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?

Firstly you need to shed your inferiority complex and gain confidence on your outlook which is the way you look at things. You will not progress if you keep worrying how you are being looked at

It doesn't matter if you are skinny or plumpy, but what matters is how your spirit is and how they feel in your company.

It's an online world. So don't be picky and waste time. Instead get to know as many and improve your ability to converse. That way you will be able to hold a conversation even when you run out of content.

Be secretive and don't believe in hearsay. When you get to know someone pretend as if you know nothing and let them say what they have to say. Don't say "I thought you were dating x" or have you broken up etc.. you focus on your relationship.

And instead of working on your physique, work more on your intellect and wit. Create versions of jokes to render in your own way. Making girls laugh is a great talent that many lack.
