-15 DIRECT approaches in 3 months -5 numbers -1 date 2 potential dates 🤞 I can confidently say that the gym is a good place to approach. However, you need to be patient, strategic, and cautious. The approach needs to end on a good note, especially if it’s a rejection. Patience is key because you need to wait for an optimal opening; don’t approach while she’s literally getting her sets in. When she’s waiting for a machine is ideal. Additionally, you may want to wait half an hour or approach on another day (or week, or month). She may have a boyfriend nearby or he just didn’t join her on that day. I’ve managed to evade this so far. Today was a close call, but I waited at least 20 min. Strategic. She’s on the treadmill going on a slow walk. She has no earphones on and isn’t looking at her phone. Excellent opening and she’s definitely not going anywhere 🤣 Cautious. The gym is my sanctuary. If I’m going to approach here, she needs to be worth it and I can’t be embarrassing myself with a miscalculated, poorly articulated approach. That’s why I’ve been pacing myself at the gym. My confidence is much better now than in April. I wanted some of my best work to be at the gym. The gym is also an intimidating place, making the approach more delicate. Lastly, you don’t want to make It akward if the date(s) don’t go well. I don’t recommend starting at the gym until you’re fully committed. Additionally, you may not want to approach here at all if you’re cautious about things being awkward in the future. Hopefully you work out at a big gym, plenty of space to hide 🙈 🥂 cheers
