On just a regular Thursday evening, I was boarding the bus on my way to class. And as I was walking to the back, I noticed this girl really staring at me. I'm awful with eye contact so I gave her a quick stare with an okay smile and went to get a seat about two rows behind her. I recently let one girl get past me (a combination of bitch butterflies and horrible timing) in the grocery store on Tuesday so I made a promise that no matter what the situation is, I am gonna ask out the next girl I am interested in talking to. I was nervous as shit. More people were getting on the bus and I was getting closer to my stop. I opened up this sub and quickly looked up 'bus' to gather some inspiration and see the ways other people went about it.

After another minute, I was like fuck it 'Let's do it'. I stood up from my seat, went to go sit next to her (of course she had her headphones in because I needed it to be harder). I signalled for her to take them off and I used the line I found. 'I'd be kicking myself for the rest of the day if I didn't talk to you'.

She chuckled.

I introduced myself, asked her for her name, where she was headed, Asked her what she was listening to. She said it was a little embarrassing, I wanted to keep digging but I eh... She was smiling and giggling through the whole thing so I figured.....TIME FOR THE KILLSHOT.

'I'd love to keep talking to you. Let me get your number.

'Oh. I have a boyfriend. I'm sorry'

Me- 'Oh okay. Tell him I said hi' (Don't ask me why I said that. I have no idea either)

As I had planned it, my stop was next so I went to the back and got out at my stop. I'm still alive. I didn't die. I'm in class now and I feel a lot better than I did after the grocery store bitch butterfly.

I've conquered what is probably one of the hardest scenarios to approach in and I feel great as I am typing this from class. I'm pretty sure at least 7 people on that bus knew what I was doing. Can't wait to do more of these as I have made it past this huge hurdle. YOU CAN DO IT BOYS. Seriously.
