-15 DIRECT approaches in 3 months -5 numbers -1 date 2 potential dates š¤ 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 itās a rejection. Patience is key because you need to wait for an optimal opening; donāt approach while sheās literally getting her sets in. When sheās 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 didnāt join her on that day. Iāve managed to evade this so far. Today was a close call, but I waited at least 20 min. Strategic. Sheās on the treadmill going on a slow walk. She has no earphones on and isnāt looking at her phone. Excellent opening and sheās definitely not going anywhere 𤣠Cautious. The gym is my sanctuary. If Iām going to approach here, she needs to be worth it and I canāt be embarrassing myself with a miscalculated, poorly articulated approach. Thatās why Iāve 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 donāt want to make It akward if the date(s) donāt go well. I donāt recommend starting at the gym until youāre fully committed. Additionally, you may not want to approach here at all if youāre cautious about things being awkward in the future. Hopefully you work out at a big gym, plenty of space to hide š š„ cheers
