How do you meet someone at a health club?

[rrap]

I work out at a health club every morning. I use

 

a certain piece of exercise equipment. A girl

 

exercises next to me every day. I think she is

 

attractive. She dresses with conservative workout

 

clothes unlike a lot of the other girls. I

 

started having conversation with her about

 

different topics. Every morning she says hi

 

to me with a smile and when she finishes her

 

workout she says goodbye to me with a smile. It

 

seems though that I'm the one that initiates

 

conversation. I've heard her initiate conversation

 

with women but not guys. I'm unsure

 

if I am bothering her. I dont want to make her

 

feel uncomfortable, especially when she is paying

 

to be there. Yet, on the other hand I'd like to

 

develop a friendship/relationship with her because

 

she has a lot of qualities that I like. I'm having a

 

difficult time understanding where she stands.

 

What is the best way to deal with this?

First of all, let me clear things up for you as far as liking qualities she has. She may have some physical qualities you like but short of that you know very little about her. Reserve your opinion of her until you get to know her...if you get that chance.

 

With that out of the way, you seem to well understand that people go to the gym to workout and the pay a good price for that.

 

Start a conversation with her sometime when she smiles and says hello or goodbye. Ask her if she lives closeby, how long she's been working out, if she knows of any good health food stores close by. There are lots of good opening lines you can use and women always love for someone to ask their advice on things.

 

If she seems open and receptive to the conversation, make the first one rather brief. Then the next time you see her, you can go more into depth if you get the vibes that she enjoys talking to you. If you have the feeling she wants to go about her business, leave her alone and find someone else.

 

Lots of people do meet at gyms...but lots more meet in other places. People really don't like to be cornered where they come to do certain business so remain sensitive to that.
