Didnt see her today because i went early and went out for drinks from girl off tinder and sealed the deal. will hopefully see her at gym this weekend.

You did fine, good job getting the balls to do it. I have no probem picking up girls at bars, school, stores, etc. but something about the gym scares me, im 1 for 1 at the gym, but only ever did it once, so good job. Stay friendly, and one of the next times you talk to her say, "Im going to _____ this weekend, wanna join/meet up?"

then if success, answer "Ok great, let me get your number"

or if not, depending on her answer, say, "No worries, maybe another time" or "No worries, take my number and let me know when your free"


Its as simple as that
sounds like a good plan

i initiated the handshake when i said im jeff nice to finally know your name. She was smiling and maintained eye contact throughout, i kept it like under 3minute convo it was really quick

I cringe at people that cold approach. I legit have paranoia because people have approached me in the gym so i stopped going. People don't like people doing this 99.9% of the time. I'm not even trying to be negative i'm just stating the truth. If you are at a place where alcohol is involved or a nightclub or something sure go ahead people expect to be approached at places like that but don't do that during the day time at the gym, gas stations etc. It's basically harassment and causes people to feel uncomfortable.

Saying hi nice to meet you is harassment

mirin your confidence, OP, even if it didn't come to much. i cud never interrupt a chick in the gym especially onewith her headphones in. on top of that, chicks and people in general in Toronto are relatively cold and don't like talking.

tbh, if she's not drooling over you, she prolly went home and ranted on reddit about you. sad.

Where do you guys live that talking to people at the gym is a negative thing.. I go to a more serious gym in Long Island, but lots of younger college kids go there too during their breaks.. also young professionals..

Everyone talks to everyone.. where does a gym exist that everyone doesn't at least have an idea of who everyone? Where is there a gym that you don't make friends, men and women?

Exactly what you did and then say "hey why don't you give me your number so we can hang out later". This isn't rocket science.

Jesus Christ this is how people meet in society. I've never read a worse post from someone blaming everyone for their problems and I've been here reading a long time.

Get yourself help bro nobody is ever going to do it for you. Society isn't there yet but you definitely need it 100%.

Hate to say this but approaching people is not normal. There is a time and place for that. Cold approachcels are the ones that making people be more on edge and making it harder for everyone else.

if u're a woman approaching, you have to make it obvious AF. srs. too many guys have been thrown off guard by friendly women and then had their hearts sliced.

for all she knows, you were in committed relationship but now you are single

if she acts weird, then you dodged a bullet

My gym has a small "health" cafe right next door. Always gym women in there eating or getting something to go. It is literally a GOLD MINE for picking up gym chicks........if there is a place like this within walking distance from your gym, it's a huge advantage.

Agreed, this is the only gym scenario where the guy doesn't come off as a totally desperate autist. Like I said, the underlying assumption is that in 2019 it's very easy to find girls to date and bang thanks to online, bars, etc. so if you're single and trying to mingle at the gym, you're clearly failing in all those more reasonable hookup places. Some guys on this forum are desperate, so they will put themselves in these situations that often come across as creeping or desperate. If you truly don't give a **** about someone else's feelings, go for it. But if you're halfway decent looking and have a good game, you can pull a ton elsewhere, so why take the risk of offending or harrassing somebody that just wants to do their workout and go home.

theres a booster juice next to my gym so i would ask to get a booster juice after the workout, but it will likely be closed by the time she finishes at 10-11pm
