Love: Today, I was at the gym and I saw a really cute guy working out...

Today, I was at the gym and I saw a really cute guy working out nearby. I tried to get his attention by taking off my shirt and smiling at him. When he walked over to me, instead of asking for my number, he just said "Can you please put that back on? Thanks". FML

Today, I was at work when a cute guy came up to me and said he liked my shirt. In a desperate attempt to say something back, I said, "Thanks, I like your shoelaces." FML

Today, I went to the gym with two of my friends expecting to pay a guest fee but the cute guy working at the front desk let me in for free. On the way out after working out I started to flirt with him and he said, "Don't flatter yourself, I just let you in because I'm lazy." FML

Today, I exchanged numbers with this guy in the McDonald's drive-thru. When he asked why I gave him my number I told him I thought he had a nice smile. When I asked him the same question, he responded with "I just thought you had a nice rack". FML

Today, I had a very good-looking guy ask for my number while I was at work, but due to our policies I had to turn him down. FML

Today, I was having lunch at a cafe. There was an attractive guy looking at me from another table. I smiled back and gave a little wink. A minute later he approached me. I introduced myself and asked if he wanted my number. He said, "Um, no but what are you eating? It looks really good" FML

Today, I was finishing my chest workout at the gym when this really cute girl started using the machine next to me. To impress her, I tried lifting a lot of weight on the barbell. It ended up landing on my neck and she had to help me get it off. FML

Today, while out for lunch, a guy approached me and asked for my number. I politely declined. To my dismay, he dropped to his knees, grabbed his head, and started moaning about how nobody ever gives him a chance. I felt the accusing stares. FML

Today, the really cute guy who asked for my number last night texted me. He wanted to know if he could get my friend's number, because he'd been too shy to ask her directly. FML

Today, I went to the grocery store. I saw a very cute guy in the aisle and smiled. He smiled back and blushed a little. He walked over and I flirted with him. He said, "I thought you should know the zipper on your jeans is down" and walked away. It was. FML

Today, I went shopping. At the counter, the cashier started flirting with me and asked me for my number. He was cute, so I gave it to him. After walking out of the store, I got a text that said, "I didn't want to say it out loud, but your pants are unzipped." FML

It's true, trying to impress anyone is an instant YDI. However, he had no right to tell you to put your shirt back on. It's your shirt, I'm assuming you are either male or had a sports bra on underneath and were not breaking and public indecency rules, so he was entirely out of line. Next time, tell him no.

Maybe he was married and didn't want you to tempt him.

Ouch! But I think the best way to impress someone at the gym is with your workout skills. Get on the leg press or something and pump some serious weight. Or maybe do some stretches that show off your flexibility. You don't need to reveal all your assets. Just leave him intrigued.

"hahhaha #26 is hilarious, and yeah I completely agree with #22 and 23. Guys sometimes walk by me at the gym multiple times and look at me out of the corner of their eyes.. It's hard to fully concentrate on my workout because I'm thinking about how stupid my facial expression looks while i'm running or doing ab workouts or whatever. Leave the impressing for the parking lot after." True. Once a staff member at my gym called me into his office in the middle of my workout to ask me out. It made me a little uncomfortable, and I didn't appreciate being pulled away from my workout, as I hadn't come to the gym to pick up guys. I was supposed to come back after my workout was done to talk to him, but I managed to slip out before he noticed. I didn't go back to that gym for a long time. But to be honest, I wouldn't have minded so much if I were attracted to the guy. I mean, I scope out guys all the time at the gym. It's a nice incentive to work out. But I don't bother them; I just gaze from across the room. ;)

People go to the gym to work out, not to pick up chicks, and they don't like being distracted by people taking their shirts off. At my local gym, there's a rule that says you have to wear a shirt or vest at all times in the gym area so you're not putting people off their routine.

A lot of women think gyms are places to hook up. Guys don't think so, apparently?

I hate when people take their shirts off at the gym. either their body is great and I feel jealous, or it's not so great and it's an eyesore. better safe than sorry; keep your shirt on.
