Not gunna lie getting approached on the bus is kinda creepy... But you could always start a conversation about what book it is or books in general. But I can't stress how distressed I would be to have someone approach me in public transport... But the best you got is hoping she sits near you and striking up a conversation about the book... But don't be creepy bus guy.

Oh ok then, thats what i thought at first, that its kinda creepy. But this subreddit as i read post suggests that you just do it no matter what :D

I mean you can, but don't be surprised if you get maced if you get off at the same stop and happen to be going her way... Idk in my city you don't talk to people you don't know on the bus. Good way to lose all your shit.

Exactly. Chances of success? Slim. Chances of coming across as that creep who won’t let you get to your destination in peace? High!!

How do you see that happening in your mind? Like, what does success look like to you?
Because I'll be honest: based on what you've said, your chances of any kind of positive result are so low, it doesn't seem worth it at all...too much risk, and not enough reward.

You're skipping quite a few steps in conversation before any contact information is exchanged...rein it in a little, friend. Sounds like you've got a little more to learn (like body language and situational context) before a cold open is in your near future.

What should i read to learn this?
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Fuck that, I say go and approach anyone. "learning" or "studying" that before you go can lead to faking action and just bombing yourself with information that you won't even understand Start trying it, and every stick point you have come back here and get advice. Not the other way around

She showed zero interest in you. Actually less than zero, it sounds like she doesn't even know you exist. Typically if you want any chance of success on a bus, she would need to show at least a bit of interest in you. Even just a bit of eye contact could be enough. If she hasn't even acknowledged your existence, chances are it was going nowhere and/or you were going to be labeled a creep.

If you stand in the middle of the bus and jump while it's moving the force will move you towards the chick effectively doing the approach for you.

Personally I wouldn’t disturb her, your odds are low enough as it is
What if we get off at the same stop? Shiuld i talk to her when we get off?
I only "approach" girls on the bus if they sit next to me. I look at them and then try to start a casual conversation. Most times they have no interest on keep talking so I make a cool move and end the talk, but a few times we keep talking and very few times I got some phone numbers.
