Spoke to an attractive female the other day, basically small talk in between sets. Didn't think too much of the interaction. Didn't escalate. It just rolled on the top of my tongue. I wished her well with her exercises and left the machine. I was proud of the situation as usually I'd freeze up even with anyone next to me, let alone someone attractive.

Yesterday, I saw the same girl again. I was working out adjacent towards her. Finished my set and said "fuck it, I'll just introduce myself" I don't care much. I'm just going to put myself out there. Said something along the lines of "Always see you around here, what's your name, I'm ___" . Shook hands, asked her what exercise she was doing and ended up telling her some personal input about working out. She ended up laughing at the story (not sure about this means) and I just wished her well with the rest of her workout. Good vibes from me. Was having fun with it.

I know most of yous would be saying escalate or run game. I just wanted to run a fun interaction. It was the gym and know people are there to work on themselves so don't want to keep it weird or busy. Somehow, I'm really happy that I was able to just go directly and be like introduce myself

I am quiet new to game so I'm not sure how appropriate going up to someone and being like "Hey I always see you around here a lot. I'm ___" Can someone advice me on this? Good opener? It just popped out in my head. Couldn't be fucked to find an excuse to talk to her. Another thing I always worry up is creeping out someone. I approached with good confidence, we were vibing well (or at least I hope?) And I know I shouldn't really care because I haven't overstepped any boundaries but is there any things I can tell myself to stop overthinking?

By all means, still really happy to do this. Find myself pushing through resistance and being fun. Always looking to improve on myself. Gonna start approaching more. Fuck it.
