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!
I can't. She has to.
Phph--why do I think you don't have a sister? No matter how beautiful she is, she is still just another person. If you say hi she will not automatically think "He's hitting on me", she'll just think you're a nice, friendly guy. The exception to this is if she's a total egomaniac, completely infatuated with herself. In that case, everytime you look at her she thinks you're crazy about her, and if she's that egomaniacal and shallow, you wouldn't be happy with her anyway.
You sound like a very nice guy, I promise if you start with the simple "hi" as though you have no intention of saying more than that (at first), it won't be long before "hi" turns into a little bit of conversation and then you can take it from there.
Forget the worries about a possible boyfriend.
If she's in a serious long term relationship, she's not likely to drop her boyfriend for you, but it also does NOT mean she never expects to speak to other guys, including that nice friendly guy at the gym.
If she's unattached, she's probably writing on a message board somewhere about this cute guy at the gym she doesn't have the nerve to talk to.
If she's in a casual dating kind of thing--he could become history at any moment.
Saying hi will not result in you having to leave this local, paid for, convenient gym and it might get you in great conversations with a girl you're crazy about.....
Scarlett couldn't be more right about everything in this post. Nothing bad could possibly come from just saying hi.
