writes:I recently started weighttraining with a guy friend (older gentleman) at the gym, and there is one particular guy.I told my workout buddy (harry) that i think the guy's cute, and he's trying to help me break the ice with him. Because of Harrys help, we've talked a few times. The first time, the cute guy (i dont even know his name) asked me if i was still using the machine i had my towel on, and i said no and apologized. I went to go put away my dumbells and harry started talking to him. When I returned, i joined the conversation. Yesterday, i saw him again and harry asked him if there was someone who wanted to use that machine he was on. He said there's a line. When i passed by, he said hi to me, and i smiled and said hi back. That could have been because i was staring while i walked by... I don't know. I saw him again today, but i didn't get a chance to talk to him. I think i saw him look at me? I didn't see him when i first got there, but i turned around some time later and saw him. He was looking in my direction, but I don't know if he was looking at me. I pretended i didn't see him, but i should have said hi... ugh!He works out with a bunch of friends, so its a little intimidating to go up and start talking to him.How do I get his attention more? Id like to get to know him, but am a little intimidated. Reply to this Question

 The thing is when it comes to men, they really are clueless and are not mind readers. If you like the look of him and want to get to know him then you need to get the confidence to do so because he is probably clueless and doesn't even notice the attention you are giving him.
I would start by asking his advice on something, men love it when women ask for their opinion. Maybe ask him something about fitness, and ask him would he help you achieve it? Introduce yourself, be confident and slowly get to know him.

 Try the ignore. Don't look at him and see if he comes over to you.
Failing that, you could go for the classic, tripping over into his arms routine that actually works. You just scammed a free hug.
And failing that, a shared interest. See what he likes and talk about it. He will always chat to you if he thinks it will be a fun chat.
