Hey guys, I made another gym approach(wasn’t really intended) but it did result in good conversation + instagram, she never responded to my message, must have did something wrong.

On Monday, I asked this girl at the squat rack how many sets she had left, she said 1, but she didn’t feel like doing it. I told her she can’t give up on her set, and I actually convinced her to do her set.

While she was doing her set, I saw her name on her ID, and told her “good job [her name] to which she asked how I know her name. I said 2 reasons, “I’m a psychic, and much less important, but it’s on ur ID” traded a couple lines of convo, but mostly just introduced ourselves.

Today, as I was walking to my car, I saw her, and waved hi to her, she thought she recognized me from years ago, I told her we met at the gym 2 days ago, I wouldn’t have remembered you from that long ago.

Asked her about her workout, and seeded the idea of us possibly working out in the future together, by saying that “I like following people’s workouts sometimes” told her today wasn’t the day, since I didn’t want to do cardio.

Turns out we’re both going to the gym, so I actually ask for her instagram, to remember her, which she agrees.

Most of the time in the gym we’re doing different things, we wave to each other once.

Near the end of my workout I go up to her and ask her if I should hit abs, or skip them, to which she tells me I should hit them. I then ask her to work in, since she has my ab setup already. I also tease her by saying she sounds like me from a few days ago.

We then talk about a bunch of things, such as dieting, meals, and my study abroad travels. She tells me she’s Irish, and I tell her I was in Dublin for St Patrick’s Day, and that I got a ton of stories, to tell her some other time, to which she did want to hear(seed possible meetup reason). Eventually, we break off conversation, and I finish my workout.

Something to note, I didn’t touch her during the interactions, other than a fist bump today, didn’t really close space between me and her, don’t like to get too close to people in the gym during their workout though.

DM’d her on instagram, saying a nice to meet you, as well as some callback humor, she never opened it. The thing is we usually go to the gym around the same time, so I will see her soon, maybe it’s possible she didn’t check her DM’s. If so, I’ll ask for the number, after seeding a possible meetup plan next time, something more concrete, since she was super interested in my travels.

Any other advice you guys can give me would be much appreciated, going up to girls and having good interactions with them is pretty easy for me right now, daygame wise, following up with them via text seems to be tougher, and getting them out, even though I am following the GC articles on texting.

Maybe I am not making a strong enough impression? Please let me know if you guys think this is the case.

You did a lot of things really well! Sounds like both of you were having fjn

Giving her a reason to add her on Instagram «to remember you» counterproductive.

better would have been to ask her right then and there if she wants to work out some day. The agree on a date and time right there.

Say as you’re leaving as something you thought of «let me take your number in case something comes up» like as an afterthought.

Instagram dms are weak imo
Depends on profile but most girls I add on Instagram don’t reply I don’t know you get lumped in with all the other guys who dm her and she gets dmed alot

the right date makes getting her back home a piece of cake

Yeah, I should have made a more concrete plan rather than simply seeding the idea

Id like to think my instagram profile is decent, nothing special though.

I’m going to see her again, so I can easily course correct and plan something concrete, based on the number of things I seeded.

Thanks for the advice, just need to clean that last bit up.
