I thought some cute chick at the gym was smiling and waving at me. I almost reacted, then thought better, turned around, and saw the real target of her attention.

Thats definitely one of the most awkward moments. I've done that before and have felt like a total ass.

It's only ever the older gentlemen that are actually looking. I wish I was gay, i could have several sugardaddies

It's all just very complex. We make eye contact all the time. Surveying the surroundings, I'm the only one she could be looking at because of the layout of the gym. Its not one of those deals where she's likely just staring into space, because she has to turn her head to her left to look in my direction. As I've descended down the stairs after my workout, I've done the casual look back in her direction and found her looking at me; this requires her to turn her head to the right a full 90 degrees. I see a number of possible outcomes from me approaching her;

1.) She doesn't dig me, and I've created all of this in my head. I'd say there's a 40% chance of this.
2.) She totally digs me and begs me for my baby batter. I'd say there's a 20% chance of this.
3.) She flirts with me, but she has a boyfriend, he doesn't go to the gym, she wishes he did, but she won't break up with him to diddle around with some guy from the gym. I'd say there's a 30% chance of this
4.) It turns out she is as intelligent as a paperweight and we have nothing in common, thus ruining my entire image of her. I'd say there's a 10% chance this is true.

So, the way I see it, my upside is 20%, the total downside is 50%, and the "well, it sucks because she digs me but wont do anything about" angle is 30%.

I like my gym. I really like it. Its close to my house, its very clean, its very state of the art. I don't want to initiate conversation, have it blow up, and then be super awkward for the remainder of my 3+ months I have on my membership. Its just a really delicate, complex situation.

Sheesh, Floppy. I think you're waaaaaay over analyzing this situation. Actually this brings to mind a couple of lines from my all time favorite Tool song:

Withering my intuition, leaving all these opportunities behind.

Just say hello, man.

I wonder if Woody's wife knows about this...

Far too simplistic, not happening, at least not yet.

She took the politically correct route by saying she's from New York and not going to get into that. I talked to her later and she said her boyfriend is from Philly so he'd be on my side.

Build her a cake.

Say hi next time you first "accidentally" have eye contact.
The next few times you see each other, the "hi's" should continue.
Then, it's an easy next step to something as simple as a comment or question related to the gym or equipment.

Take the first step!

IF SHE'S WORKING OUT WITH A FRIEND DON'T I REPEAT DON'T ASK HER ALOUD, "ARE YOU SPOTTING?"
