What's a smooth way to start talking to a girl without making it weird?

Hey everyone,
I'm reaching out to ask for some advice. I live in a pretty small village somewhere in Europe. Last summer, I spotted a beautiful girl at an event in our village. When the opportunity came, I didn’t hesitate and went to talk to her — we chatted for a bit, though it really only lasted a few minutes. My communication with girls wasn’t the best at the time (and honestly, it’s still not great when I’m talking to someone I really like), so it didn’t go anywhere. Later, I found out she had a boyfriend back then, so I didn’t dwell on it too much.

Since then, I’ve worked on myself — I used to be quite skinny, but that’s changed. I started working out, gained some weight and I’ve even received a few nice compliments from girls about my physique, which made me really happy.

I’ve seen this girl a few times since then at the gym I go to. Each time, it’s only been a quick “hi.” Maybe I’m just imagining things but during our first encounter at the gym, I noticed her looking at me multiple times - and I’m talking about glances that lasted several seconds, not just the usual quick looks.

I know her name and I’ve been thinking about messaging her on Facebook. The thing is, I’m not sure if it’s a good idea.

I have no clue if she’s currently in a relationship and if she is, I don’t want to come across as weird or end up wasting a potential opportunity. What would you suggest — how should I approach this?

My take? I think chatting women up inside a gym isn't the call. Nor is randomly messaging someone you don't know.
Don't forget. Women can approach men too. And they will if they're interested.
Plotting out 'strategies' puts an unnecessary pressure on something that should be pressure-free. Like finds like. Letting things happen organically, when it comes to relationships, is most definitely the better call.
So I personally wouldn't give any kind of "goal" a second thought. If it's meant to be then you'll end up talking some day and you can take it from there. And if you don't then you don't.
Good luck.
