    Got a date from chatting someone up on the bus?

    There's girl that's on my bus to work alot of mornings.
    She always sits up the front on her own, but everytime she's going down the stairs she looks down the bus to catch my eye. At first I thought I was imagining it but it happens everytime. The thing is I'd feel a bit of a tit sitting down beside her at the front of the bus and trying to make small talk when I'm still half asleep. I reckon there's a small chance she's Polish too.

    She's HOT btw.

    Anytime I sit on the top deck of the bus I always look up to have a gander around as I go downstairs.

    But you never know....

    contrary to my sig, we must have pics to determine nationality with a view to advising you on how to proceed! :D

    sit on the stairs next time, then she has to engage you in conversation and WHAM!! sexual.

    Yeah i got in there once while the bus was stopped for an accident, but there was already something to talk about...



    is she just giving you looks, have you moved on to smiles? Maybe just start saying hi & see if she replies in a friendly way, rather than sidling up to her & making her feel uncomfortable

    Get off at the same bus stop even if it means you'll be late for work. If there is a few people getting off at the same time tell her she dropped something - your number! rowr! if there is no one else about or you couldn't care about anybody else hearing when she's no get away from me ya big feckin perv, either way I say go for it, lifes too short... polish women are hot!

    approach her and give it a try. i doubt it will happen because you are obviously clueless since you are posting about it on a board but you will learn something. if you feel you are not strong enough to do it then continue daydreaming. but realize that while you are daydreaming, someone else, who took that chance, will be enjoying her.

    Only the other night, I was on a bus into town. Was at the back of a bus and a guy came on and sat opposite me.

    He kept staring at me to the point where I nearly burst out laughing. Either way he asked for my name, what I did for living, where was I going and all general chit chat.
    Asked for my number and he rang me the other night.

    I think you should go to smiles and the greeting nod and then go for it.
    The only thing you have to lose is her possibly not looking at you while she gets off the bus?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭SheRa


    Defintely approach her but do not do it on the bus. She will be mortified. The idea of getting off at the same stop would be ok if its in town and not isolated but dont do this if its on her way home. She might get freaked out and think that you are following her (well you kind of are but you know what I mean:)).

    If all else fails give her a note saying hi, Id like to meet you for a coffee sometime, here's my number:)

    Good luck.

    The same board that you were reading on a friday night! :-D




    The note idea isn't a bad one Shera, that actually worked for a lad I knew a few years ago.
    How would you give it to her she sits right at the front of the top deck every morning?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12 Mistika


    Just give it a try, if you really want to know her. All the signs are showing that she'd like to be approached.
    I was approached on public transport several times and there is nothing wrong about it. Who said that women should be approched only in 'traditional' places such as clubs, pubs etc?

    I became friends with someone I met at the bus stop.

    Nothing to lose. Go for it. Why not? What's the worst that could happen?

    Right well you might have exchanged looks already, but if that was me Id think that I was imagining it (and she prob would too). So next time go to the top of the bus, or as near to the top as possible, ideal spot would be across from her. DO NOT SIT BESIDE HER.

    You would look like a fool, sitting beside her for the entirety of the journey and having not said anything, handing her a note. No I dont recommend saying anything, cos if it was me and even if I fancied you Id be too mortified on a (prob) quiet bus to say 2 words to you.

    Instead before you get off, just say something along the lines of "Hi I wanted to give this to you", then get off the bus.

    Well that'd work for me anyway (if I was single).

    Good luck:).

    Defintely could go one way or the other no way of knowing but it would be great if you let us know how you got on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,026 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    Nobody has picked up on this which has amazed me. If she is sitting at the top right of the top deck which I see most foreigner's do because that's where the mirror is when they want to be safe on the bus (my thinking anyway) she can see the reflection off the front window diagonally down the back of the bus. So if you are sitting right behind her, she might not be looking at you. But if you usually sit diagonally to her maybe she's checking you out in the reflection of the front window (maybe looking at you checking her out too)? and then give's you one last look when going down the stairs?

    Im quite good looking & I've caught a few foreigners looking up at the mirror checking me out right behind them. It's usually the quite shy ones too, just a thought. Either way, just do it cause you fancy her & who gives a s*** if she wasn't checking you out in the first place.... at least you'll know for sure. She might say Hi to you in future and something might develop afterwards, you can never say for sure.

    Sit a couple of rows back from her, ideally on the aisle seat and as she gets off say 'See you', or something similar. Don't be off down the back of the bus where you would have to roar and make a show of her.

    She can either blank you as a weirdo next time, or say something next time she sees you. You might be mistaken about her looking at you if you're a good way down the bus.

    THEN you have laid the ground to sit near her/initiate conversation.

    So what happened?

    She shoulda gone to Specsavers.

    Why is this a PI?

    I'd say you could get a date but make sure not to approach and single her out in front of people or it may embarrass her and she will give you short shrift. Make sure you end up beside her with maybe 2 coffees and offer her one?
