Hot guy at gym...WWYD?

[wannabefree]

There's a guy at the gym where I work out and I seem to have developed a crush on him (at the tender age of 33!).

We've had eye contact a few times, where we've held each other's gaze for a fraction of a second and smiled. He seems to lift weights in front of me quite a lot. One time he was bending in front of me and I kept thinking 'this shouldn't be allowed...can someone please call management?!'...I thought I was going to spontaneously combust! (His butt is amazing!)

Anyway, the long and short of it is the glances could mean he fancies me, but then again he might just be being friendly. The working out in front of me could be that he fancies me...but could just be that that's where he wants to work out. I KIND of get a vibe that he has noticed me...do we girls have an intuition about this kind of thing, or is it all in my head? It's been so long since I've had to do this that I feel like I'm 16 again! I don't want to make a fool of myself, because I will need to keep going to this gym.

What's my next step? I'm kind of shy, but not. I have problems doing the holding gazes and sultry looks thing, but wouldn't have a problem walking up to him and initiating a conversation. I've not had much practice at flirting. The question is, what should I say if I were to go up to him and start talking?

I need your help girls!

Nice guns

Just googled 'guns' and the urban dictionary says its sometimes used for people who think they have big muscles when they really don't, so maybe I shouldn't use that line. LOL!

Nobody's up for some light relief? Obviously all into the doom and gloom on here?!

Nice arse?

Ask him if he needs a hand rubbing himself down after his workout :o

not been impatient OP are you?

pls someone tell me if it is totally unreasonable still believe that a bloke should make the first move or am I been and out of touch old cow? I thought women made first move back in the days but not anymore, honest!

I know, boxing, but if I waited for men to approach me I'd stay single forever! I think I probably come across as unapproachable because Im quite shy.

All men in the gym should be hot unless they aren't working hard enough.

OP if you're not good at/comfortable with the flirty stuff then I'd advise against it. Just be yourself, smile at him be friendly. Ask him for some advice on the best way to tone up or whatever. Once you've struck up a conversation ask him if he'd like a quick drink if there is somewhere to get a drink at the club/nearby.

Or alternatively you could ask someone who has experience of chatting someone up that isn't years out of date

Ask him to show you how to use the weight machines? Plead you dont know how to use them to your advantage and how his muscles obviously show how good he is at it

I like how you think, smokinaces!

You only live once OP. Whereas there are many gyms...

Mind you, the type of man you get in gyms does tend to love himself (as opposed to the type which actually go outdoors to do their sports with no captive audience). I like the "nice guns" comment. You probably won't have to say much else...

Challenge him to a boxercise session.

Accidentally wander into the Gents showers one day...while he is in there obviously

Ask him if he wouldn't mind looking at your two dumbbells because they're quite big and you have difficulty lifting them without assistance.

gawdon you have too much time on your hands today- or something like that.

Well you must have too Rose seeing as you are responding to all my inane ramblings ;-)

oooooow- nice to be called Rose- most posters stick to cabbage:)

A Rose is but a Rose by any other name Cabbage girl.
