresses his love through the said lanugage did? You ended up calling him "creepy."

    SO EASY MANG.

    just when you see her doing an exercise, just ask if you can work in on the machine with her, then wham bam thank you ma'am. you got your conversation starter.

    just don't pick some woman exercise like the inner/outer thigh machine lol.

    I'm pretty sure I didn't smile back at him, in fact I probably gave him a weird look, so I hope whoever it was didn't take it that I was hinting any mutual attraction.

    On the other hand, if the girl the OP is talking about is smiling every time they meet and checking him out like he said (and it's not just in his imagination), she's probably interested. In that case, I don't see why it would be creepy if he said hi.

    Prepare an opener - something funny maybe..

    "Those weights look awfully heavy for you, are you sure you can handle it?"

    this will spark a conversation.

    Don't say "I'll spot you" allow her to suggest it.

    -

    Smile, look straight in the eyes as you're talking obviously - make her feel you're confident as opposed to insecure. Be funny.. tell a funny story.. grab her attention.. but at the same time make it so that she needs/wants you.. not that you want/need her... ie: act disinterested (not indifferent.. there's a difference), tease her.. etc..

    --

    Make sure you end the conversation, not her, this kinda shit gets girls thinking. Make it seem like you've got a lot of things happening for you.. girls enjoy exciting people - dull people suck.

    ---

    The rest is up to you.

    Stare at her till she feels uncomfortable and starts talking to you.
  • edited July 2008
    all of the openers you guys have provided besides triples are ridiculous and any girl will see right through them

    you have two routes to go down:

    1) "Hey, how are you doing?"

    a) Her: "Im good, how are you" - She asks you something back, shes probably interested

    b) Her: "I'm good" - Full stop, she doesnt ask you anything, she isnt interested, move on

    If she answers back then proceed to ask her something else, dont patronize her with something dumb like her needing your help to lift something, trust me thatll get you nowhere besides slutty chicks with no personality who will giggle after you use that line

    I mean if she is smiling like the OP says shes either doing it because she feels uncomfortable cause hes staring, or because she likes him, theres no need ot use corny ass lines

    "nice runners wanna fuck"

    i just flex really hard while pumpin the iron till my face goes red

    usually girls hit on me after taking a fresh wiff of my manly bodily fumes

    The best pickup is a conversation that is so smooth, she never even noticed how it started. Make her laugh. A girl will never turn her back on a guy who can provide entertainment for her. Also, don't plan anything, it should look and sound natural. Close while you're on a high note and ask if you can call her sometime, best to leave the gym after to avoid any more contact.

    It would probably be a good idea to try this ^^ approach on some strangers first to 1) raise your confidence 2) if you mess it up you can always analyze your mistakes and not make them next time and not make them on the girl you're trying to ask out. Besides, if you can't do a good job doing this on a stranger, how do you expect to do a good job when you're talking to her?

    Most importantly, have fun, because if you ain't, she won't either!

    Good luck buddy. :smile:

    I didn't notice any smile, weird look or mutual attraction. When I saw your picture on talksfu and the time you were wearing the neon green t-shirt. I was like, "Wait a minute?! Is that her?!".

    Oh.

    You know what, it's cool. You can stop caring now.
  • edited August 2008
    seriously..the next time you smile at each other, just say hi.

    sounds too easy but see how she feeds off that and take it from there :)

    seroiusly just say hi the next time you see her smile at you.
