With all the f*** s*** that's been going on at the gym involving Tiktok and all that other s***, it's better to just let the women approach you.

People are scared of nuance and uncertainty and would rather just apply a one size fits all rule

For sure but being more decisive in the moment would be the best thing OP can do

Thats true but like i said i struggle to approach strangers because i can never come up with anything i think is witty/engaging enough to say

Really i need this advice for my interactions in general not just this situation

I was like that at one point. Usually if someone looks at me I say hi and keep it moving.

Nobody's perfect and the opportunity wasn't lost yet

just go and say 'Hi, my name's @op, I've noticed we were crossing eyes a few times, wanna go out for some drinks tonight?'

if you wait too much maybe she'll start losing interest
you got NOTHING to lose

Mentioning the 2 worst places like there’s nowhere else irl to approach woman at is hilarious lol

One of my best interactions came at a bookstore for goodness sake.

A bookstore is a great place imo. Nice icebreaker just talking about books

The reason places like gyms and work are looked at as no no areas is one, when ppl go to the gym (genuinely) they going to work on they sets, it’s a very solitary thing.

Work is an HR issue cause even if you have the best intentions and can take rejection, the other person can still feel uncomfortable lol also best case scenario it works out until it dont and now work is super awkward for both of yall.

Its other places you can meet ppl at that doesnt involve them doing something solitary or them being at work lol.

Yeah I was gonna say, I feel like I've seen this scenario go badly in a video recently.

You don't. Last thing any girl wants is to be hit on at the gym. For most people that is their self care time

Lots of proper weirdos itt and it aint me

dont do this @op

nigga said wave.

holler at shawty like

But that’s exactly my point. I don’t think the gym is a good place to meet women in general, but the context is always different, so in specific situations (where the girl signals interest in you), you can approach women there and have it go well. Same with the bookstore, I’m sure there’s people who would say “she doesn’t want to get approached at a bookstore, she just wants to look for books,” and again, in general I tend to agree, but if something comes up organically there, then great. I’m definitely not saying to approach women all willy-nilly in the gym, but I don’t think it should be a universal rule that it’s always a bad idea either.

Or

i feel like a bookstore would be an easy place, easy convo starter based on her book and you can can get in and out real smooth

ask her if she watches one piece

You gone end up on a Chinese TikTok talking about why American men are the biggest predators in the world 🌍

Keep it up!

wait by her car and give her a friendly wave when she comes out the gym

I never seen a baddie in a book store

Speaking of Book Stores, make sure you suggest the 48 Laws of Power.. b****es love the 48 Laws of Power.
