I've read a lot about picking up girls at the gym, it has always been one of my weak points. There's this girl, 8, that works out everyday the same time I do. A few weeks ago she went to a machine that I used before her and I saw a look on her face when she realized my sweat was still on it. I looked over and said "sorry, but don't worry my sweat isn't contagious." I walked off and I heard her laughing. Anyway from that point on I would always say hello and she too. Today I ended up beside her again and I looked over and said "i also somehow seem to end up beside you?" She returned, "That's perfectly fine." We exchanged names and when I left I said "Have a good one, K8". She said "You too" and with a gaze in her eyes said "It was nice meeting you." I figure the rappart is there now it's just small talk to the close. I'm a little proud of the progress.

I hate people who do not clean up after themselves at the gym.
Sometimes, it's not that bad, but there are some people who leave almost a puddle of water from sweat on the benches/machines and it's just plain rude.
More or less, it's the samd guy who spends a couple hours at the gym, the same guy who tries picking up the same girls every week, the same guy who wastes everybody elses time, and it's usually the guys who are either skinny or overweight and go to the gym to hang around and talk and look like an idiot.

Disco:
Nice work at the gym. It is truely a target rich environment. Here is some information that I found a while ago that I think works well in an enclosed place like a gym:
Girl signaling interest:
If I like you I look at you a lot. I suddenly appear where you usually hang out, but I don't really talk to you, just kind of "be around I smile and laugh a lot in your vicinity and glance over to see if you're watching me. If there's a bigger interest, I'll think up crazy excuses to talk to you or spend time with you. When I'm feeling brave, I'll just come out and say "I've got a thing for you I'll try to be near you...if I touch you, that's a surefire sign because I'm not a touchy feely kind of person. If all else fails, I'll just ask you out. I get frustrated quickly if you're not reciprocating interest and just assume you don't like me...so you have to be pretty forward. If I like you a lot I talk like an idiot...stutter, say things that don't make sense, or ramble.
Girl signaling DIS-interest:
I won't really look at you. I'll try to avoid eye contact at all costs. I'll go about my business as if I haven't seen you. If you talk to me I'll be polite and nice, but not overly, and without a lot of facial expression and body movements. I will never just be mean or tell you to go away because that's just not me.
The cardio area is a great place to start up a nice long conversation w/ a girl in on the treadmill/bike/stairmaster. If you think you have something going with her, then just workout next to her on one of those machines. Get the digits and go..
Cheers!

That happened yesterday. This girl usually jogs and I bike, well she was on the bikes when I got there. Went on about my business, then when she was done she looked over and said "hey, small talk about college, work, etc..." I think she interested, but since I work out all the time I don't want to create an awkward situation. I'm going to get the digits today, I'm going to get the digits today...

I think guaging interest is key in this situation. You might want to start with a "hey, I'm going to be "someplace, coffee shop, bar, etc. with a buddy, you should meet up with us." Or the old, Hey, we should get together sometime..then silence...watch how she reacts... if good, then get the digits. The whole deal about having to see them every day if you're shot down does really suck. However, if you develop pig-thick skin, then it shouldn't bother you! Keep on keeping on! My buddy has asked out about 10 girls from the gym and maybe 1 has said yes. He still sees the girls who shot him down every day, but he doesn't give a sh-it..no emotion from this guy.. true DJ and he doesn't even know about this site!
Cheers!

"Also, I don't believe that women who have no interest in you will ask you open ended questions where the conversation could last longer. Just my observation."
That's what I thought until I ran into this one hotty at the gym. I have a thread about it called "did I next her too quick". She gave me great signs, but no KINO. I think she wanted me for social proof and to boost her ego as she was always fishing for compliments. Bottom line: I now pay more attention to their actions and not their words...
"Better to have been shot down then not at alll right. This is going to be fun, I'll get to demonstrate that I'm not scared in front of a dozen or so other guys. Should get respect either way."
A smooth, well thought out approach could be the different between a yes and a no. I'm not telling you that you shouldn't "Just Do It!" - I'm saying "Just Do It Right!"
Good Luck!
