wmrjw82 Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I hate dating. Wait, scratch that, I hate the beginning part. You know... the part where you haven't actually met the other person yet, but you want to meet them and then you get that nervous feeling in the pit of your stomach because you don't want to look like an ass but you want to get some of that ass at the same time.... lol. Okay, so it's not just about sex, but she's definitely attractive. Met her at my gym. Freakin' HOT. She was next to me today and asked if i was using the machine...said no, she hopped on and went to work. I struck up a conversation with her, started talking about her workout that she just got out of some magazine...anyways...long story short....i got her name she got mine....she walked away said "have a nice workout"...so before i leave the gym i go into the other room where she is working on another machine and said, "i hate to keep bothering you but i just wanted to say that i'm outta here and it was very nice to meet you" she smiled and replied "it was nice meeting you too" i close out by saying maybe i'll see you around sometime (hopefully soon )....felt like a total loser because i kept thinking if this girl was into me she wouldn't have walked away in the beginning right? But I wanted to make some kind of impression on her and let her know that "hint hint" i'm into you.... :p I'm so bad at this ****. It's been about a year since my last serious relationship (2 years) i always find that part the easiest (once you're in it), but i'm kinda shy and reserved and not good with meeting new people. I guess my question is... did I do this right? Should I have been MORE forward and asked her out the first time I met her (today) or was it a good idea to keep it casual and just get to talking with her first all the while leaving her with a good impression of me? Tips? Suggestions? Help a brotha out please
Carmen87 Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I think it was best you didn't ask her out today. Maybe she will start coming on a set schedule and you will see her again. If you do try talking again and if she seems receptive, go ahead and ask if she wants to get dinner or see a movie with you.
Author wmrjw82 Posted May 30, 2008 Author Posted May 30, 2008 thanks for the reply carmen... i definitely plan on talking to her the next time i see her. As for the rest of you... wtf? 53 views and one response? I guess you have to be some cocky wannabe player from new york to get a response on here. lol.......
AriaIncognito Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 Go back to the gym at the same time/day next week. Odds are, if she's interested in "bumping" into you, she'll be back there again too ;-)
AndyW Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I think you did the right thing. I am not very good at the whole asking people out thing either. I am shy and kind of laid back until you get to know me. I think you just wait it out. If she is interested, she will be at the gym and see you again. Maybe then try to strike up a conversation and see if she wants to get dinner some time or a drink.
D-D Posted May 30, 2008 Posted May 30, 2008 I think you did alright. If you see her again and she talks with you then ask her out. I might have asked her out the first time I met her, but I am shy too, so I probably would have done exactly what you did. I can't count the number of times I did something like that and then though, "you idiot....why didn't you get her number"!
