You see I have been advised to say this but I am just worried as I am pretty tiny

Not sure I should even be using "free" weights to be honest

Ask him if you can help him load up his bar :sexface:.
Ask him to help you do some weights or if he can suggest something for you to do? Say " you look like you know what you're doing, what do you suggest".

Every time you see him there just smile and say hi.
Ask him if he wants to head to the sauna afterwards :awesome:
Don't bother with an excuse, just talk to him. Job done.

HELP

What excuses can a gal have to talk to guys at the gym? Particularly one who liked me in my first year (I know because my friend watched him try to approach me but I was seeing someone then)

I cannot think of one single reason. Help

Being a passionate weightlifter and male, I'd love to show some girl how to do an exercise.
Just walk up to the guy and ask him:
1) what exercise he was doing and if he could show you how to do it
2) check your form on an exercise
3) "what is a good exercise for .....(muscle)"

If you're even mildly attractive, they'll be more than happy to help you out. I know I would.
accidentally bump into him. say sorry then don't stop yabbering.
Ask for his advice on something in the gym.
How to work a machine?
What weights he'd recommend for your size?
Something like that...

A lot of guys like showing girls how to do things etc.

Then you're talking/working out together...:smile:
See if you can buy a ticket to the Gun show.

yeh but she might come on too strong and if it doesnt work out it could be awkward and they will see each other at the gym after that and there will be more awkwardness.. aaaaaaahhhh!!

Shouldn't this be in fitness?

Some good ideas here
Joined a gym myself and seen some guys I like
just assumed that guys in a gym just wanted to do their workout and wouldn't wanna be approached or spoken to by a girl
Ask him to help you on one of the machines and then get chatting.


....ask him if he has a spare ten minutes to hold your feet down whilst you do sit ups. And ask him if you think you're doing it right. Then ask him to help you stretch your legs by leaning over you and pushing one down towards your stomach, you know like on films.
