PersonMan Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 and she farted. Multiple times. No seriously. Sat next to this chick on a flight into town last night. It was a three seat row. I had the aisle, the middle was empty and she had the window. I found her fairly attractive (otherwise I wouldnt be kicking myself over it and doing this) and noticed her mimicking my body language. They say body language is some arbitrary number between 55-90% of it regarding the signs of interest/attraction. I originally was in her seat and she asked me to sit there so I apologized and moved for her, which ended up being the only time we really talked. Anyway, everytime I wanted to look out the window she immediately turned her head to look too. I understand no matter who is there its just awkward to have that happen and id do the same thing whether its a 5 year old or 55 year old. Anyway, I just noticed these small things she was doing. I pulled the armrest down, 10 seconds later she did. When I pulled out my Ipod, 10 seconds later she did the same. When I pulled back the seat she did the same. She put her hair up, she crossed her legs in my direction and her feet were facing me. Everytime I glanced over at her I saw her looking at me, or she would just turn her head and look out the window, and only then she would do that. Then I just sat back and listened to my Ipod and closed my eyes and a little while later I peered over and she was doing the same thing. Then she tilted her head my way and her feet and slept. When the flight was over I pulled everything up and put my Ipod away, pulled out my phone, etc. and she did the same thing, and the window peering/turning her head continued. One time I was looking around and I looked at her and she was looking right at me and quickly looked away. We head to baggage claim and I go outside to look for my ride, then I go back in and im the only one walking towards the group of people. I see her not far away and she sees me. Then the carousel gets turned on and she walks over maybe 6 feet in front of me to get her things. I got mine and was able to leave before her and that was that but I couldnt stop thinking if I should have said something and that she was showing interest or attraction just through her body language. She basically just mimicked 90% of what I was doing, keeping in mind that the majority around me werent. Ill never see this girl again and this may well be a silly waste of time but id like to get some feedback. Sarcasm is welcome.
Citizen Drawn Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 What do you want to hear? I once sat next to a girl on a plane and we started talking as soon as I sat down. It was a great journey, I got her number - it didn't work out, but that's not the point. After 2 minutes you had a clear opportunity to ask her what she was flying out for, obvious conversation starter right? After about 10 minutes you probably still had that opportunity. After half an hour, you were pretty much dead in the water, and when you got to the baggage claim, forget it! Analysing her body language is neither here nor there, if you wanted to talk to her you should have said something. However, she may have not wanted to talk to you and you could have spent the whole journey feeling like a nob. Either way you wouldn't be here wondering about it. Next time you're in close proximity to a girl you want to talk to, suck it up and open your mouth! 2
Lyssa Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 30% - 50% chances that this will happen again in the future.

New Again Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Wow you were paying this girl some serious attention.
Trialbyfire Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I can imagine a convo between the two of you: You: Hi! Her: Hi! You: So what's your name? Her: So what's your name? You: Wha? Her: Wha? 3
carhill Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 ROFLMAO! OP, if I had a nickel for every time this happened to me on an airplane, I'd be a rich man. I actually like the farting part in the beginning. That had promise
New Again Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Yeah I was pretty disappointed - I was really looking forward to a funny story about farting. I should've known better - women don't do that! 1

2sure Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 If she was at all interested, she wouldnt have farted.
boogieboy Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I dont see why I had the entire time. Becuase if she saw that you were too chicken to take her "hints" after the first half hour she might have lost interest by the time you actually spoke to her. Let that be a lesson to you. DOnt build up to talking to her, just say something, like ripping off a bandaid, or jumping straight into the water.. I can imagine a convo between the two of you: You: Hi! Her: Hi! You: So what's your name? Her: So what's your name? You: Wha? Her: Wha? Picturing this is hysterical !! :lmao: If she was at all interested, she wouldnt have farted. Yeah but there is a 10% chance that she might have had one of those gastrointestinal diseases.....or she might have thought she was letting out the SBD and it tooted....ok maybe not.
utterer of lies Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 like ripping off a bandaid You seem enarmored with this analogy, but... it's not that good.
boogieboy Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 You seem enarmored with this analogy, but... it's not that good. Im open to suggestion on a better one....what u got?
utterer of lies Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Im open to suggestion on a better one....what u got? A dislike for analogies.
boogieboy Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 A dislike for analogies. I cant use that! It doesnt make any sense......
utterer of lies Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I cant use that! It doesnt make any sense...... Exactly. Don't use analogies. You are making progress, young padawan

The other thing is, what do you say after half an hour of sitting next to someone? "hey there so hows the flight been so far?", what do you say in baggage claim? "where are you going?", "nice luggage?". Or perhaps, "excuse me, why have you been mimicking me for the whole flight". Got no chance of anything but an awkward opener after the plane's reached crusing altitude!
carhill Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 in your best Peter Graves deadpan "Do you like watching gladiator movies?"
BenThereDunThat Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Careful what you eat before you fly anywhere. The pressurization of the cabin makes for gas issues.
carhill Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Did you know airline seats are rated for their odor absorption? It's especially useful when the cabin rapidly depressurizes and the differential overcomes your sphincter, but then I imagine you have more important things to think about, like breathing I often think of this when I watch people laying down across a row of seats sleeping with their face in a seat. All kinds of interesting things to talk about while flying

carhill Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Pay isn't the best but a lot of FA's moonlight. Flexible hours. Nice benefit is free/cheap travel for them and their friends/families. I spend a lot of time in the galley chatting. FA's are surprisingly talkative. Great way to kill time on long flights, especially when a seatmate is a party pooper.
boogieboy Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Exactly. Don't use analogies. You are making progress, young padawan im gonna come up with even worse analogies just for you.
