OK, so they who here has actually dated someone they met at the gym?
I think the problem is I don't know what situations are ok to approach some one. For example, last Thursday a large group of us went to dinner. There was a girl eating at another table with her parents and her daughter. No wedding ring, so most likely a single mother. She was cute and I think we may have made casual glances at each other, but that was that. What's appropriate in a situation like that? Do you just walk up, say I'm sorry for interupting your meal but I couldn't help but notice you from across the room. Would you like to get coffee sometime? It just seems so shallow. I don't know. I was never good at meeting women unless one or both of us were drunk.
