Introduced myself to a girl, advice and next step?

I started going to gym a couple times a week. 2 weeks ago I went and as soon as I walked in saw a girl working on a machine, which caught my eye, and she looked at me. She then left and came back dressed in a staff outfit, so she is a trainer. I would definitely say she is close to my age. I saw her 2 more times after that and each time I occasionally look over at her and would sometimes catch what seems to be her looking at me. Today at the gym she was working out. When I was done and she was alone i went up to her. I was nervous but started by asking her if she worked here and she replied yes, I then introduced myself and asked her name. I tried to ask her if she had been working there for long but she took it the wrong way and replied with "I am not on the clock yet, can I help you with something?". I asked that to try and start a conversation. I then said I just wanted to know your name said goodbye and left.

I will see her again, what is the next step and did i sound stupid?

    no that wasnt stupid man, in fact I was in the same situation a few weeks ago and this is what I did...

    Next time you see her walk up to her and say something like "hey (what ever her name is) how are you today?" then after that start up a conversation about whatever... but when you talk to her, look her in the eyes and try to be funny. It will show you have self confidence and women like that, trust me. If the conversation goes well ask for her #. Call her the next day and ask her if shed like to do something one day shes off of work.

    Good luck man, I hope it works out for you.

    P.S. The girl I talked to is now my girl friend ;)

    Hi,

    Your not stupid silly.

    OK if she see you looking at her then she will look back.

    Like if someone looks at you a lot you would look back at the person. And when a girl sees a guy looking at her they no the boy likes her. So when you said your name and ask for her name that's a sign for your number or a date. She is not being rude saying I'm not on the clock yet because she just want you to no I'm not the person that gives an answer so fast. And that's OK. Trust me I say that to a lot of guys, because they go way to fast. And your not going fast by just wanting to get her name. But girls always think of ahead that great he likes me and wants to get together, don't take it to hard.OK on the next step you should say:

    Hey, I just wanted to no you're name last time because you sound like a cool friend to hang out with and get to no you, please don't think I'm the guys that are fast and catchy because I'm not I'm just a people guy.

    Then maybe later on you can be friends then later more on you might be a couple.

    Good luck,

    Take care

    Be safe

    Don't go to fast!

    And its good your going to the gym, you will live longer.

    no you didnt sound stupid. just start talking to her again if you see her alone. then just start talking about upcoming events (concerts, festivals, dinner). (make sure you check her finger for a ring) OR ask her if she would be your trainer. compliment her about seeing her doing a good job with people she's helping train and just seeing her work out.

    If you don't like any of this advice, just start talking about whatever pops into your head.

    Hope this helps.

    You kind of did sound stupid.

    Its time to build off that.

    Instead of bringing up your little accident in convo from the other day, start new.

    Reintroduce yourself, don't be nervous, and just be yourself!

    If she likes who you are, it can lead to later encounters, and maybe a start of a new relationship.

    Don't expect results right away because they won't always happy.

    In the end you may just make a really good friend or a possible gf.

  • You didn't sound stupid at all, she may have taken it the wrong way and thought you needed help maybe? If you like her maybe try again. Maybe make it a little more obvious that you are intrested, introduce your self again and ask her if she would like to go out for coffee. If you are not intrested then don't sweat it continue with your regular gym activities as though she isn't there.

    Be direct. Say that you find her attractive and were wondering whether she is single. Why waste time? If she says she is single, then you need to ask her to get a coffee/soda (whatever) when she gets off the clock tonight (not SOME night, she might lie and then bail). But any woman who admits to being single is a decent prospect, otherwise why would she offer that info, see?

    hmm.. she might not be interested if she said "i am not on the clock yet" that seems like a diss to me, but you never know.. perhaps you should ask her some "gym" questions about machines or something, then maybe say how you admire a woman who likes to stay in shape and be active

    I'd play it cool for a bit so she doesn't think you're a creep. Just see her and smile and give it a couple times before you approach her again.
