On the bus home today there was this really cute girl. The bus was jam packed so we were standing right beside each other. I asked if she was reading the paper that was on the bus (because she was looking at it) and when she said no I just picked it up and took a glance at it. Whenever we would have to move towards the back of the bus (to make room for more people) she would always be standing very close to me, the bus was crowded but not to the point that she was forced to stand beside me. When two empty seats opened up she sat down but I let an older lady have the seat and so I couldn't try anything until I sat down beside her about 5 minutes later. Then I started the conversation:
Me: excuse me, this may seem weird but were did you just come from a macroeconomics class?
Her: No I didn't
Me: Oh, that's weird you look exactly like someone from that class. (BS) You do go to the university right? (I already knew she did)
Her: Yes I do
I then asked her what she was majoring in, she asked me and told me she had a friend in that program. We then had basic small talk about University that was very brief. I then waited to see if she would re-initiate the conversation, if she did I would take that as a green light. She didn't and we ended the conversation without saying another word. Did I make a mistake? Should I have kept the conversation going? Was my opener any good or not? Also I made her laugh and smile while we were talking.

She just sounds to be shy if im honest. Because usually on public transports people tend to talk to randomers to make their journey more enjoyable so even if she wasn't interested she would have carried on with the convo but from what she said she seems to be very shy. Having said that, you opener was't good either!! Come on who opens a girl with a newspaper? :S

The problem with openers like that is, it's hard to get the ball rolling unless the girl starts talking back quickly. After a while, the girl starts wondering - "why is this guy trying to talk to me?".

Your opener was fine, but it sounds like you were too indirect. You also shouldn't care too much about what girls do - focus on doing your own thing. For all you know she wanted you to take her home after the bus ride and have a wild night of amazing sex. But since you put the control in her hands and waited for a "green light," you'll never know. See what I'm saying here?

Don't put yourself down like this. You havent done anything wrong. The girl doesnt know you and so she doesnt want to talk to you. Unless a girl feels comfortable she wouldn't talk to a stranger no matter how cute or safe you are. Another thing, its normal for girls to be unresponsive. I talked a girl for a small talk once in my class, we were talking for 2 minutes. Next class, I see her and asked her a few question to start talking, and she ignored me. I never took it as my own fault. Before, you talk to any girl, just tell yourself, that she wouldn't talk to me. Have a mindset like this or have NO outcome, then your game will be easy. Also, we as men, always tend to think that after doing x i will do y and then z. Guess what, with women and PUA, things arent like that. There are no series or steps that will deinitely take place in order to make your event. I would say, act by what the situation is telling you.

My biggest lesson in life in trying to get and talk to women. Things just wont follow one after another. You have to act based on the situation.

an opportunity is only wasted if you didn't take advantage of it

u tried, whether it worked or not remains to be seen, however the opportunity was acted upon
