Best advice

The bus can be fine place depending on how you come across and how the person you are talking feels at that moment.
There is no wrong place to approach, all you have to do is o know when to stop if the conversation isn’t going good or if the person seems like they would rather you stop.
You also need to anticipate yourself to her possible objections, by saying:
“I’m leaving the bus soon, but i gotta tell you something… I know a person approaching in a bus is super random and out of the ordinary, but would you understand it, that if you saw a person with a style like yours, and a vibe like yours, and a smile like yours, that anyone would want to meet that kind of person?”
If she says yes, you proceed to get to know her introduce yourself etc, if she says she would not understand it or any negative reaction, then just be like, “i understand and i respect that, thank you anyways.”

What if the guy is a bus conductor ? He can't leave the bus.

Then switch it to something that applies to you, it’s called having social skills.

Social skills are subject to market changes.

Stop being a nerd dude

You do this:
"Hey, I understand this is random, but I thought you were attractive. I'm X, nice to meet you" *Shake hands*

dont. never corner someone. dont take advantage of a captive audience. same reason you dont approach someone working, or someone at the gym.

Thats true.

not only is it rude to corner someone, or bug them at work. but if theyre not comfortable and able to speak their mind your odds of a successful approach go down the drain. a good approach is one where they feel safe and comfortable. you want an approach to be a fun experience, not an intimidating one

Its good to finally meet the oracle.

Approaching at a bus stop is totally fine. It's only weird if you take advantage of the fact that she has to be there and ignore any hints of disinterest. I've met a ton of people, male and female, on the bus.

Just no, don’t ever do things like that. Unless she comes to you or sits next to you. It just makes you look like a loser
[–]StarBreacher 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Not necessarily, the bus may not be an ideal place for this, but if OP doesn’t make it awkward and is socially aware it can work
[–]bestmenrmenatbest 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Can work vs will work. I can bang my coworker and still work the same job. Is it a good idea though

I read on fb how one woman was amazed that guy she saw at the bus, next day found her and gave her flowers. For me it sounds so horrible, he sitted in the car waited for her to come. But that woman liked it

"What could be options to do that?"
Well theres really only one. If she is looking inviting (as in she is smiling at you and stealing glances at you) then yeah by all means approach her on the bus. Even if you dont see a girl looking at you you can feel it. If you feel it, go for it.
However this approach: "Oh my god I must approach a girl on the bus because (insert shitty half ass dating advice website) told me that I must approach 20 girls in one day and Im kinda running out of options because I scared away all the pretty women at the park with making uninvited approaches", that approach likely wont work.
Approach because you want to and because you are attracted and because you sense that she is attracted to you. Not because you have to.

Just be social, it's normal to socialize.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Hmm how do you socialise with someone in the bus standing with the mask on
[–]AstralValProjection 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Observational statements or whatever thought is in your head.
