I'm more serious about working-out then most and rarely talk to anyone at the gym. Just put my ear-phones in and focus on my workout. But I'm starting to think maybe I should be talking to women there .

Usually I'm so zoned-in that I'm completely oblivious to "green lights" I'm getting. For instance, all the other elliptical machines are empty and a cute girl chooses the one directly to my left and leaves her right ear-bud off for part of the time. And I'm sure some of you guys can attest to the feeling of being "followed" by someone of the opposite sex. Meaning they pop up a few times at a machine next to you or within your line of vision. So much so that it's likely no coincidence.

I wanna hear different things you girls do to get our attention at the gym . And men too, any obvious or not-so obvious flirtatious signs you've noticed.

You sound like a creeper. Those aren't "flirtatious signs". Maybe these women are in your line of vision so much because you're staring at them.

LOL gotta love the internet. If you read what I wrote; I'm often oblivious to other gym goers because I'm so focused on my workout. Staring is not something I do anywhere, buddy.

You likely don't have women checking you out... in the gym or elsewhere. For the guys that do, they probably notice some things.

That was a pretty useless comment, just sayin'. OP was talking about women that work out next to HIM, not him following girls around.

I'm going to second this opinion. You're not necessarily a "creeper" but it doesn't sound like those are flirtatious signs either. I recommend you continue to do what you're doing -- focus on working out at the gym, not getting dates.

This happens to me quite a bit -- I think what's going on here is that we're working the same muscle group that day. That's all. I don't think women go the gym for dates. Most women I talk to absolutely hate being approached at the gym -- they're sweaty, disheveled, etc. They're there to work out. Again, you should stick with your original game plan and go to work out too. For every one girl you approach who appreciates it, there will be 25 who don't. You will become the gym creeper.

I see a lot of guys I think are attractive at the gym but I don't do anything about it.

pretty much every girl in the gym is interested in me. they usually let me know by looking away when we make eye contact, telling me to stop staring, ignoring me when i talk to them and giving me the finger.
