About the only time I'm in public long enough to encounter attractive females for more than a few minutes (and I'm not trying to sell some sort of lawnmower or patio set to them), I'm on the bus either going to work or heading home. Last night, as it happens, there was this serious mad hot cutie blatantly making eye contact with me, and this is far from the first time a girl has given me glances and the like. I'm just wanting some tips on how to pick up on hot women on the bus, especially for just for a mutually fun hookup. Any useful advice, especially on how to cold chat up a woman, is most welcome.

tikki

Gotta be smooth like that guy.

Just go up and say hi, and go from there.

Thasss right. Love is in the air!

No, seriously, just go say hi and introduce yourself. Don't be Barry, be YOU.

tisonlyi

Same deal as everywhere, don't try and be cheesey, jusy smile, say hi and introduce yourself.

small talk, then detour into something more interesting/suggestive.

There's no technique or knack to it, just got to have the balls to put it into action.

Yup. Smile back at her, move over and introduce yourself. Be you.

Donkeypuncher

Yup, just smile back and say hi. Don't linger too long in conversation (bus trip will help with that anyway... finite interaction) and ask her out. Coffee, drinks, lunch, dinner, ballgame... whatever seems appropriate.

The biggest hurdle is just having the balls to start talking to her... if she likes you, it'll all work out. Relax, have fun... enjoy the butterflies.

on the other hand these people come across as pretty sleazy, but if you feel like you need a plan, well there is one ready made.

Personally, I'd reciprocate her smiles...acknowledge her...but wait for her to make the move...if she wants it, she WILL come and get it!!!

They always do...

A few weeks ago, I went to the wedding of a friend of mine to a guy she met on the bus. Stranger meetups have occured

trialzin

Introduce yourself, ask her where she is going, if work find out if its close to yours and see if she would like to do lunch, yes its that simple. I am no pro at this either , I still get butterflies, just remain calm. I know it sounds hard when your heart starts beating and your palms get all sweaty. We all go throught he same shit, well most of us anyways.

johnnymysto

Just do it, man! Seriously, a single buddy of mine in DC is always seeing hot chicks and talking about how he should have talked to them. I'm like "Just TALK TO THEM!!!" You have nothing to lose. And if she's already giving you the eye, that's an open invitation. YOU CAN DO EET!!!

yeah, but all in all that requires takling to people. and from experience getting girls to come to you DOES NOT WORK! (grrrrrr) unlesss your some norwegian god or something. i am one of those types who just can't talk to people, so just saying go up and talk to her isn't going to happen. dating is stupid.

wally

I agree. Just go up and talk to this girl. There's NOTHING to lose.

PartyN

On the other hand, you could just wait until the bus is crowed and then walk up behind her, stick your hand in her back pocket, and say: "What's up Dummy?" You won't have to worry about the conversation after that--she will do all the talking, as in calling for the cops!

Reikes

Never start talking to a girl just to have fun with her, but if you are serious, how about asking her if you can go to a movie together or maybe dinner. Try someplace where you will not be "forced" into conversion, think Benihana's or something.

MrHilter

That happened to me the other day. I'm regretting not doing anything now.

I tend to just smile watch them, but dont look obsessed, act a lil shy and just say hi as you pass them, if they are still intrested, try and be shy and ask for their number, or just as you walk past give them a bit of paper with your number on it and say "call me" somtimes it works, somtimes it dont, but hey, saves embarrasment

soxsfans

find one you like, then get off the bus at their stop, follow them, watch them thru the window while they work. Get back on the bus when they do, get off at their stop........ Oh wait, some will call that stalking sorry.

If your going to work, then chances are you will see the same people. Be yourself, brief ideal conversation. The next day same thing, then after a couple of days - ask out for a coffee, soda, drink whatever you are in to.

NotMinus

There is nothing she could do to hurt you. I imagine you don't talk to girls because you fear rejection, the first step to meeting people is getting over that fear. She has no power over you, she is someone you will probaly not see agian, if she is not intrested, it dosn't matter, there are alot of pretty girls around (its all about finding the smart ones) I used to care and then slowly I learned its about being relaxed, confident and in control. People may argue with me here but I belive the more attractive women are used to meeting wussy guys that don't have alot of inner strength and respond by acting nerviouse and far to kind and appolagetic, I find when I approach people like this and have a relaxed, straight forward attatude (I find teasing them also works just beacuse its the opposite about what most people do, I.E. Jeez, those shoes are pretty tacky, are you color blind by any chance? If you can make them laugh and get there attention that your not just the same as everyother guy, you are going to get much better responses) and if she isn't intrested, thats fine. You will never meet a hot little number unless you simply start approaching them.

Dude, with an opportunity like that, you gotta bang her right there! Trust me, if it is one thing I know about girls, it is that they love having sex with strangers on busses. And if it is crowded? Orgy! That would rock. Good luck, I envy you and your bus sluts.

The bus is a hard one.

There's lots of crazy ass people on the bus... be careful.

This girl on the bus, you are not dating her. If you talk to her and ask her out and she says no, nothing has changed. You are still not dating her. However, if she says yes, Dude, you got a date! Nuthin to lose and everything to gain. Start with one of these girls that smiles at you. Talk about the blackout.

Is it just me? Every time I browse past this thread title in the forum, I find myself singing:

The girls on the bus go round and round.
Round and round,
Round and round.
The girls on the bus go round and round,
All through the town!

I'm a total dork, aren't I? :-\

skysooner

The hardest part about approaching someone is the location. Bars are difficult because everyone is there for the action. A bus is easy because it is so laid-back and non-threatening. Say hi and see where it goes. You will know soon enough whether there is a connection.

raeanna74

Just go up, politely introduce yourself, and start talking. Don't do all the talking. Ask her some questions about herself - not too personal (as in where she lives and stuff) but things like : Do you have any pets?, What do you do for a living?, What kind of hobbies do you like? Etc. Finally Don't forget to ask her out or at least get her number.

I'm more bold than some women I know. I used to just sit and figure - if he really wants to talk to me he'll come and do it. Half the time it wouldn't happen either. Take the chance. The worst she can do is give you the cold shoulder. You'll live. The best thing she could do - well Maybe you'll go a long ways with the relationship. You just never know until you take the first step.

Good Luck

Sang that fuckin song while I read THREE other threads while working towards this one. lol... perfectly normal... maybe...

Same thing I tell my buddy who still to this day, despite his GREAT success with girls, cannot just walk up to a girl and say hi- SMILE. Walk up to her and say, "hi. I'm _name here_." Smile again.

jimk

ok, just read a bit further.

st. paul rocks.

one thing that always worked for me, act shy at first we you see her glancing at you, then walk up to her and say, " Hello, My name is ___ ( witha smile on your face), I could not help noticing your beautiful smile from where I was sitting, and I was wondering if you would join me for a cup of coffe or tea sometime. Hoping that we can get to now each other some more, since it seams we do take the same train/bus rout together, and it will be great to have a good company to help pass time on the train/bus"

just be a gentelman..

quantumburnz

DUDE!?! Stuff like that happens in St. Paul!? I need to go there! Ya, the bus is pretty tough, I haven't taken one since high school, but I'd say treat it like anyting else. Do what other people are saying, just talk to her. Good luck!

hobo

If she is obviously interested, get close and say "Hi". Then ask her something like where she is going. That should get you started.
