Answer 1

One of the challenges you face is that people who are jogging (or in the midst of any exercise routine) may not really want to interrupt their routine for a conversation: doing so throws off their pace and also can cause the body to stiffen up, get chilled, etc. If you happen to know where he starts or ends his run, that would be the easiest place for him to chat.

Otherwise, begin to say hello to him as he runs by. A nice smile, and a warm hello. Commenting on the weather is always a safe way to verbalize without being pushy (nice night, great weather to be outside, etc).

If you're up for it, ask him if he's got time for a quick question, and then tell him you've been thinking about taking up a little running yourself, and could he recommend a good brand of shoe (the most important thing!)...or a good store to buy your gear at, how to begin a running schedule, etc.

And then...think about taking up running yourself, if you're interested...he'll begin to look at you a little differently then, and it would provide the segue for some follow up 'newbie' questions.

If the interest or curiosity is mutual, this should be enough to get off the ground. Good luck!

Answer 2

Simply walk up to him and say hello I'm (whatever your name is) i have noticed you jogging a few times and I thought i might as well strike up a conversation. then just go from there if he's interested he will gladly talk to you if not no big loss. Take the chance. I've found that people never regret taking a risk or a chance even if it doesn't turn out the way they want, a person only regrets never taking that chance.

Answer 3

Well you could ask him where he jogs to or if he knows any great shoe places to get new jogging sneakers. If those don't work jog over to him and ask if he wants jogging partner. If he doesn't then just ask him his name and say see you around and hopefully someone you know has his number and then you are good to go.

Answer 4

I am in a similar predicament myself at college with a girl, but I would advise to ask why he is jogging, like if he is doing it for a sporting or charity event (jogging is a good subject because you know it is one of his hobbies) or just say you have seen him jogging and introduce yourself. what is the worst that could happen? and good luck. remember if you dont know him, you have nothing to lose.

Also, if anyone could please help with my question in love I would be very gratefull, search 'grand gesture' or click my name for more details.

Answer 5

You could stop him and ask him a work out question.... i.e how do you get faster at running at strike up a conversation.

Answer 6

you dont look desperate with any question asked unless you pop the question, you know, ask anything i quite frequently ask questions of ladys i see and 99% of the time get a good response i say just do it and dont worry do it

Answer 7

just say hi everyday.
eventually he will stop one day.

if all else fails. trip him.

but really saying hi is the only thing you should have to do.

Answer 8

Just ask him where he is from and just talk to him like you talk to anyone else, I mean he is not going to bite you

Answer 9

Find some common interset you both have and start talking!

Answer 10

just have a normal conversation with him and see where it goes
