well, based on what you've posted about so far, he sounds unsure of himself... insecure on some levels... that can seem charming on some levels or it can mean he's carrying around some internal baggage... if you looked my way in a gym, i would give you the biggest smile you've ever seen...
... if he continues looking away when you catch him looking at you, i would approach him and say "hi, i'm dreamline... i notice you in the gym all the time but we've never had the chance to meet one another" and reach out your hand... the dude will not turn you away, instead he'll introduce himself and the conversation will go from there... if you have any anxieties about it yourself, you can already have a plan laid out on what you two can discuss... to keep it on target in the beginning you could talk about the gym itself since you have that in common... things you like about, try not to come off negative about it, keep it positive... you could tell him why you come to the gym, what your goals are... i'm sure he'll be more then willing to share his ideas with you... you don't even have to talk about the gym... the possibilities are endless because the world is such a huge place... yeah, if you approached me in the gym and said hi, i'd probably scare you away because i wouldn't stop talking...
after you feel him out and you still are impressed you could invite him out for coffee... i've had many women approach me who tried to pick me up... it's been a progressive world for quite awhile now girl, so don't let anything stop you if you feel this strongly about him... a confident man will totally admire a confident woman... what's the worst that could happen? really? he's not going to turn you away... believe this... you have alot going for yourself and he'll pick up on this right away and he'll think to himself, "hmmmm, i was right about this chick... she is everything i thought that she would be"... seriously, this is going to be a win for you...
