I know that I would definately want to meet you if I was in that situation. It is difficult to say though, because you don't want to interupt his or your lift. I would just lift/cardio very close to that person I was interested in, and invest in some small talk. Talk about lifting, or better still, mention this board. Introduce a new bro to the family, and to your body. Just remember... looks are skin deep.

the gym is no place to pick someone up... that is for guys... i hate them guys who try that shit, its funny though.
as for a girl doing that... just dont wear makeup. and dont ask for help, thats fucked up. he would look at you and think "what are you always here for if you dont know shit".

smile and say hi, leave it at that... if he is interested he will bite at it.... if he doesnt, he is gay or spoken for...

dont work out close to him either, that shit is fuckin freaky.. thats like stalker wrong.

you could just hope you leave at teh same time and he holds the door for ya or soemthing..... good luck...

if all else fails, show em some rack and he will be game...EVEN if he is spoken for

go talk to him. if you dont see him out anywhere thats probably cuz he doeant go out much. im like that to, and if a girl who worked out a lot were to hit on me in the gym i wouldnt mind AT ALL..i doubt any guys would. go for it, you have nothing to loose.

If you do talk to him just make sure it isn't in the middle of his set.

Open your mouth and Speak. Shit your probably talking about me. Yeah I will talk to you, but take Latimers advice dont speak to me in the middle of my set, you might catch a dumbell to your grill piece.

Ask him if you can work in with him when he is using one of the machines. If he doesn't initiate conversation after that, he is a homosexual.

WOW - for 6 months. This is hard or you would have already worked it out. I would look for signs of a wedding band. See I don't were mine at the gym but because of tanning I have a white ring around my finger. If he doesn't looked tied up - hit him with the charm and see what happens.
Life is short - go for it.

There is no 'right' place to pick up or meet people. And please no one say bars or clubs. If you see someone you like, just approach in a respectful manner no matter where you are.

LOL at Thickdog's comment. BTW the only opening line a cute girl needs for a straight guy is hello.

whatcha' got to lose...go for it. if he's gay or taken it's no biggie.

how would you rate YOUR looks...maybe he's just not attracted to you and that's why he hasn't given you any play...

I've gone up to one woman in the gym and things went great...Needless to say I was never dissapointed whenever we did anything...I'm not one of those people who would go up to someone in the gym, but over a few months I noticed we kept checking each other out more and more...Till I finally got tired of seeing her checking me out so I approached her. Be yourself, you will know if he is interesed or not after a minute of talking...

Ask him to spot you when you are doing bench presses. As he stands over you look up his shorts and say "Wow. You don't use juice do you?".

Seriously, I think anyone would be flattered if you struck up a conversation with them - as long as, as everyone mentioned , he wasn't in the middle of a set of squats or something.

Sportchic...if you are good-looking just walk up and say hello. Any "red-blooded" heterosexual male is always thrilled when a good-looking chick comes on to them. It doesn't matter where you are at...the gym, the grocery store etc. guys always have time for an attractive woman.

Women don't belong in a gym period. Better off they be at home cook'en up some meat for dinner. Muscles on a women... what has the world come to anyway! And now their coming up out of the blue and asking a guy out??? What ever happened to the days where women only spoke when spoken too???

go for it sportchic, i know i would be blown away if a chick made the "first move". could be all thats holding this guy back, shyness. if you have the gutsiness to do it, it could turn out to be a good thing. some of the best things probably dont happen because people are inhibited. sad huh?
