Dating : Is it okay to ask a girl out at the gym?
You’re working out and there’s a cute girl. You smile, she smiles back but continues her workout. Is it okay to just randomly go up to her and say something like « hey, you’ve got a great smile. Would you want to grab a post workout drink sometime? »
Or is the gym a place girls don’t want to get hit on? Don’t want to be creepy or too straightforward.
As a female weight lifter, I get majorly creeped at the gym about men because most men who talk to you at the gym want to “correct your form” (touch you), “compliment your physique” (say you have a nice butt), or tell you you shouldn’t be lifting because you’ll look like a man. If I were you, I wouldn’t ask this girl out while she’s working out. Maybe if she’s at a water fountain or something? Even then I’d be cautious. The gym is one of those places that you do a lot of awkward stuff openly in private and so most people like to be left alone.
My sister put this perfectly to me when I asked her if it was creepy if a guy approached her at the gym:
“Depends whether I’m attracted to him or not”.
Just depends on whether she likes you or not.
I swear if a woman wants a date all she has to do is join a class and start going to the gym. There’s so many « girl in class » posts and « girl in the gym » posts on here, lol.
Ask her out after 1 smile at the gym? No!
It depends if you’re attractive or not. And since you’re asking for dating advice on reddit, I’m gonna say, no, don’t do it.
