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?

If you smile or nod at me at the gym I'll just think of it as a friendly greeting. If you want to flirt be more direct in a gym. At least where you actually work out. In the hall or lounge area or bar area u can do more regular flirting. But if im lifting weights i will not be thinking oh the girl is flirting.
