Help: Meeting people on public transport

JacobJones [Edit] [Delete] 56 replies 15:28, 21 August '07

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

    meths | 21 Aug '07, 15:29 | X
    • You should sue

      TheoGB @Jack_El_Biscuit | 21 Aug '07, 15:31 | X
    • Um...

      Don't you want to sex her, though? Maybe she wants to sex you too.

      TheoGB | 21 Aug '07, 15:29 | X
      • Not really

        She's too old for me and I don't fancy her. But she was nice and I'm lonely.

        JacobJones @TheoGB | 21 Aug '07, 15:30 | X
    • ^

      this.

      guntrip @hollywood_freak | 21 Aug '07, 15:30 | X
      • yeah, i think so

        there was plenty of common ground

        JacobJones @Jack_El_Biscuit | 21 Aug '07, 15:31 | X
        • yes

          yes i have

          JacobJones @Jack_El_Biscuit | 21 Aug '07, 15:32 | X
        • 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.

          Mr_JDTraynor | 21 Aug '07, 15:30 | X
        • Add them

          and send a non-stalkerish message. That would be fine.

          dark_truffles | 21 Aug '07, 15:30 | X
        • Given

          sceptics I don't even know are always trying to add me, I see no problem with that.

          LordLuciusBanter | 21 Aug '07, 15:32 | X
          • I of course meant

            septics

            LordLuciusBanter @LordLuciusBanter | 21 Aug '07, 15:32 | X
          • 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?

            JacobJones @LordLuciusBanter | 21 Aug '07, 15:34 | X
        • You should have asked for her number.

          fionapinkstars | 21 Aug '07, 15:34 | X
          • But surely that would

            have been weird too?

            JacobJones @fionapinkstars | 21 Aug '07, 15:35 | X
            • yeah dont even talk to girls

              they are a bit weird.

              gamecat @JacobJones | 21 Aug '07, 15:37 | X
              • .

                *sigh*

                JacobJones @gamecat | 21 Aug '07, 15:37 | X
                • trust me

                  - i dont. i generally just talk to myself.

                  gamecat @JacobJones | 21 Aug '07, 15:39 | X
                  • But people

                    don't meet people drunk on buses and then become good friends with them, do they?

                    JacobJones @gamecat | 21 Aug '07, 15:40 | X
                    • 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?

                      gamecat @JacobJones | 21 Aug '07, 15:42 | X
                      • so what would

                        jesus do? or gamecat?

                        JacobJones @gamecat | 21 Aug '07, 15:53 | X
                        • 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.

                          gamecat @JacobJones | 21 Aug '07, 15:57 | X
              • plus, they smell.

                guntrip @gamecat | 21 Aug '07, 15:40 | X
        • 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.

          Parsefone | 21 Aug '07, 15:42 | X
          • with clammy hands

            starshaped @Parsefone | 21 Aug '07, 15:44 | X
          • thank you for

            your sage advice

            JacobJones @Parsefone | 21 Aug '07, 15:50 | X
            • sadly this is the best piece of advice you've been given yet.

              was she pretty?

              keiths_tele @JacobJones | 21 Aug '07, 15:54 | X
              • 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

                JacobJones @keiths_tele | 21 Aug '07, 15:55 | X
                • 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.

                  JacobJones @Jack_El_Biscuit | 21 Aug '07, 15:58 | X
                  • 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...

                    JacobJones @Jack_El_Biscuit | 21 Aug '07, 16:01 | X
                    • 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?

                      keiths_tele @JacobJones | 21 Aug '07, 15:59 | X
                      • so?

                        ah, i dunno. good music taste, a geordie, very friendly. and i don't have many friends in london (or anywhere)

                        JacobJones @keiths_tele | 21 Aug '07, 16:02 | X
                        • ^see above

                          but really it would be nice to invite her round/out to get pissed.

                                        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.
