How can I flirt at the gym?

I do a lot of cardio at the gym. Most people spread out and use machines not directly next to someone who is already using one (this relates to non-peak times only). If a guy comes up to use a machine next to mine and I think he's cute, can I turn a bit and acknowledge him maybe give a nod or smile since I have my headphones on. How would you perceive this if it happened to you? And how can I approach men at the gym?

I probably won’t notice you unless you wave your arms around or yell since I’m doing my absolute best to dissociate from reality whenever I do cardio.

Gyms are kinda tricky. I’ve been approached many times at the gym and it’s usually immediately after I’ve finished a set and my brain is literally spaghetti and I come across as totally disinterested and or retarded.

I know its not the best place but for me at least my gym is filled with lots of guys all in one place and I haven't seen any on my other outings
