Eddy Street Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Long since I can remember. I had this fantasy about meeting a girl at the bus stop. It is winter and there is snow on the ground, it also might be snowing a bit, but this is not a heavy snow, since if that was the case people would not be going to work, there would be a snow day in effect for most businesses if it was a serious blizzard, as most businesses care about their employees' safety. It is nonetheless dark despite it being something like 10 AM. The woman is around my age, in the 26-28 age range, what I call late young adulthood, dreading the fast approaching advanced young adulthood, which stretches from 29 all the way through 34... The woman is Russian, or Ukrainian, or perhaps Belorussian, or maybe Polish, at the very worst Romanian, it's good to add a little color once in a while. We start to have a conversation. It's simple. First it's about the weather, then about bus service, then about our jobs. We exchange some comments about our tasks and how we dread our coworkers and bosses, or how we love them, or both. Then the bus appears and I ask her what bus she is taking. She says she is taking a different bus than me, so I consider not getting on my bus, instead I want to wait, pretending to be waiting on the same bus as her. But then I realize I should keep it short and sweet at the beginning, so I ask for her number, she tells it to me and I dial it and call her. We have each-other's numbers, then I get on my buss. As I enter, I look back, and in an Italian way yell that I'll call her and wave, as an Italian might from a trolleycar. I am on the busss. This blossoms into a strong relationship, in time. How likely do you think it is that I will get to experience this? Can I will it to happen? Edited January 19, 2015 by Eddy Street
Danda Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I think you're sliding off the deep end, OP. The woman is Russian, or Ukrainian, or perhaps Belorussian, or maybe Polish, at the very worst Romanian, it's good to add a little color once in a while. And what is up with the random dig at Romanians? Was that really necessary? 1
Dontfindme Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 It's 100% likely if you go wait at bus stops in Poland, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, or Romania. Seriously though, I met my first boyfriend at a bus stop. It can happen. 4
eye of the storm Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Eddy, sometimes in posts like this I am reminded of the Walter Mitty movie. He spent so much time in his own head that he missed out on the amazing life surrounding him. Is it possible to meet a great girl at the bus stop? Of course it is! But when you try to narrow it down to certain nationalities and how you will wave when you leave her, you have just cut your chances down to the same as winning the lottery. Be open to all experiences. Be happy with who you are. I second Gloria25's suggestions and think volunteering might get you out of your box and open you up to so much more. Who knows? You might meet another volunteer and hit it off with them. 3
Author Eddy Street Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 Seriously though, I met my first boyfriend at a bus stop. It can happen. That's good, but for some reason I am a factory worker in my daydream, I have to change that to my actual job if I am to make it more likely to happen, otherwise something similar might happen but I will not be satisfied because that small detail will be off.

Yes, I agree. I will check out that Walter Mitty movie, I'm very much into art and that sounds like art. Edited January 19, 2015 by Eddy Street
Author Eddy Street Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 No offense, I think Romania is a very interesting country. Get it? COUNT-ry. :bunny:
Author Eddy Street Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 If there is a Romanian user on here I want to personaly apologise, it's just the Cio Cio San weine talking. I drank a whle bottle just now. Hey... I might be a total fool and jackass but at least I have goo taste in wine. It's Italian. Just like the manner in which I wave to the girl in my daydream. I am reminded of Jude Law in the tallented Mr. Ripley, my god he looked good as an Italian. There are blonde Italians you know. the Lombard tribe of Italy (northern italy) was of Germanic descent.
Author Eddy Street Posted January 19, 2015 Author Posted January 19, 2015 I think you're sliding off the deep end, OP. Don't worry, I'm fine.
normal person Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I think it's funny that in your fantasy you still take the bus. In actuality, I think what you're dreaming of is very specific and probably unlikely to happen exactly as you want it to, but you might meet a European girl at a bus stop, maybe.

E-Squared Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 It happened before, only to see some things that I was not expecting. Let me tell a little story: Years ago, I remember taking classes and I was at a bus stop waiting for a bus and reading a comic book in the process. Out of nowhere, this girl asks me where I got that comic from and we started talking a little bit. It was cool to meet someone with common interests. We didn't see each other that much, though. I remember the next time I ran into her was maybe a week or so later. We talked again. She said that she was on her way to go somewhere with some friends and she told me that she lived a little far from the college, and it was with her boyfriend. At that moment, I was a little blown. Sometime later, she gave me her cellphone number and I saved it. I didn't see her at the college again after a certain point. She had told me that she was going through some problems with her boyfriend and couldn't come to school. I gave it some time before we talked again. I texted her and she asked who I was. Turned out she didn't have my number saved. I told her who I was and that was the end of it. I tried calling or texting again sometime after, but to no avail, so I gave up on her.
WonderKid Posted January 20, 2015 Posted January 20, 2015 Lmao yeah right. When you start hitting on a woman at the bus stop (in the cold) first thing she will think is: I know this guy isn't trying to holler at me on a bus stop? He doesn't even have a car and he's trying to holler at me? Plus, people are too enthralled with their phones these days. About 85% of people have headphones in their ears and faces to a screen.
