So I decided I would post this one as it is raining and I have nothing else to do.
I went to my nearest gym today, situated in the town where I live rather than my local approaching city.
It was high time that I did a gym approach because I hadn't done one for ages.
The spotlight effect was low because I am hardly ever in my local branch of this gym I'm in so I don't feel like I will be recognised as a creep.
Anyway, I see this brunette with a septum ring doing deadlifts so I open with "are you doing back day today, so am I" and she says "actually I would class this under legs".
This I would estimate to be a 7 minute interaction.
So I find out where she is from and it turns out she is Hong Kong-Canadian. It's unusual in my local town as it's not as cosmopolitan as my small daygame city where I usually gym.
She has a Canadian accent and is dressed nicely with a nice upper top. We do some more chit chat but it is awkward, I'm not really feeling a vibe. Something is off, it's too performative and neither of us seem that interested.
At some point she tells me her name and I offer mine. It turns out, she is working there as a PT.
I push myself and ask if she wants to hang out to which she replies that we could train together which I take as a soft rejection and tell her I'm not really in that gym too often, which is true.
I then use this to wrap up the interaction and tell her I need to start my workout.
The approach in general felt forced and I didn't really settle into it. I could feel my Asperger's coming through, despite the fact that she was a pleasant girl.
Maybe I shouldn't have asked to hang but there are conflicting opinions on this. On one hand, some would say by all means, always be closing.
On the other hand, despite her being attractive, I was not feeling a primal vibe to ravage her like I should have been feeling.
I almost talked myself out of the approach but I haven't done a gym approach in such a long time, so I am glad I did!
But it was just a weird interaction, I think maybe there was something missing. I did say a couple of weird things that might have been perceived negatively such as "Oh, people from different places don't really come here that often". I was nervous and struggling for banter.
