According to the results, the best technique for flirting in the gym is to ‘just smile and try to make conversation’ while the least popular flirting method is to ‘stare at them’

82% of people are flattered when they’re shown some romantic attention in the gym, while women have a higher success rate flirting (57%) than men (50%) but over half are too shy to give it a go.

The best technique was voted as ‘just smile and try to make conversation’ with over half of respondents (57%) saying this was the preferred way to meet someone, followed by ‘make friends in common to talk to them’ (14%).

The University of Bath, celebrity mathematician Rachel Riley and the dating website eHarmony, found that talking to people in the gym increases your odds of finding 'the one' by 15%. This agrees with the study which found trying to make conversation the best flirting technique.
