Help: Meeting people on public transport
If you met someone on the nightbus home whilst drunk and got on really v. well with them but didn't get their phone number or owt, would it be weird to send them a message on facebook?
would it be weird to try to be their friend on the basis of a 40 minute drunken conversation you had with them?
Also, could this be done with a girl without her instantly concluding that you were trying to sex her?
you need to send into lovestruck in the london paper
You should sue
Um...
Don't you want to sex her, though? Maybe she wants to sex you too.
Not really
She's too old for me and I don't fancy her. But she was nice and I'm lonely.

this.
yeah, i think so
there was plenty of common ground
yes
yes i have
No
Leave a message in one of the free London papers like that guy did who saw Klaire every day on the train. That'll be OK.
Add them
and send a non-stalkerish message. That would be fine.
Given
sceptics I don't even know are always trying to add me, I see no problem with that.
I of course meant
septics
It's
not really the adding. It's the attempted befriending....
I mean, she's only been in London for about a week. Surely she'd be happy to have some strange man to go to the pub with - right?
You should have asked for her number.
But surely that would
have been weird too?
yeah dont even talk to girls
they are a bit weird.
.
*sigh*
trust me
- i dont. i generally just talk to myself.
But people
don't meet people drunk on buses and then become good friends with them, do they?
i dont really think
it matters when or where you meet them. Being drunk certainly shouldnt rule out anything. whats the worse that can happen?
so what would
jesus do? or gamecat?
well
get in contact with her, see if she remembers you for a start. if she does and seems to have happy memories, see if she wants to go out for a pint, maybe with a group of your friends (if you just want to befriend her rather than sex her, though that could be true for longer term sexing).
i personally have no self confidence and really generally dont talk to women. or people in general. especially not on public transport! but thats just me. Look at the film Speed!
honestly, im sure she wont be offended if you got in contact with her.
plus, they smell.
only one thing you can do
reuse the same busroute every night, drunk, until she reappears. Then go "Hey, remember me?", and touch her face.
with clammy hands
thank you for
your sage advice
sadly this is the best piece of advice you've been given yet.
was she pretty?
she was alright
i dinnae think i could meet her socially without her being suspicious though, y'know. even though i did mention the g/f
i've
already added her as a friend. we've had a very short conversation with her saying 'was it you I met on the bus?' etc etc.
can
i be friends with her? or is it weird?
can i invite her to get drunk with me and my flatmates? that sort of thing...
I agree
I met a guy the other day in the street at the cash point . And no I wasn't hanging about on the street corner. We've been out for a drink since then and he's a really nice guy with wicked music taste. These days it seems it's unacceptable to talk to strangers, probably because of our lack of communication skills, caused by technology, threat etc....I'd say go for it, life is indeed far too short.
your girlfriend is in a different
timezone
continent
hemisphere
anyway, what was so good about the conversation?
so?
ah, i dunno. good music taste, a geordie, very friendly. and i don't have many friends in london (or anywhere)
^see above
but really it would be nice to invite her round/out to get pissed.
link plz

picky!
..
she's about 30. and i'm quite happy with my who i've got, like...
meh,
even if i did like her she'd be too old for me. or perhaps i mean that i'd be too young for her.
Send her my way
I've just had a haircut
