I wish I......

[Salsaboy]

...had the balls to talk to the really pretty lady that has smiled at me the last 3 mornings on the train. :(

[Robert Poste's Child]

What's stopping you?

[Otta]

I'd find that very difficult too. I'm not good at that stuff.

Is there anything you could use as an "in", like does she carry a book with her that you could comment on?

[KidKruger]

Just do it Salsa, we've only this blip of light before we're dust again.

[steveo]

We want a progress report tomorrow morning

[Mustard]

Woman, not lady.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Pretext indeed. Just smile back and say hi.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Mind you, after three days she's thinking, well, I smiled at him three mornings running and he hasn't responded, so I guess he's not interested.

It's a psychic gift I have.

[Salsaboy]

All the other people on the train looking.

Salsaboy, it's time to become Salsaman.

Smiling back isn't enough; you might just be being polite. You need to give her confidence that you want to talk. Say hi. Say 'lovely day again'. Say 'do you use the EDF by any chance' (because let's face it, that would do the job for you now).

Drop a hankie and see if she picks it up :)

He hasn't got the balls.

If your that shy then just write your number on a bit of paper and hand it to her, that way you leave it upto her :)

[LadyDeliah]

No wonder you can't remember the last time you had a shag!

Write your number on a piece of paper if you don't have a business card, give your number to her just before either you or she leaves the train and say that if she fancies going for a drink or food to give you a shout.

Easy :-)

[StraferJack]

is it YOU that has been giving him the glad eye LadyD?

[Jeremy]

Hey I'm not the most confident guy with ladies/women (and am married anyway!) but if she'd smiled at me three days in a row, I think even I could manage a bit of conversation in return!

[*Bob*]

I find winking 'fancy a shag' in morse code often gets results.

[nashoi]

Well if they happened to be a neurologist it might.

[steveo]

Or a sailor

What if she's not bothered?

Lol, no, I cycle and I'd have given him my number by now.

[Robert Poste's Child]

Any update on romantic progress?

[PeckhamRose]

They're on a date?!

[yansavx]

Sorry but grow some balls

You might die tomorrow

You are thinking about it too much

Zoom out and get some perspective

and realise how small and insignificant all of it is in the grand scheme of things

your a human and she is a human

and you have had enough years on this earth to simply greet a fellow person with a polite hi

whats the worst possible outcome? that she wont return the greeting?

even if the chances are small, saying something still gives a better chance that she will respond to you, than the zero percent chance if you keep quiet!
