marcid21 Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 for months and months i've been eyeing this wonderful piece of HOTNESS at the gym....and I've yet to talk to him.We make eye contact all the time....but no dice. It's kind of weird in the gym setting, because i'm definetly NOT the type to play the damsel in distress, and ask him to help me with a machine....or something queer like that. Half the time i spend my time on the other side of the gym, so he won't see me working up a sweat.Someone....please. I need some serious help. How do i talk to this manly man without looking like an ass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do i talk to this manly man without looking like an ass? Get next to him next time you do cardio... I always look for conversation during cardio. ( Unless I have my headphones on )But conversations makes cardio that much more enjoyable... So why not try it there...

If he is in good shape. I am sure at some time or another he does cardio. Unless he runs somewhere else or something. There are many ways to strike up conversation. I mean have you at least asked how he was doing when walking by. I mean it is a simple gesture that is used to at least acknowledge each other. And then when people are comfortable with that. Random conversation will follow. But if you 2 have never even acknowledged each other besides eye contact it is a little rough. And don't be ashamed to ask him for help at a station. Even if you don't need a spot. Sometimes people need help with form... Example keeping elbows in while doing various tricept exercises.

Nautalis Section I take it Alot of guys use that section as well... Mostly to burn out a muscle after using the " Barberic " free weights... Just another idea... When he is in an area doing say dumbell bench press... ( Ladies exercise as well ) Ask him if you can work in with him ( If all other benches are full ) And say something damn it...

If you are going to walk by one another and look at each other and neither of you at least ask how the other one is... I simple " How are you " then you are both horrible... I mean it is not something saying or leading to anything. But it will at least break the silence... Speak up woman... other wise it will haunt you. We have all been there... And you walk away and you smack yourself because you think of everything that you would have said... Only now you are not around one another...

ou812 Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 Nonchalantly walk past him carrying a dumbell, then just as pass by him, drop it on his foot. It will work, you must trust me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covetoys Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 i hate to say this, but what if you are chasing the wrong dream here? What if in fact he's gay? He maybe smiling back at you becuase he wants to know where you get your lip gloss. Or he could be (even worse) married or in a heavy relationship. I think you should give him some suggestive glances and let him approach you. If you give him a few hints and talk to him at the water fountain and stuff, he should get the picture. You will know instantly if he's gay, married, in a relationship or only has muscles for lifting, not thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintron Posted August 13 Report Share Posted August 13 you could always try thinking of a few questions to start off a convo, then walk up to him and say "hey, what's up. I"m marci."that usually works quite well, ya know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
