Dating and the Gym
Simply stated, what`s the best way to "pick up" at the gym? I`m not a fan of gym being "meet markets" but sometimes you see someone all the time and find that person, does it for you and you might want to get to know them better. I just find it hard, because you`re both there for a specific reason and that`s to bust your ass working out. I can`t stand when I`m all focused blazing on the treadmill and someone tries to talk to me, so I can`t really see when an appropriate time to go up to someone would be. Admittedly I`m also a little on the shy side, so that`s also a bit of an issue. I like athletic women. Women, who kick ass in the gym when they are there and enjoy doing it. You usually pick up women in bars and clubs, but fitness enthused women don`t really frequent those places so the only venue is the gym.

hmmm… hard to say. i would probably get really pissed off if i felt someone were trying to hit on me at the gym. however, i did have someone last week pay me a very kind and tasteful compliment as i was walking in, which i found to be very appropriate. maybe something like that could serve as a segway into an introduction?
