Introducing myself to a runner

Easy. Just show him your tits.

Stop him in his tracks and talk to him. Life is too short to be shy. What do you have to lose. NADA!

Lie in wait behind a bush. When he passes, leap out and just go at about 90% VO2 max pace for the next 200m as you introduce yourself.

Unless the guy is happily married, gay or a narcisstic jerk then he won't mind you stopping him. Just ask his advice on places to run, up coming races or where he got his MP3 player. Trust me, it will make most guys day. You can also tell after a couple of minutes if he's got enough game to warrant a date.

Yo i saw this chick in the park today where i was running, she contsnatly checks me out. It freaks me out, she is kinda pudgy, but thats okay. I like to meet new animals.com

No, never stop a competitive runner in his tracks, we hate that. Maybe try to run up beside him. If he's like me he'll slow down so you're able to talk to one another.

Tell him that you know wejo.

I had this chick come up to me while I was doing intervals and she started talking to me:

"What event do you run?" she said.

"I run the mile" I replied.

"How fast can you run it?" She asked.

"My PR is 4:15" I said.

"Wow, that is fast. Are you gonna go to the Olympics?"

"Yes....do you wanna ride home with me after working out and get some milkshakes?"

"Sure, I'd like a ride, but not that kind of ride and we can skip the milkshakes."

Well we went back to my place and we have amazing sex, but she gave me crabs.

Do you drive to this park, and then run? Try and catch him in the parking lot during the stretch before or after the run. Everybody stretches for a few minutes and you can get in at least a few words. You could also do face plant in front of him and hope that he helps.

Lately I've been running through a park for a good portion of my mileage. If you run at a park that contains: a small lake, a stream leading to the lake, two cannons at one end and a recently fallen tree limb that somebody finally chopped up sometime yesterday or today then I might shit myself.

....you probably think this song is about you...

... but wouldn't it be runny as hell

I am a competitive runner, but if a girl (esp. an attractive one) stopped me on a run to introduce herself, I would have to say I wouldn't mind. For one, that would be one heck of a story to tell for years to come. Second, it would make me feel like a big pimp, and my workout would probably get faster afterward.

Run next to him or stop him, but just introduce yourself. I'm a guy and would think it's really cool if a girl did that to me. Just do it, it'll probably be worth it....at the least you'll probably end up with a decent story.

Any guy who is too hung up on himself not to be flattered or grateful for your show of interest is not worth the bother anyway. Most guys have to make the first move and it's not always that easy. Give him a big smile and wave and see if he returns that energy. If he is aloof to that, it would be a microcosm of how stuck on themselves they are. That being said, you have to be fairly smooth about it so it's not too awkward, and if he is raging through a workout you might want to wait for another day.

Or find out what his car is at the trailhead and leave him a note on the windshield. Happened to me once and that was great.

I had someone pull up beside me in a car, and tried to start a conversation.........then they asked me if I would stop and chat for a while.

I refused to stop - it was a guy! Damn f^^.......leave me alone.

You may say im up myself but NO WAY would i do more than say hi, wave, smile to a chick on a run (unless it was a sunday long run), no chick would stand a chance of trying to stop to talk to me whilst on a moderate-hard run. Sure i love it when chicks come and compliment before or after runs but during is a big no, i often see a good looking girl whom i am friends with out walking whilst i am running, she always thinks i am ignoring/snobbing her when i just say hi as i run past. However, i think trying to catch the guy in the parking lot stretching is the best idea. If you always try and stop him on runs when he sees youll hell be thinking "shit, heres that stupid girl that trys to ruin my workouts" and think that your just there to socialise and stuff around, which i hate when i am in a gym and people are stuffing about.

not meaining to start a gender debate here but....

Aren't there womens gyms out there that are built solely so women 'feel safe to workout and not have to worry about being hit on' whilst they are working out. And here we have a women talking about how she wants to distract a guy on a run and hit on him? I must say in my experiences i find women to be alot less focussed and more social whilst at the gym/exercising.

*I'm more so having a go at the stupidity of womens gyms here as opposed to the girl. But i am saying there is a time and a place for flirting.

A Girl,

I suggest trying to talk to him in the parking lot. If he runs there, then you will have to interrupt his run. Ask things like:

"Hey, what team do you run for?"

"What's your event?"

"Do you run any road races?"

Things like that. Any straight guy would love getting stopped by a pretty girl.

Let us know how it goes.
