OK I work in the centre of London and every day there are sooo many women on the train its silly. And so many times i've been stuck sitting directly opposite and not known what to say or how to open (bearing in mind there's loads of people fairly tightly packed- generally all sitting down but occasionally a few standing too). Does anyone have any good openers?

It finally hit me the other day when this HB10 sat next to me (scandanavian) and started asking me general train station stuff. Then got out her phone and her background was a modelling picture of her wearing practically nothing. Felt like such a looser for not saying anything but every bloke in the carriage had his eyes on her and it was pretty quiet.

Would appreciate any suggestions.

Rio

i guess you could make a funny observation about someone else on the train

the train is just like any other place you can use pretty much any opener, , if anyone says anything negative just be like "Ok sorry for trying to make this train ride more enjoyable fby being social, you look like you dont go out much. " just go up to them or ask them for their opinion on something. be genuine and make sure your body language is congruent. good look bro

risky i think

i think the best opener for a train situitation would be eihter

funny :

YOU : " i hope u havent got a chicken in that suitcase like borat" smile and make eye contact

Hb : response "blah blah"

then take her response and think of summit.i hope ur a fast thinker!

just my input im new to this, and it could be compelte bullshit

Manic.

I would say:

Me: My grandma has a phone just like yours. Except for the naked dude.
Her: Hey, that's me in that picture!
Me: [proceed to bust her chops]

when the train moves suddenly, bump into her, appologize...then go from there


openers don't necesserally have to be verbal
