I happen to notice when I go to the gym out of a whole group of people there will be one guy who asks a few of the girls for their numbers, is this socially acceptable or are they trying to get someone in trouble


Is it okay to just walk up to a girl in the gym and ask her for her number ?

Can you do it? Sure, if you're polite.

But unless the two of you have been winking and flirting over the Nautilus machines, you're probably not going to get her number.

Possibly. But she's not there to look for a date (or shouldn't be); she's there to work out. Certainly don't do it while she's in the middle of a lift, concentrating in between, etc. Remember too that everyone at the gym is sweaty and unkempt and breathing hard and possibly red-faced because they're working out; not exactly a place where anyone feels confident about their looks.

Multiple women?? NO!

A certain woman you (and she) have found you might be interested in each other...
ok. Make sure you say hello and talk a few times before asking for the number.

No no and no. That spells creeper. A good way to get avoided in the future and find that person moving as far away as possible when you come in the area next time.

Try talking to her first, but while she is not actively engaged in a move. Better yet, talk to her after her workout. She may talk to you or not. But just asking for a number is a sure way of getting rejected.

The best solution is to focus on your workout and let her focus on hers, and look for dates elsewhere. You don't want to be creepy gym dude.

I'd rather walk barefoot across a 200 foot long path of Legos than ever attempt to ask a woman for her number in a gym.

One guy asking multiple women for their numbers screams of desperation. I can think of nothing else as big of a turnoff for women as that.

Exercising types tend to be folks that take care of themselves. You won't find dopers and drunks at gyms.
So any female that is "looking" has pretty decent chance of meeting someone decent at the gym.

How is it played, that's different story but don't tell me that they don't go there with "open mind".
