There's a guy at the gym where we both have been checking each other out for the last few months. However, neither one of us have said anything to each other.

I'm too shy to approach him and I'm starting to think that perhaps he's just not that interested to approach me since it has taken so long. But I have the biggest crush on him and I almost can't get over someone unless someone new comes along or I get rejected.

I see him looking at me all the time and comes by me almost each time he sees me at the gym. I was thinking of walking pass him one day while he's resting between exercises and just drop him a note with my number. I find that easier than to interrupt him and talk to him, or trying to talk to him when dozens of people are around trying to work out.

Would the note be too desperate? Guys, would you be turned off if someone did that to you? I don't know what else to do.

Why not just say hi to him and introduce yourself and start a conversation?

Handing him a note with your number is way more presumptuous.

Yeah, you should say hi. At least say hi.

That's all you really need to say. Hopefully he will help in the introduction.

Then give your number so he can put it in his sweaty shorts with no pockets.

I think a simple 'Hi' is the way to go too.

Smile, leave your name and number and just say, give me a call some time. You don't risk getting shot down. It may take just that to break the ice.

But what if he never calls? Then is gets all awkward and weird when you see him.



Welp, glad I could help

So simple, straightforward and yet it seems like a foreign concept. Listen up, you were blessed with the power of speech ... try using it. If he is close to normal, he will find that method to be natural, relaxed and disarming ... I doubt he will be put off by you saying, "Hi, my name is Sharon, I've seen you in the gym before and I would like to get to know a bit more about you."

Seriously.

Handing him my number would take WAY more balls than just saying hi.

It skips a couple of steps, too.
