A little background first…..
This new gym has opened up near my apartment so I’ve been going there since its grand opening in January. When I first started, I noticed this HB8.5 who works there as a sales rep. I usually don’t like to pick up chicks at the gym since I go there to get my workout in and not for the social aspect of it, so I never went for an approach.
Anyway, so my friend who also goes there, began dating a girl whose friends with this HB8.5. He told me that the HB8.5 has complained to his new girlfriend that she cant find a guy and that all the guys she meets are jerks, etc. So one day my friend and his girlfriend are at the gym and they tell her about me and say that she should meet me (at this time I didn’t know what they were doing). So they have this computer system at the gym where they have a picture of each member for security reasons so the HB8.5 asked them my name so she can look at my picture.
A couple of days later I’m at the gym working out with my friend and he tells me that he wants to hook me up with the HB8.5. He told me that he showed her my picture and that she said I was hot and she noticed me from back when I started. He said he will introduce me to her and I said fine, but he recently got a new job and hasn’t been going to the gym at the same time as me so im on my own with the approach.
This was last week and I haven’t seen her since then so I haven’t made the approach. I’m sure I will see her this week and I want to talk to her. Tell me what you guys think of this (remember, we have never spoken to each other):
Me: Hey how’s it going
Her: hi (or whatever)
Me: So I hear you’ve been a) dying to meet me or b) dying to talk to me (said with a sly smirk)
Her: (either laughs, makes a playful response, or slaps me across the face)
Do you guys think this is a good approach or does it come off as trying too hard??? I’ve used this twice in similar situations before with success, bc it usually sets a playful tone to the conversation and makes it seem like she is chasing me. I think this might work even better in this situation, bc the interest is there and we both know that our friends are trying to set us up. Do you guys have any other suggestions that are better??
