Sarcasm is your best friend here.
People go to the gym to work out, and chances are.. that if you like some girl at the gym.... she's not there to meet other people.. (like you)..
We can't tell you to memorize an entire conversation, and repeat that to her, only because you're not paying me to.. but.. we can tell you this.. which is really the most important part..
How to start a conversation..
i. Look over to her and say, "2 more minutes and i'll finally burn off that tick-tack I had for lunch.. What about you?"
You can't possibly fail! It's not like you're going to take your C.P.A. exam.
Relax! You're only telling a joke, and getting the conversation started. The most she can do (least she can do), is to just laugh and not respond to you.
Now, where others may see this as her telling you to (fcuk off), I see this as her testing you to see (how badly does this guy really want me?)
So, if she's trying to pull the (ignore card) on you, you can say something like..
ii. "(Laugh), Wow!, someone looks guilty, what on earth did YOU eat? Really big tick-tack huh?"
The conversation is due for some smooth sailing.. there are some minor exceptions to this however. You will fail if the following takes place..
i. She has just underwent intensive psychotherapy for being anorexic.
ii. Her boyfriend shows up.
iii. Her lesbian lover shows up.
iv. It's not her lesbian lover, and you were flirting with a guy this whole time.
If nothing of that sort happens.. You still want her number.. (choice is yours)..
i. If she's really hot, guys ask her for her number all the time, she's used to the drill, give out some random digits, and never plan of talking to you ever again..
(the plan) - Don't ask for her number. Check the time on your cell phone, and tell her that it was nice chatting, and that you'll see her around next time she has an other huge tick-tack.. Watch as you start to get your stuff together to leave, and she quickly asks you for your number (to meet up sometime, go running, and other ways that women usually ask guys out)..
ii. She's cute, but still can't cause a traffic accident for her own life.. She's met some cute guys herself, but is still flattered when a guy asks her for her number.
(the plan) - Don't be an @ss. You can still be cool without the bad-@ss act. "Well, if you're not doing anything this weekend, I know a great place we can grab something to eat, finish it off with an other huge tick-tack, and burn it off at (name an other place you want to take her to)". Then, "Here's my number".
I know what you're thinking. (I didn't even get her number!)
Yeah, that tends to bother alot of guys. But here is a simple rule in business. If you give someone the chance to tell you NO!, Then you are setting yourself up to hear... you guessed it.. NO!
You told her to give you a call, and that "here's my number". It's implicit that you're asking her out. It's flattering, she can give you her number on the spot, but if she doesn't, she WILL call you back, even if it's to say that she won't be able to make it. There's really no direct pressure, but the little indirect pressure works in your favor on this one, and there's still something sexy about it.
