I belong to a niche gym. Mostly, it's just me and a bunch of other women. There are three guys who attend regularly at the same time I do and none of them are single.
When I was in college I did it a lot. Ended up with a number that I should have immediately called instead of delaying and a party. Probably creeped some girls into never going back. My failure rate then was astronomical.
Unfortunately, not by the cool guys my age. Only the much much older guys.
And a 45 year old guy with a wedding ring. When I asked why he is hitting on me despite being married he said "I want to sleep with one more hot woman before I turn 50. My wife and I have no sex anymore."
Ugh. He is on my arse every time we are there at the same time.
I have been looking at hot guys at my gym but never got a response.
I think it is good place. I think working out makes a person feels good about their self and gives them a natural high.
So they be acceptable to being asked.
ive heard a few women say the LAST place they want to be hit on is the gym
they are there to work out...they are sweaty, tired, sore, in a hurry to get it done and get home...they don't want some rico suave with stupid lines hitting on them
there ARE men and women who primarily go to the gym to hook up...they are very obvious...my buddy used to work out at powerhouse, shower, change, and go to ballies to hit on chicks...he was someone who hooked up at bars all the time, told me he never hooked up at the gym, not even a phone number
I never tried...I went to ballies for years and women for the most part were sorta snotty...didn't want to be bothered...don't blame them...working out might be healthy and make you feel good, but its rarely fun
That's the thing, people aren't there to make conversation and be distracted during their workout, so it is harder to approach. You don't want want to linger and give the impression that you're laying in wait for someone. And if you see the same people regularly, it may create an uncomfortable atmosphere to ask someone out, and be turned down, that you see all the time.
Has anybody been asked or asked someone out at the gym before?
How did it go?
Tough place to strike up a conversation
You don't ask them out right away. You strike up a chat. Be friendly the next couple of times you see them. Then ask them out. Or if you run into them outside the gym, you can talk some more, and ask them out. Whether or not it's a tough place to strike up a conversation really depends on the gym. Most gyms I've been to are very social places. Most people don't wear earbuds there, and are open to conversation. Some community-oriented gyms even host evening social events, or have a juice bar for socializing. See if your gym has an events calendar, or maybe look for one that does.
