Getting Her to Notice Me

Dear Rabbi Boteach,
 I am finding myself truly smitten with a woman at the club where I exercise.  Not only does she look cute in sweats, but I can tell by our brief interactions that she is bright and funny.   I know from a mutual friend that she has been in an abusive marriage and
has been out of it for a year. How do I get her to notice me, or better yet, be interested in me?

Dear Bench,

 

Women love men who aren’t intimidated by them. So, just walk up to her and talk to her. Smile and be friendly. Don’t push. Show that you are available to her if she wishes to unburden herself. But if you lack the confidence to introduce yourself, ask a friend to make the initial introduction. Be cheerful, empathetic, and confident. You’ll immediately know if she reciprocates your interest. If she is not initially interested, you will get her to be interested by always being friendly, even if she is not. Don’t let her ignoring you wear you down. Keep on smiling and being helpful. Offer to do her exercise at the gym for her. Say to her, “Why should pretty old you have to do all those sit-ups when a big strong man like me will do them for you.” Then start doing the sit-ups as she walks off with her male instructor for sex in the sauna. OK, I’m just kidding about that part. But just be cheerful, friendly, and helpful and she will notice.  I guarantee it.

 

All the best,

 

Rabbi Boteach
