Hey guys, first of all sorry if my english is bad (im german) and thanks for all your help.

I started reading many posts of this subreddit this year but its my first time posting.

I wanted to let you know that you should never wait too long to approach a girl you find attractive, because the regret of not trying and always thinking what could have happened can hit you very hard (like it has happened to me today).

According to the girls i dated im good looking and fit. Im going three times a week to the gym with my 3yrs older brother. I am 23 yrs old. He is 26.

There is this really fit hot blonde girl thats a bit shorter than me (im 5'7), that i see for about two weeks going to the gym. She is always jogging alone on the treadmill for like two hours at a fast pace and dont seem to have many friends in our gym. I never talked to her but when our paths are crossing (me walking past her) she is often looking at me and it feels like she is giving me signals to approach her.

Today was a little different. I was also jogging on the treadmill to get warmed up (about two treadmills right from her bc the gym was really full) and i noticed that she always looked at me. When i was done with my warm up i walked past her treadmill with my brother and she was suddenly coughing a bit. We ignored and after that i didnt see her again today.

Normally i would have approached her today because i changed my life these past months for the better. Im often clubbing with my "close friends" and also approaching and even getting girls there.

But the problem this time is, that i was there with my brother, who is a big pussy and is always making fun of me with my circle of "close friends", when im getting "rejected" or walking away after talking to girls at the club. Im trying to give no fucks and always laugh it off even though it hurts a bit honestly.

They think that im getting rejected after approaching a girl if i dont get (or even want) her number. Im always trying to socialize at clubs and dont drink that much alcohol.

I never daygamed besides someone (especially my toxic brother) and i was getting worried that if im getting rejected that i would become the clown in our group.

I think they are jealous of me these past months, because according to them i only get girls because they are drunk or ugly.

I tried to distance myself from these "friends" but i just cant escape. We always helped each other in hard times and our families know each other very close and thats why im seeing them very often. Im trying to hang out with other friends nowadays but my parents are always angry at me for rejecting my "fake friends".

Im going to approach her next time i see her no matter what happens, even though im gonna get most likely rejected, because its already to late. I would really deserve that rejection.

So my question is how do you guys think i should approach her next time i see her?

I was thinking about saying that see her often in the gym and ask her how she can jog so long and fast at the same time and if she could give me some tips for jogging (for breathing etc.).

After that i would probably say something along the lines of that she must have a big heart and would go out with me if i ask her kindly enough. Would that be too cheesy?

And what should i say when she asked why i didnt approach her before?
