should i talk to my gym crush? i feel like its weird to approach people at the gym
I mean I'm not saying you shouldn't but it really needs some thought for how you will do it otherwise it can be highly inappropriate very quickly.
Yea i feel exactly the same, i definitely think its not the place to do that but i dont really want to let this pass.
I guess that is just a result of the online society we live in. People used to meet eachother in places like the gym or the supermarket or wherever normal. Nowadays people get startled if you strike up random convo's. As long as you are not a total creep about it then it should be fine.
Do they act approachable? people usually give hints if theyre open to chatting. If they wear earbuds or something it usually means they want to be left alone for example. If there arent any red flags like that to tell you not to bother them just start simple and see how they react. Say good morning as you walk by, smile and wave, but don't try to start a full blown convo. See how they react. Do they seem startled, uncomfortable, or nervous? Probably leave them alone. Do they smile back and return the greeting happily? Thats a good sign. Maybe next time you see them say something like, "Hey! Seems like were always here at the same time. You work nights too?" If at any point they give signs like, short non-commital answers, looking around and not at you, being annoyed nervous etc, they dont wanna talk and you should say bye and go do your own thing.
Talking is a good way to start.
