Isolde Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I ride the bus daily. I often see cute guys around my age that look dateable, many of which are students. I try to smile and make eye contact, but rarely get acknowledged (in other cities, this often isn't the case). I know the bus is a bad place to start talking to someone, but I feel like this is one of my best opportunities. However, I feel like by initiating conversation I would make a total ass of myself, especially since, it seems like everyone in my city is married at a young age.
CommitmentPhobe Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I've seen this in action on the london underground. Some guy tried to chat a woman up - said "I see you here every...." before he even got to the end of the sentence, cold hard "yes yes yes".... boy was that a bad morning for him But what made it really bad was the dummy had to sit there for another half an hour till he reached his stop So my advice is, if you're gonna do it make sure there's not too far to go Actually I do believe people meet the opposite sex on public transport all the time. There's even a daily section in the underground section full of people trying to get the number of someone they met on the tube a week ago Closest I've got is meeting someone on a plane - now that was cool.
Green Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I meet alot of great girls on the bus in NYC it does take some courage to start up a conversation, but as a girl you wouldn't have to do as much, I mean a guy should figure out he should ask you for you number or something if some girl he thinks is cute just starts talking to him. And if he doesn't ask you for your number or talk with you then who cares he might just be shy... or rejecting u... but thats the worst that can happen. I really hate to think of all your love going to waste day after day
Author Isolde Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 I thought you lived in FL not NY... what a jet setter you are I know, I'd probably get rejected that's the thing... not that I'd care if some stranger rejected me but its not what I need right now Maybe I'll just say hi next time, like casually, as I sit next to a cute guy, but not actually hit on him (I hate hitting on people it feels overly aggressive)
MrMe Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 (I hate hitting on people it feels overly aggressive) As a guy, im going to say "We dont care"
Green Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Getting hit on by girls can be anoying if your not attracted but for the most part even if some fat ugly girl showing open interest of me is a slight ego boost. Make it obvious, if you really like the guy I say you just write your name or number down and give a cute "call me"
MrMe Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Getting hit on by girls can be anoying if your not attracted but for the most part even if some fat ugly girl showing open interest of me is a slight ego boost. Make it obvious, if you really like the guy I say you just write your name or number down and give a cute "call me" x2. Whats the worst that could happen? Worst case scenario is that he isnt attracted to you and he doesnt call....and you have to ride the bus with him in complete awkwardness until you can find another route to school/work.
Author Isolde Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 oh gosh I can't imagine myself doing that. but there is another reason a guy might reject me--if he's taken or married you know...
Green Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 oh gosh I can't imagine myself doing that. but there is another reason a guy might reject me--if he's taken or married you know... haha for you I'd take off my ring and pretend to be single. now stop comming up with excuses and start giving your number out too cute guys... after that its up to them to call you and setup a date that entices you out.
Author Isolde Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 Isolde is on a mission to get a date before Christmas If I can't do that there must truly be something wrong with me
Green Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Why don't you fly out to NYC and vacation with me this winter I'll keep you warm and we can go ride a bus
Author Isolde Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 Why don't you fly out to NYC and vacation with me this winter I'll keep you warm and we can go ride a bus You're pretty cute... okay you're my backup
Green Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 You're pretty cute... okay you're my backup Oh wow, I won't hold my breath then
Author Isolde Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 LOL the truth is I'm probably going to be sitting here doing homework all winter--while you successfully conquer dozens of women. The backup thing was bravado... of course talking to a guy on a bus is not going to work.
