Public transport pick ups?

[RomanticWolf]

I'm just curious if anyone has done this successfully? I mean on the way to work I always see the same girl but it's almost impossible to just start talking. It would be creepy no? I'm not going to do this I am just curious if anyone has and what happened lol. There is a girl who I see everyday when I get off the train to walk to the bus she kind of walks alongside me on the way and we stand on the bus next to each other but it's very short like 5 mins. Sort of no chance to start up anything on situations like this. And when she gets off it's like "damn what if I never see her again?" But I wouldn't dare say anything unless she maybe looked. She sort of looks sad too.

So my question, does this work? Is it a bad idea?

Look, it's better to try than to regret not trying. Life is too short to not try.

Would you rather know for sure that she's not interested in you than 40 years later on your deathbed, you wonder "I wonder if that girl on the bus was interested in me. Damn, I should have talked to her".

Is starting a normal conversation with somebody creepy..? No.

I remember back in high-school I would do exactly what you are doing now. I would think about approaching a girl and then I simply wouldn't do it. BUT because I KNEW she went to the same school that I did I knew I could "post pone" it until I was ready. She's not going anywhere right!? This is a terrible mindset! Near the end of my senior year I actually restricted myself from approaching girls, that I saw on campus, that I had missed the chance too approach prior. Why? Because in real life I won't get another chance. If you see an attractive girl, you need to approach her then. Start casual, small talk, talk about the area, where you two are going etc., it only takes a swivel of a vocal chord to get something going. Or if you want to become more comfortable with your Approach Anxiety then get purposely rejected.

The only thing waiting got me was regret; rejection is seriously better than regret. I remember I would see the girls that I approached on campus and we would either walk by each other or make eye contact. I would smile while they looked away briefly. I'm proud of those approaches regardless of the outcome. Then the girls that I failed to approach I just shook my head and carried on.

Just say Hello, you can't be arrested for being friendly.
