How do I approach a girl on train?

Tagged:

Nowadays whenever I see a cute girl sitting by herself on the train, I don’t hesitate. I move in, and sit right down next to her.

Get this next part, it’s genius. I sit right down next to her, and then I do absolutely nothing. I don’t take off my headphones. I pull out my phone and play Threes. I totally ignore her, like she wasn’t even there.

What happens next, I hear you asking. Well, nothing. I become the wall between her and every other guy who wants to talk to her. She gets a little bit of peace to start her day with. I pointedly ignore the crap out of her if we happen to get off at the same stop. If she wants to get off before me, I move without saying a word.

When I don’t do this, invariably some idiot will take his shot. Once that happens, she’s stuck with him until he gives up, because guys are idiots and can’t take a hint. And I get to kick myself for not just manning up.

Look, do you really want to try to talk to someone when there’s a 95% chance that she’s got zero interest in talking to you? I’ve been riding the train now for two years. She don’t want to talk to no one. If you do, it’s going to get awkward. Fast.

Don’t do it.
