I’ve been spending more and more time in the gym and while I respect others, distance myself and try NOT to stare, I can’t help but find so many attractive girls there. I have an urge just to be friendly and say hi, not necessarily make a pass but to lightly flirt. Even if the endgame is to make a new female friend if possible.

Girls: should I stay in my lane and forget about talking to anyone or if I should take a leap, what advice would you give if a guy came up and said hi to you….?

Thanks in advance for any insight
