Yes, it might mean going to a gym that's a little more out of your way, or paying double gym dues if your current membership is prepaid, but it'll make cruising easier and more worry-free for you. Maybe some of the DC posters here can tell you which ones those are - or look and see which gyms advertise in the Washington Blade. If you have a tough time telling who's gay, I'd suggest making things easier on yourself by joining a gay gym. I would not try any obvious physical moves while you're in the shower or sauna, since anyone can see what's going on, and you could get a not so friendly reaction (from him or the gym staff). Once you're dressed, you can go up to him and ask "Hey, how's it going?". Then you kind of have to time yourself so you get dressed at about the same time. In the shower or sauna, you'll have to go by visual cues. If he IS interested, you'll know quite quickly (the touching will be unimistakeably not accidental). If he's not interested, his foot or thigh will jerk away. Just let your foot "accidentally" touch his (or your pinky "accidentally" touch his thigh). In a jacuzzi or steam room, it's fairly simple. Well, you don't want to be too discreet or you'll miss out. >steam rooms and showers are in the mix, so have a ball! >Suggestions, tips, comments, let's hear'em. How can you discretely imply that you're interested
