A lot of women don’t go to a gym thinking: “oh my god, please let’s hope none of these hot fit guys approach me and talk to me”
Many women are social, not every woman is embittered and anti-social just because they are in a gym.
Many women like to be approached provided you are indirect, and start things slowly indirectly, maybe talking about a gym exercise that you need help with, or to ask her the way she does a certain exercise so you can learn from her.
Basically don’t go into direct mode, just try to be a gym pal first, so she gets used to you, and casually ask her name and thank her.
Then some other day you see her, you can say “hi Christine”, or whatever her name is and say thanks for the help the other day, by the way and casually start mentioning if she is around there, or how long she is being working out,
In other words, you have to build up indirectly.

As a gym girl, I would be and am completely open to people coming up to me at the gym, I will say though most girls including myself prefer if you wait till she is in between sets,on a break, etc like when she is not mis exercise just to let her focus on her grind for a minute and to not feel interrupted. If you do interrupt though, it’s not a big deal, but most girls are way way more comfortable when you do more of the break method way. And if someone did reach out to me on social media that thought I was cute for the gym, I would not think it would be weird, just more so flattering. I agree with the slow approach mentioned with the buildup, and if the girl was comfortable with it, you could always ask in the future to ask if she would be willing to be a workout partner in the future, ask her to be your spotter…

that’s relieving to hear , I only talk to people in between sets or exercises, maybe even compliment some of her Instagram post that might be completely unrelated to the gym

If that’s what you are doing, then you are following gym comfortability etiquette well and most girls would have no problem with it. It’s more so when guys start interrupting them mid set, say something super back handed or creepy, and then get surprised when the girl preferred guys didn’t do that (because that is usually how it’s handle most of the time)

That’s fair , I’ve been trying to talk to her , it only happened once and it was super super brief , so I’m assuming it’s a waiting game till the opportunity to talk to her arises again
[–]starameski 26 points27 points28 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
You are man! You create the opportunity, fuck what other people think. Do it in person, shows you have balls

That’s one way to go about it , you aren’t wrong
[–]rashnull 15 points16 points17 points 3 years ago (7 children) | Copy Link
How on earth are you going to find her social without talking to her?! That’s creepy AF!
[–]rksw33zy[S] 4 points5 points6 points 3 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
I’ve talked to her once , but you’ve got a point
[–]razorblade3711 3 points4 points5 points 3 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Did you ask her socials? Or you just found it using her name?

Is she a regular. Say hi on day one, within a week hi-fi, week two checkout at the same time and then walk with her upto her car. Get her number after the chat.
PS :- used to have a gym crush, played this game

what kind of dream world is this
[–]Turbopre2 8 points9 points10 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Do you catch her looking at you? Does she ever try to use a machine near you?
[–]rksw33zy[S] 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don’t know about the looking at me part but sometimes she’ll use the machine next to me
[–]JoMamma23 7 points8 points9 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Most guys have low success rates hitting on girls at the gym so do so at your own risk

There are so many "don't approach rules" that are not absolute at all. If you do it properly and respectfully, you may get away with everything. Women prefer to be approached in person, don't act shy, just pick right circumstances and right words.
[–]DrinksAreOnTheHouse 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Going back to the classic saying: what women say and what they want arent aligned.
I assure you, if she finds you attractive, she’d be more than happy if you struck up a conversation.
[–]Particular-Pop-2484 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Damn I hope someone out there is breaking their back wondering how to approach me at the gym
I agree with the build up comment as well, get her used to you. I’ll have to say it’s interesting to me when a guy doesn’t ask for my info right away. It stands out bc most guys do and then I end up with ghost followers/ viewers. I don’t need that, if you’re gonna ask for my social media, interact with me.
Good luck though!

As always this sub presents you with one of two choice: do nothing or hit on her and ask for her number. How about a third choice? Just talk to her like a normal human wjthout trying to "game" her, display your high value maleness, or in general want anything from her. Just say hi I'm Bob, what's your name.
[–]masmiester 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
add in a bit of banter and see how they respond....
[–]CocoBabeNYC 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Exactly!
[–]MasterRaheem -3 points-2 points-1 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That’s her safe place man and if it doesn’t go well, then it’ll be awkward.
[–]slaybrownbeast -3 points-2 points-1 points 3 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Talk to her right outside of the gym. Anywhere but the gym, right outside the door of the gym is fine.
[–]VNF420 5 points6 points7 points 3 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Lmaooo, yes talk to her just in the frame of the door like she's a NPC
[–]slaybrownbeast 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
We are all npcs. We are all playing behind a controller except we are too attached to this character so when the character is rejected we feel hurt. If op feels intimidated at the gym, then he should catch her outside and tell her that I saw you inside and you were cute but didn’t wanna bother you working out
[–]Majestic_Ad_2885 -2 points-1 points0 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wait in your car until she leaves and “accidentally” bump into her and ask her for number
[–]koolex 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You're going to see her over & over again so just start slow and read her body language. Over time you'll figure out if she would like to be asked out.
[–]mfposgbcs 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Women don't like to be approached at the gym? Who said that? Don't worry about being respectful, like the Nike slogan says, just do it!
[–]Repulsive-Fee393 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Take the excitement out of the approach, it’ll decrease the anxiety, she’ll feel a lot calmer about it too.
[–]SkunkaMunka 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Shoot your shot. Don't overthink it
Just a question. Have you seen other guys approach her?
Does she return eye contact? Flick her hair?
[–]Majestic_Meal_5655 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Catch her outside?
[–]SchoolWasAnImp 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Lmao. Follow her to her house. (Don’t actually. It was a joke).
[–]FranciscotheBull 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I think it would be common gym etiquette to wait I'm between sets to strike a conversation and keep it brief. Some people, men and women, might be in the zone of their workout, but most people are okay with a brief conversation between sets with rest periods with their workout. If you want to jeep the conversation going, let her do her workout briefly and talk woth her when she is resting in between sets. You can start off with a compliment and has her name, and then go from their. She doesn't know you know her social media, but you can ask for her social media. Just keep it casual for now and approach it like anything else. If the vibe is good, then it is all good. If she rejects you, keep it moving.
[–]eieuxezyk 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I would say hello while walking past her in the gym. After about 20 minutes, find a place close to where she’s at and kind of act normal there. It’s her move now. If she shows no attention, I’d let it go for now. Next time in the gym, I would not say anything but get close to her again and just work out or something. She will remember you. If she doesn’t approach or send any signals, she’s probably not interested.

My only words to you brother is that every time u want to approach a woman do it in the manner where she can see you approach her 😂💯🌴🥇 Go Have Fun King
[–]ParticularAmazing112 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Don’t hit on her right away. Just treat her like how you’ll treat any other person you want to get close to in the gym. Discuss gym related things. Be genuine. The problem women have with people approaching them at the gym is it seems as these people just see them as curvy bodies to get in. It’s obvious. You want to at least form a gym type relationship first before going into all that.
Just a quick example. I had sort of a gym crush, she worked there but worked out from time to time. When she finished a deadlift set, I approach and made the remark that “every time I do that, my back warns me the next day “don’t you ever do that again”..it got a laugh out of her and from there, we discussed deadlifting. She actually enjoyed having to show me a few things(still fucks up my back no matter how I do it lol). But from there, we started talking at the gym. She always asked “how is your back old man” and we sort of form that relationship to eventually going out on a date.
Now this is the same approach I’ll take with anyone I want to speak to in the gym. Even if it’s a man doing something I can’t do, I’ll approach and say “how tf are you doing that man?”….Just get out of your head and treat her like how you’ll treat anyone else you want to talk to in the gym.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It’s very unlikely to work out….
[–]for3sight_ 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just don’t do it man, trust e

Introduce self and offer to spot her. Important to smile.
