Author Standard-Fare Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 You are just trying to make yourself feel better. If the guy got on a train that was pulling out of the station sure. But in the above scenario I speak for most single interested guys that he wouldn't care if he hadn't slept in days. If a guy is interested very little will stop him - other than fear Alright, I get the TONE of this line of advice, and I agree with it, but I promise you it would be the very rare bird who could pull off this move in a depressing Subway at 11 pm. It's a nice idea, sure, and I would give the same advice to someone else, but the reality of it just doesn't play out. And that goes beyond me "making excuses for myself." Maybe you had to be there.

preraph Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 If it's a one-time chance meeting, then it's nearly impossible to make something out of it. I tried once and the guy was trying to, and we still couldn't get there. Saw this guy upon entering a Sam's Club looking at CDs and immediately found him attractive and he sensed me and looked up as I was walking in and we had eye contact and smiles. Not much I could do. I figured if he wasn't attached and was interested, he'd find me. He got behind me in checkout line and all I bought was a behemoth-sized pack of toilet paper. So on the way out the door, I intentionally dropped the behemoth, and he picked it up and walked me out with it and we chatted and found out he was in town for the holiday and it was with regrets that it went no further than that. Neither of us were going to make the leap to ask for a stranger's number, but I know we both wanted to. My name was too common to have told him and him find me without a lot of work. But if you're in a situation where you can keep seeing the person, then of course you just go to work on them. At one time, my oil-change guy looked like Johnny Depp, so you might well imagine that my old van got regular checkups. I think he had a girlfriend because he married not too long after, but he was always friendly even though I was older than him, so if he hadn't been taken, who knows. All you can do is present yourself and be friendly and fun. It will either happen or it won't. Don't keep it up if they don't make a move. Clear out and move on. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I've made plays in more unlikely places than the depressing 11 pm Subway. Just sayin. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Pfft. Blame the guy at the Subway . You totally gave him an in when you told him you hoped he enjoyed his sandwhich. He should have been quick enough to say something like he'd enjoy the sandwich more if it were with you. Threads like these make me sort of miss "the game". Preraph, I like the Sam's Club story.
