The only one that turned into anything was when a girl was waiting for a treadmill, I said something funny when she was trying to use a broken one, I said something else funny later when I told her I was done and she could use mine. Then a week or so later I saw her there, started a mini conversation and asked her out for a beer (I'm not sure if we stayed in our workout clothes and went directly to a bar or cleaned up first). We dated for several months after that. When we broke up, she quit the gym.

I got a chuckle out of that. You won!
