Train LOVE!!

LegacyUser

Ok I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. I get the train every day & Ive fallen madly in love with this guy who also gets the train. Every morning we end up getting on the same carriage and we both get of at the same stop. In the evenings going home,he gets of at the stop before me.
I know I prob sound pathetic but I really cant stop thinking about him. Im pretty sure he knows I exsist as Ive caught him looking in my direction once or twice. My problem is that Ive not seen him out around the area & obviously when Im stone cold sober Im never going to have the confidence to start up a conversation so WHAT SHOULD I DO???

Say ; "Hello"

Victor

Sit near him and say "hi".

demanufactured

become a member of the train track club lol

nah tbh just say hello

Dord

Just say hello

Wouldn't it be hilarious if she got a card for him like the one that Ralph got Lisa in the Simpsons......sorry a bit off topic. I'll stop now.

Take a chance girl-worst he can say is no. As Del Trotter once said-"he who dares....."
You could slip a slip of paper into his pocket when passing with your number on it.....hard work though.;)

star-pants

OT ... yeh say hi one day or 'heya jebus it's freezing' and flash your best smile...

you won't know until you try!
good luck!

dodgyme

thebiggestjim

m83

something same happened to me

fancy a girl on the bus in the morning,sadly she takes the bus after me (i have earlier class this semester).have been knowing her on the bus since last year,then last month i actually wrote her a letter on a bus that we took together(i was late that day)!just saying some compliment and how she is adorable...well,we were in a hurry while i handed the letter to her...i will never forget her big big smile to me that morning:D didnt even write down my info or name on that letter...so...end of story...:p i am happy enough tho,cause' she is an OL and i am a student...:owell,maybe next time,wonder we can on the same bus again and i have enormous guts to try again...:)

To OP,nothing you can really do tho,what i mean is,cause' culture here,it's easily to freak people out.but hey,ya are a girl!no lose or whatever if ya give it a try!go for it!at least say hi!:)

Does he read the Metro? If so, write into the them, and say "hi" through them. They print off those letters.

Otherwise, is it on the Connolly to Maynooth line? (doubt it's me, but hey)

Cathmandooo

If you can do it then say something to him, I fancied this guy on my train and due to its packedness we were practically hugging a few times (anyone on the maynooth line will know how packed the train gets!!) On other days Id catch him looking at me, although we all have to look somewhere dont we!!? I never had the courage to say anything to him, he may have had a girlfriend plus I'm a wuss! Go for it! do it do it....but i never could

M007

do it - check out this for inspiration - www.nygirlofmydreams.com - read about it over the w/e

if it can happen over there it can happen here - take a risk and go for it

if you don't ask you will never know!

best of luck

Write your mobile number and your first name on the back of a small card and give it to him as you pass some day. Say something like you dropped this and give him a big smile.

Cheesy but effective.

Aseth

start with a smile. it works

Driver 8

I'm all for this girl trying her best to get this guy's attention. But if the genders were reversed, according to several threads I've read on Boards, most girls would be "freaked out"

Just saying...

Wacker

It sounds more like infatuation to me. You have got to talk to this person, and so soon. You do run the risk of rejection, but that isn't nearly as bad as not trying.

purpledragon677

jus talk to him say hi

DaDa

Flash a nice big smile and see what reaction you get that moment or the next day. Take it from there, or he might be encouraged to.

haha everyone gets on at coolmine and off at pearse.

These are just day dreams, they wont work, slight chance they might but the person could be in a relationship etc

Overheal

Easiest breaker: "Hello again". everything else is natural.

Kaldorn

what Train do you get,I also get the coolmine train and its full of pretty girls but i wouldnt even attempt to chat one up.its not the right place

Overheal

Hmm...methinks this 'Cool Mine' to be some sort of roving day-club. Interesting.... Next thing you know you've turned the canteen cart into a disco.

Dont be shy with a letter: Id say its a good Guy move but hey, hey, hey: just say hello! If he's interested he'll continue the conversation without too much prodding. He could be shy as well though

FutureGuy

OP I'm speaking from experience (and I'm sure the vast majortiy of people will know this too).

The anxiety you feel about talking to this guy will be NOTHING compared to that horrible feeling that you'll have for weeks when you get on the train one morning and realise that he's not there, he won't be there again, and you have lost your chance.

I met my girlfriend one day while in a shop in Cork where she was working. I was absolutely smitten by her, big bright eyes, incredible smile, waaaaaay out of my league. I hadn't the guts to say anything to her to be honest. All the way home to Limerick, I was kicking myself for not saying something. I was down in Cork 2 weeks later and after gathering every ounce of courage in me I went up and talked to her. We exchanged numbers and went for dinner the following week. That was too years ago next month, and were both very happy

It turns out that the day I asked her out was her final day in the store, and the chances are I would probably have never met her again after that day.

So swallow the pride, flash a big beautiful smile and just get talking to the guy

Honestly, I wish you the very best of luck! Your obviously a great person, and you deserve lots of happiness

Thundercracker

say hi, and if things go well, ask him out

Mr. Incognito

There is no guy in the world who wouldn't love that compliment. Personally I'd go the note route. I left a note for a girl in teh UCD library once with my phone-number on it and the tingle of excitement was worth the embarrasment. She never rang though

Clare Bear

Sooooooooo cute! Go for it, just say hi and smile. You've nothing to lose, nothing might come of it or (hopefully) something great could. My friend was mad about a guy on her train for over a year. "Train Guy" was practically her husband in her head without her even speaking to him. Then one day he stopped getting the train-could have moved or something and she really regretted not saying hello to him. How would you feel if he did the same and you never saw him again? Do ittttttttt! Good luck

Top post!

We could do with a few more women chatting up the men. It's a nerve racking experience for any normal person to make the first move when they're completely sober. It's not harder for a woman than it is for a man. In fact, it's probably easier because to put it bluntly, men are easier.

What's the worst that'll come of it? He knows you fancy him. Big deal.

WildIrishRose

Ask him for the time.... but make sure you take tou watch off and dont have you mobile in sight... and just be polite...

Go do it and keep us posted!

Overheal

sigh...alas, the one time a girl came up to me, i was serving drink. Pfft. Seemed nice enough and sincere; slid ir number into my shirt pocket... but I was so wrecked at the end of the night i forgot all about it and that shirt went into the wash

That feeling is the WORST!

OP, I know the feeling. Well. I'm useless in situations like that. It comes down to how much confidence you can muster. Personally, I can't even smile at guys I like. The best approach is just to say hi (so I hear).

when did you do this? would it have been a year or so ago? just cause i remember coming back to my desk in the UCD library once and there was a little note on my desk with a phone number! thought it was one of my friends taking the p1ss, probably was, but your post made me remember that!

i wouldnt have rang the number if i thought it was real anyway!! the note thing is not the greatest! im all for the saying "hi" in an attempt to strike up a conversation
