I've approached many girls. And hovering is the worst thing a guy can do. It happens because a guy doesnt know any better or is extremely nervous. Either way, it's bad 👎

You have to tell him he's making you uncomfortable and he will stop. Man obviously can't take a hint.

I see other men do this and I think it must be the biggest sign of weakness and a turnoff for whoever they’re doing it to. I asked my girlfriend about it and she says she doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I don’t know if she’s saying that because she wants me to hover more or if it’s because she genuinely enjoys the attention or doesn’t recognize when it’s happening.
Either way thank you for posting this because it confirms my own feelings on it.

You have a point on hovering not being attractive but...
This is so annoying, disrespectful and juvenile. We’re in our 30s I’m stuck talking to only him all night I don’t want to perform the emotional labor of addressing his attraction to me

Pretty ironic tho... You talk about his immaturity but you spend an entire night talking to someone you don't want to talk to. Apparently its HIS responsibility to pick up on subtle social cues that you aren't interested. Apparently it is easier to waste hours of your time and write a long post on reddit than it is to take 30 seconds to tell him to his face you aren't interested.

Hovering, approaching from the back/side, being too loud, all terrible ways to kill attraction/vibe with women.
But also understand that some guys are just downright deaf to social cues (bordering on autistic) and that you'll have to spell it out for them. I understand most women don't like to do this (because they don't want to seem like a bitch/make a dude angry), but it's necessary for some guys. Hopefully this dude would catch the hint if you continually "had to go somewhere" or "didn't have time to talk" every time he approached.
Dudes, please DON'T do this! Learn.

Relax, I'm on your side.
Unfortunately if you can't be direct with him and get rid of him, looks like the easiest solution for you is to find another gym. Why waste any more time in a bad situation?
[–]creativeoutlaw44 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago* (2 children) | Copy Link
Absolutely. Life isn't fair, and it sucks. But would you rather complain about it or do something about it?
If you're not here to find a solution, you're here to vent. Remember that the vast amount of people here are guys, who are (mostly) logical and solution-oriented. Without a doubt most guys here are on your side that dudes shouldn't do this and will learn from it.

And you've done that. Good luck.

Are you expecting someone from reddit to come over and tell him you're not interested in him? You gotta do it yourself, girl!
I really don't understand what you're afraid of. Especially if you reject him when all your other friends are around, including strangers. He won't do anything bad. If he's a pussy with 0 courage to ask you for a date, then he doesn't seem like an aggressive dude to me. Just end it, cause he's stupid and didn't get the hint.

This "girl" deleted a five-year-old Reddit account over this thread. Don't think too much into it.
