dl02 Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 So I work at the local school and get the train to work every morning (epilepsy screws your chances of driving in the UK). Recently, I keep seeing an amazingly beautiful girl on the train. I first saw her around 2 weeks ago as I caught her locking eyes with me when we both were at the doors waiting for the train to stop. Now every day I pass her inside the train to find a seat I swear I see her turn her head and today she smiled (I smiled back). As she works in a school up the road, we walk alongside each other until I get where I need to be. She'll just keep looking at me and briefly look back if I'm behind. I can't obviously confirm her interest but I've read it's best to presume interested unless outright rejected. I can't even pluck up the courage to make small talk and have an awful gut feeling even now. Do women tend to not look and then look discreetly? She'll glance, pass my seat then make eye contact briefly when turning around. She finishes earlier so I don't see her so much on the way home, but I do see her every now and then on the other side of the street. She'll look at me and turn her head.
d0nnivain Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Next time you are walking ask her name if you don't already know it then ask if she'd like to get a cup of tea or a pint after school. (I said tea not coffee because you are in the UK) 1
pewpew Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Well if your interested I'd probably wait until your off the train when walking to work and just say something to her! maybe about her job, the weather anything to just make that contact. You will probably tell by her response if she wants you to talk to her. If she doesn't you will probably get short shrift from her but if she does indeed like you then it could be the icebreaker you need. Either way you won't find out until you try 1
smackie9 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 good lord just strike up a convo with her and take it from there. You won't know if she is interested or not unless you male contact with her and ask her out.....stop being so insecure. Women like confidence.
joseb Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Yeah just talk to her. The longer you leave it, the more awkward it will become. Just go for it - what do you have to lose? And don't overthink it. It's just two people. Who were on the same train. Having a chat. 1
GemmaUK Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Next time you are walking ask her name if you don't already know it then ask if she'd like to get a cup of tea or a pint after school. (I said tea not coffee because you are in the UK) Aw! I chuckled at this! We drink lots of coffee in the UK Donn. I love the consideration in your post though. (and no offence intended here whatsoever) OP I agree, ask her for a tea/coffee/drink or you could simply start by striking up a conversation about the weather, the bus, a book she is reading or a kindle if she has one - literally anything about what is going on around you. The good thing about this is you see her every day so you could grow to get to know her a bit and gauge her interest. Even just a 'hello' and a smile one day, the next day you could have a chat about something (anything as mentioned above). It does sound like she is interested so just say something. It's funny, when I have been on a daily commute on a train or a bus you get so familiar with people you feel like you know them. Now and then I have had a hello from someone I see everyday and returned the gesture and weirdly it's not as awkward as it would appear to be before it happens.
