I take buses quite often, and I'm also a college student and see tons young hott college girls on the bus with me, but I always wonder what's the best way to approach and best way to end things off. In this situation, I cannot usually predict where an HB will leave my presence, or if I approach, I wouldn't want to be stuck sitting next to her for 30 minutes + if she's not interested or he nothing to say or just being catty. It's not exactly the easier situation to escape from 'if' she turns out to be less than impressing.
It also comes with a number of other things that's can just be unfortuant, such as them sitting in an angle being blocked off, etc.

Has anyone have any good techniques to approaching women in this setting that could prevent these issues?

BUMP!

Only managed to do this once, but always decide not to ( so many good opportunities) Thing is my bus every day is almost an hour, and your right you dont want to sit next to them long, a good pua is in and out. Also another two things, the weird silence on public buses. And everyone has freaking ipods now haha

Might i suggest the bus stop. that way you have a fair idea when ur bus is coming and you dont need to sit next to them. that could be an IOD haha

you can use indircet opener's to sets if they were in a buss , if you used the direct opener it wouldnt always work , its not like your trying to approach , but when you use an indirect opener , you get a chance to sit and talk to her as if you wanted to talk to someone , try it on sets it would work , and if there was a girl alone , she would probably be bored and would appriciate you talking to her .

try it , even if you got rejected you will still gain experince , its better than sitting doing nothing , atleast you will learn

and rember to think positive , dont go like what if .... what if ... , just go and be confident and relaxed and you'll start to get results

Meh.. buses are not ideal. Not like the subway were you can switch cars at the next stop.

The only way to really pull off the bus situation is to engage her when you are close to getting off. If you know you will be on the bus for about another 5 minutes or so.. thats the time to talk to her.

There is always the risk of her getting off before you and losing the opportunity.. but there isn't much you can do about that. If you are willing to engage her right away and get off the bus early to wait for the next bus.. that can work. But most of us don't have that kind of time and its silly to re-arrange your whole schedule to pick up a girl.
