I probably should have said hi or something but I haven't mae small talk with a girl since like 6th grade. I have never been on a date or anything and am totally clueless when it comes to girls. :eek: I know its sad but just a really shy person.

So she lives near you, too? Jeese, man!

Her classes for the day are over the same time as mine, or else she wouldn't be on the bus.

So now you've got a second chance. Say "Hello, how are you?" Pretty easy if you can just squeak out those first couple of words. Chances are she's shy, too.

Ah, this is the bus going away from school. I figured it was up to school. Next time you see her introduce yourself. Ask her about school and whatnot. Tell her you would like to get off at her stop and pick up a bite to eat at a nearby place to continue the conversation.

It's called a dream. Feel free to talk to her, but be sure to wash your sheets the next day.

Hey, you never know. Maybe she got all dressed up for him in the hopes he'd notice. It happens.

LOL!
Go ahead and speak to her. Do you know anything about her, if not ask around. Start a conversation with her about something that interests her.

Dude, if indeed a girl cried because some guy she didn't know failed to notice her change of seating on a bus...she's prolly got issues you don't want to deal with anyway (I'm assuming she's 16 or older...)

BTW, this reminded me of this one time I was on the U-bus...there was this guy who I'd seen before working in the cafeteria who had Down syndrome or something...and this really hot girl sat on the bus next to him (only seat left.) And like the whole time he's so OBVIOUSLY looking down her top, and when she catches him what does she do? She puffs out her chest and smiles! And what does he do? He runs off the bus screaming at the next stop!!! Of course I felt sorry for the guy (he didn't know how to deal with his inner sexual tension or whatever) but at the same time I couldn't help but laugh my ass off...

Yeah I ddin't mean to be so harsh..it's just that I'm a female, and i used to ride the bus everyday to ucla. I can't even imagine this actually happening. there are hot guys on the bus all the time. I don't know why she would get dressed up for some stranger...maybe if she was meeting up with some cute guy on campus or something but on teh bus?!? hehe.

Maybe it is a pipe dream. I'm just giving him the benefit of the doubt. Could be she's just really, really shy, too. /shrug

Good grief.

Ok, there is this cute girl on the bus, right.
Well sometime last week she caught me looking at her, I mean there was nothing I could do. I couldn't turn/look away or anything. Normally she wears jean, t-shirts, a little makeup, and tennis shoes. She also usually sits near the front of the bus in the seats that face forward. While I sit on the back bench or rear seats the face across the bus. Well today she sat right across from me(yes there were open seats up front), trust me this is big because she has never(to my knowledge) sat in the back of the bus. She had on a good bit of makeup(way more than usual) and a nice tight, white shirt(you know the knit/I dunno the non t-shirt fabric kinda. The kind they like to wear to bars or when they go out) and short khaki skirt w/ sandals. Anyway so shes reading a paper and glancing a me every once in a while. I can also tell she's smiling from time to time. Anyway so I'm freaking out mentally , I dunno what do to so I pretend to ignore her(my defense mechanism, always has been). I try not to stare at her and pretend to look at other things. I didn't smile that I can remember and I certainly didn't say anything. So this is the part thats eating me, when she left the bus she didn't seem happy as in she looked like she might have had tears in the corner of her eyes. Now I think its my fault and I don't know what to do. :(

I'm a bad person. :(

what the heck, i would be scared of a girl that would cry if i didnt say hi

Talk to her like you would any human being. Avoid talking about "guys only" subjects.

Get your sh*t together man.

Get on the bus after her next time, and sit next to her. Then you have no choice but to talk. Start with something simple, like, you know, "Hey, how's it goin'?" :)

Ok map time. This is for HendrixFan and Pepsei.


Map removed for safety reasons.

Um the gap from my stop to hers is roughly a 2 min walk. And I don't drive but thats a whole other thread.

And she didn't cry. To me, she looked sad but maybe like some of you have said, I am delusional. I don't know. So just ingore the sad/crying part. Everything else I am 101% sure of.


rgwalt I usually don't talk to people. I can count all the converasations I've had with people that I don't consider friends since highschool on one hand. Most of my friends I've known since 4th grade. There are a few I picked up in highschool but thats it. :frown:

Let's start with smiling back. That's not tooo hard right? Maybe you can ask her for the time? Perhaps if you just open the door by talking to her she'll be the one to strike up a convo.

But you know she's reading the forums now and she realizes you're talking about her and thinks...another troll.
