Are guys really this scared of women? Just start casually talking to her. As long as you don't get all in her face and stumble over your own words, you'll be fine.

wait till she is done working out -- a lot of women go to the gym TO WORK OUT not to meet guys (although some are there to socialize) -- and it's very irritating to have people come up and hit on you (or offer you manly weightlifting advice) all the time.

be like "hey i seen u around here a lot and i just had to come talk to you.... im (your name)..."

anything beyond that because i cant see the girl or know how old she is... the rest of this is highly dependant on her age and mildy dependant on her style.

Well, first, you'd better have a female friend go into the steamroom with her to make sure they're real. Once you've figured that out, go for it.

You said she uses the machines.

Use the elliptical or treadmill nearby. Not BESIDE her but like one over. Too close and she'll smell your stink. Just make sure you can do cardio good. If you're like 300 pounds and huff and puff she might be a little concerned. Other then that just hit it off and introduce yourself.

I talk to people on the machines all the time (well, the morning crowd at 7am are a lot more talkative and cheerful then other times of day)

Honestly sounds good.

I totally agree and I notice she is very into coming to workout and leaves.

I would say she is about maybe 25 years or age, comes to the gym prepared, workout clothes, sweater and headphones.

Funny you mention that, I do use the machines I run and use the elliptical all the time and this last time I went to the gym I got on the treadmill and started warming up and all other machines were empty around me and she came over and started walking next to me. After my 20 minutes I moved over to the elliptical and same thing happen she moved over next to me. I might think that means something but then again I don?t know how to read women; it has failed me in the past.

Oh I work out at night

Just introduce yourself.

If at first she doesn't seem interested you 'may' try again but most guys won't. If she seems fine to talking a bit then that is good. If not she is not interested. You have nothing to lose. Don't be so shy.

of all the girls i know, the #1 place they HATE to get hit on is at a gym. i would say the gym is the toughest place to hit on a girl.

they all hate it because it happens so often and is just annoying. i know a few girls who go to all girl gyms becase they dislike it so much.

Picking up women in general doesn't come easy to all of us. I'm not sure I would attempt this one, it seems like it likely has little chance of success. You should probably just go up to her and crash this plane into the ground before you get to worked up over the idea.
