Gentlemen, taking the bus is the death of me. It is (somehow) filled with beautiful women all coming home/going to university. My problem is approaching in a non-creepy way.

The problems as I see them: 1. Even if I am confident enough to open them in front of eavesdropping strangers, she is often very awkward in flirting in the bus

  1. Opening in a non-creepy way is difficult when people seem to be in their own bubble/headspace

  2. Everyone wearing ipods and headphones often means you have to almost shout or tap them, which often freaks people out.

  3. Direct openers seem especially awkward with so many people around. Even if I am comfortable doing it, she often feels too shy.

I know some of you gurus have had success in public transit. It's a shit journey of 2 hours and many transfers and working on approaches is time well spent, the question is how?
