7 . Make eye contact
Cruising happens in glances : averted , held , direct , passing . There is an art to glancing that can ’ t be taught . Mastering the perfect glance takes practice .
Don ’ t hold the eye contact for too long unless you ’ re getting signals that he ’ s cruising you back ( a half smile while scanning your body is a good sign ).
8 . Ask him to spot you
Some cruise queens say this move is way too bold . I disagree . You ’ re asking him to be your spotter , not your boyfriend . Having a spotter is useful , particularly if you ’ re lifting heavy weight .
Don ’ t ask him to spot every set for a particular lift . That ’ s rude and inconsiderate . However , if you want to go up in weight on your last set and if he ’ s nearby , ask him to spot you . It ’ s a great way to get him to look at you up close .
9 . Always be courteous and polite
Nothing is more unattractive than a dickish dude who doesn ’ t respect gym etiquette . It ’ s an automatic turnoff . Don ’ t leave dumbbells lying on the floor . Re-rack your weights . When you ’ re finished , wipe off the equipment . Don ’ t hog machines .
10 . Leave your phone in your locker
Stay off your phone . Not only will this make you more present and attentive ( and make you aware if someone is cruising you ), but it will also keep you from sitting and texting on a machine that someone is waiting to use ( see “ gym jerk ” above ).
11 . Be friendly
If he talks to you , engage with him authentically . Tell him your name . Ask him about a lift you saw him doing , even if you know how to do it already . Guys love talking about their “ unique ” lift , what muscle groups it works , and how their “ trainer friend ” taught them how to do it . Everyone has a gym story they like to tell . I certainly do .
Be charming . Don ’ t call him “ bro .” Do not immediately ask to suck his dick . Remember that some guys aren ’ t cruising , they ’ re just friendly .
