i have the PERFECT plan...

follow her after she leaves the gym every day for 3 weeks and see where she goes. if she goes home everyday, follow her after that and see where she shops. then you need to be in that store one day, strike up a conversation, and say you both workout at the same place!!!!

PROFIT FOR SURE!!(*!&@@!

Step2: Now that she is aware of your presence, wait until she is on a machine (be sure you can lift at least 2x her on the machine). When she is about to lift walk over and ask if you can work in on the machine. When you see how much weight is on, just laugh at her and rolll you eyes and say "that's all you can do.....pvssy" and proceed to lift a lot. Be sure to make noises while lifting and then walk away without setting it back to her settings.

Step3: Profit!!!!!


edit: put YAGT in your title and you'll get 10x the hits in your thread.

I can see this happening followed by the PA announcement:

Code Brown on the weight bench. Janitorial staff to the free weight section

jnetty99, if you know her routine, make sure you are finishing as she is finishing. Then introduce yourself and see if she'd like to sit down while you both have a protein shake or a quick snack meal to replinish. Oh, and all this questioning you are doing makes it seem like you have zero confidence in your ability to get her. Relax. Take a deep breath. Introduce yourself and try to get to know her. Oh, and have something to say!

edit:// however if during the workout she is right next to you, strike up the conversation right then and there. It would be less confrontational because you are both 'doing' the same exercises and she is right next to you.

I just never hit on anyone at the gym that's all.

If this girl is pretty attractive, there's no doubt she's been hit on by so many muscleheads at these places that she is going to instantly have a roadblock on anything you say. You need to make it seem not so much of a pickup. Just talk to her. Don't make it seem like such a big deal. Hence the 'hey, you seem cool let's get something to drink after the workout' thing.

The most common way I've seen was ask somebody about something gym related. For example, a girl asking a guy with help on some exercise. This may not work for a guy (I'm assuming you're a guy), so you can try making some sort of comment. For example if you're new to the gym you can ask "if this place is always this crowded".

first, pretend like you aren't scared of her. The quickest way to acquire some confidence is to first pretend like you already have it.

second, go up to her and introduce yourself. mild compliment would work here.

third, ask her if she'd be interesting in doing something.

"Hi, my name is bob. I see you in here often and I think you're very attractive. I was wondering if you'd be interested in having a bite/going out/doing something."

If she's already engaged in a relationship, she should probably tell you at this point. If she's not interested, also something she should tell you at this point. If she is interested, you should make for time and place. I mean, what's the worst that could happen? She could laugh at you or something, but then people would just think she was a skank. If I were there, I'd be impressed that you actually asked her.

Then again, you could always go with my old standby and ask her "would you be terribly offended if I were to throw you in the corner and have my way with you?" :p

I wonder, has that line ever worked? I know a couple of girls on whom it might but I'm too much of a chicken to try.

I got to the gym all the time and my intentions have never been to go for hitting on women, but i saw this one and i don't want to be so obvious or I guess interrupt her workout.

do you think it's not a good thing to do at the gym.

1. Fart
2. Blame the other guy
3. ...
4. Profit
