any idea how to open inside a bus, not at bus stop, although that seems pretty hard too.... my friend and i find that it might seem a little stalkerish to open someone at a bus stop, or inside a bus... any thoughts?

Hm...

I opened on a bus once by pointing out the window, turning my head slightly to the girl sitting behind me, and going "that building just sprung up! i SWEAR it wasnt there yesterday! Why do they make buildings that fast?"

She laughed, and we started talking, and since im a wuss, nothing more happened than i walked her home, since she lived en route to where i was going.

I guess you can timeconstraint by going "ill be off in a few stops" or something? Not sure...

How about just going "look, heres the deal. You dont know me, and I dont know you, but having a conversation is more fun than riding the bus in silence is quite boring, dont you think?"

she agrees, and you sit down, and start talking? I honestly dont know .

slai those are some good pointers but what i will add to this is if you want to open someone at a bus stop it is actually easier than it looks. there is albeit a hightened sense of being strangers but once you open they really cant get away and the logic is that they will feel a conversation despite how it is going is better than waiting in silence on your own.

i have opened three girls at bus stops. one was a reese wetherspoon look alike, another pretty much opened me and the last one was sixteen - which by the way is legal over here so ive got no attack of concionce.

i open with these...

1. what bus are you waiting for?
2. are you waiting for the 28? (my bus)
3. these buses are always late - do you wanna bet on what time it gets here?

they are simple and usually demand a one word answer, however being a pua that shouldnt defer you. after she says im getting the such and such bus .. you should say 'oh i caught that bus - it wasnt very much fun, to which she should agree (because lets face it noone likes there bus very much). from here you could use a situational neg or say something like 'what have you been doing today?'

as for talking on a bus this is much harder because once your on its a violation of privacy if anyone bothers you and i presume it would be the same for anybody else. perhaps if you make eye contact with someone opposite or next to you then you should prompt an interaction as it looks like an invitation. or if there is a proximaty alert and it looks like someone has sat next to you because they like the look of you, you should definitely open them.

openers that you could use could be

1. hey - where are you going to?
2. dont you find these journey always boring? do you want to play a game? (run the cube or kokology)
3. im new to the area - could you tell me where my stop is when it gets there? (this gives you a window from now until your stop to follow it up with a stacked opener.)

i hope this has been of some use to you. ill edit this as soon as i find something else out in the field. gonzocharlie

I actually had a fun experience the other day.

I got into a crowded bus with a buddy of mine, and we had to stand, like alot of other people. So theres this girl, an 8 with great eyes, sitting right by where were standing, in like a backwards facing twoseater, next to some other guy who was (i think) trying to chat her up, but she seemed disinterested. I look down at her, she looks back and smiles, so i smile and go "how do you like sitting?"

her: "its lovely!"

me: "get up and ill let you sit on my lap"

her: "haha i dont think so"

me: "allright, ill just sit on your lap then."

her: "eh ok?"

so i plonk down on her lap.

me: "youre a great chair! i love a girl whos a good furnitureimpersonator"

she laughs and we start talking, and ended up with us exchanging numbers and setting up a get-together the following week.


Crowded buses are great.

haha nice yeh.


Opening on a bus! Theres so many things you can use! Think outside the square, look at her and check her whole body out without looking like a stalker to see if shes

1. wearing funny clothing shoes, anything you can neg her with
2. if she has something in her hands usually girls go shopping
3. if shes standing or sitting down
4. if shes playing on her phone

man so many things:

1. If she is wearing funny clothing lets say red shoes you can say "love your red shoes, you know if you click them together youll turn into a genie. But thats not so bad because than i could order you around all day! "she laughs you say" Go get me a beer! (in a in control way)".
Than introduce yourself if she laughs and go into a routine.

2. If she has food bag gently look into it and say, "OMG you cant be serious!" She will probably look at you and go 'wtf' or say 'what?' than you say "you cant eat that it gives you Bad breath!! Oh wait.. no too late", and turn your head away and pretend to be grossed out. Than laugh if she does or smile IOI back, and introduce than routine.

3. If shes sitting you can say, "So is that all you do all day?" She will be like "huh? what" and say "sitting on the chair i mean, being lazy!" she will "laugh bla bla" tha n you say "whatever missy i know your type!" than intorudce and go into your routine. A huge IOI is if she says "Oh really".

4. If shes fooling with her phone say, "hey is that a sony ericson?" she will be like "no or yes bla bla" tha n say "how long is the battery on that?".. than pull your phone out and say "hey i just got this second hand a day ago, i don't know how to work this and that, come show me, you phone geek types know better", introduce - and go into your routine.


Phew

Tell me what you think guys

Hehe nice stuff, Impact .

Slai, you've always got a clever and creative idea, don't ya? Love the "Building" routine!

Impact, that's a great one about "Sit on YOUR lap" routine! Did'ja make that one up? I'd use it.

I say, sit next to her and tell her you changed your seat b/c the bus driver (or some crazy person you were sitting next to) was muttering crazy stuff like "Abalama! Alabama!" and "I'm a tree wizard" Or anything else you can make her shoot milk out her nose laughing with.

(Jokes affectionately borrowed from the crazy bum on Aqua Teen Hunger Force in the episode where Master Shake writes the new birthday song with Zakk Wylde.)

The building comment wasnt a routine, nor was the lap thing, it just sorta happened to play itself out like that .

i find that on a bus or train. politeness can pay off.

for an opener simply could ask " do you mind if i sit here"
then say something about how there is a lack of conversation on trains. be super polite.
