Ladies...looking for input

Ok so let me preface this with stating that I am in no way the guy that is always trying to pick up girls at the gym. In fact, I don't think I've ever spoken to anyone of the opposite gender while at the gym except the staff.

That being said, recently I've noticed an attractive girl that goes around the same time to the gym that has been using the treadmill and appears to be quiet the runner. I also noticed more recently that she actually runs to the gym as well. I only noticed this because she runs past my place usually as I am getting into my car to drive to the gym...oops...she actually went past me as I was standing in my driveway getting my music going yesterday on her way home. I am thinking "wow this girl likes to run...A LOT" Possible running partner?

My question is this: What is your recommended method of approach to introduce myself and inquire about her running, while not making her think I am coming on to her or trying to pick her up? I'd like to see if she's interested in doing some long runs together...


Thoughts?

Next time she runs past your house, get in your car and drive along slowly behind her and follow her back to her house.

A restraining order is a great ice-breaker ;)

Well I thought about starting to run down to the gym and timing my departure with the time she typically passes my place. That would be an ice breaker...oh you go here too? haha.

Following her home...not so much...
 
How good are you at running? No point timing your run to bump into her if you can't keep up

If you're good though, sign up to a competition and go running at the gym wearing the competition t-shirt. She might be impressed and more open to talking to someone with a common interest
 
well i ran 10 miles at a 10:30 pace last weekend....i usually run my short runs at 9 min/mi.

I have plenty of 5K shirts to advertise my interest in running. haha
 
Okay FF,
Since so many LADIES are in here giving you GOOD advice, let me give you some too.

I would maybe contact her at the gym when she is not on the treadmill (like before or after her cardio) and just casually and nicely say that you love to run and noticed her in the gym a few times running....and you'd like to know if she has any interest in a running partner. I think, if she's really cool, she would not be offended as long as you arent drooling over her as you are speaking.

I think that's the best approach. Good luck!!
 
While you are driving behind her, blast the song, baby got back" or "Me soo horny." Once she is at the gym, she is trap so you can go up to her and tell her that ass gotta be jelly because jam don't shake like that. Then proceed to ask if she is a vet, because these python are sick (do a double front bicep pose). Finally, as Kraken says, Present her with your unit.

Oh, and if she denies you in any form which I HIGHLY doubt, follow her home. She can't hide forever you know. I suggest running because she can sneak into alleyways that car cannot get into. Once that is all done, can you say hi to BUBBA for me? He is really nice and uses lube (your salvia).

Seriously though. Just go up to her and say, "hi".. That is the greatest pickup line, ever.
 
Chicks love when you get them wet with come-on lines. I would tell her "it's too hot out here for you and the sun at the same time" then spray her in the face with a water hose.

You answered your own question ;)

Chat her up a couple of times at the gym, don't talk too long, keep it short so she doesn't think you're going to stalk her :D, and then ask her if she's interested in doing some long runs together because you would really like to have her as a running partner because you noticed she runs a lot.

Just be honest with her, Steve. That's a lot more impressive.
 
Say hi, introduce yourself, and tell her that you're impressed that she runs past you as you go to drive yourself to the gym. Continue running based conversation from there by asking for pointers as she obviously knows what she's doing or to suggest a decent running trail in the area.

Edit: Then present unit.

You can go up to her and ask if she would be interested in doing alternative fun excercise to burn calories. If she bits, tell her, "Lets go ****"
 
Lovin all the WOMANLY advice here.

First of all, I'm glad you're NOT that guy who goes to the gym to pick up on the gals. I hate that kind of guy.

Does she have a certain treadmill she frequents? If she does you should find yourself on the one next to that one at the gym sometime. When she gets on or off the thing just casually comment on her running and then ask her if she's currently training for anything. This will probably lead into a conversation about how you are training for a marathon...and blah blah. Before you ask her about hooking up to do long runs you might want to ask her what pace she runs at. If it looks like a match throw in the long run possibility. I'd think if shes running TO the gym and then AT the gym, shes probably going faster than 10:30 pace-but its worth a go!

Thanks CB. Yes there seems to be a lot of gender confusion at the moment.
