A cute girl sits next to you on the train/bus/plane. What do you do? Overthink it of course.

True for the most part, except I eventually hit a point where I exclaim, in my head, "What if she's a fucking telepath?!" I then go on to telepathically tell her to fuck off and stop reading my thoughts.

I'm going to print this out and carry it in my wallet. If a cute girl ever sits next to me like this, I will break the ice by showing it to her.

Edit: I'll also show her the comic.

If I was the only person on the carriage and she sat next to me my first thought would be: "She's going to try to rob me."

It's been my experience that the people that have trouble making small talk with the opposite sex are those types of people that don't make small talk with anyone. I believe therefore it becomes easier to talk to say, a cute girl, if you are used to making small talk with everyone that sits next to you or you run into day to day. At some point you stop forgetting its a cute girl sitting next to you and its just a natural reaction to make small talk.

You need to plan these things. Inevitably you're going to run into a hot girl on a train. You sit opposite her. Your masculine, burly friend sits down next to her. He grabs her leg and starts telling her how he's going to fuck her in every explicit detail. You ask him to stop. He stands up and starts hitting you. He throws the fight, you beat his arse and throw him off the bus, he just earned himself a case of beer. You sit down next to her and she, forever grateful throws herself onto you. You'll probably get married and have amazing passionate sex every single night for the rest of your life, you've never been so happy...

At least that's how you imagine it when you try to catch her reflection in the window but realize you've been staring at a naked homeless man for the past 3 minutes so even if she was interested she probably thinks you're gay anyway.

Also, you are correct sir. However, I know I'm not the only one out there who does this. The funny thing is, just the other day, I was at a coffee shop and convinced myself I'd tell a woman I liked her haircut and it made her look like Zooey Deschanel- just for the sake of passing a compliment onto a stranger. I walked by her, convinced I would say it, but I simply continued out of the store without uttering a word. Who knows, it might have made her day.

If a cute girl so much as looks at me on the train I make like an armadillo and go through the rest of the ride trying to stop myself from looking like a weirdo.

Every. Single. Time.

I also play that game where I try desperately to stare at anything other than her so she doesn't think I'm creepy.

This comic is more layered than Inception.

If someone sits next to you on an otherwise empty train or bus, interact with them.

Man, if a girl gets on an empty bus and sits next to you, you have nothing to lose at that point.

I automatically go into boldly look out the window mode, as though I'm brazenly staring into the shining future I will create for me and the many children of hers that I will no doubt sire.

By the way if a girl sits next to you on a train that has at least 5 other completely empty rows, she wants you to talk to her.

As a girl who often takes public transportation, as long as the guy is clean and not actively masturbating, saying hi is no problem. If I really don't want to talk I'll end it politely, I won't bite your face off.

I have no problem talking to girls. I can say hello and the introduction part goes well for both of us, but my problem is that I can't make small talk with people in general, not just girls. The conversation goes to awkward mode quickly after the first minute or so.

I'm a female in my early 20's, and I frequently ride the bus to and from school. I was at the bus stop one day when some guy that I had never seen before randomly introduced himself and started making small talk. He seemed like a nice enough guy, so I spent the next twenty minutes or so of the bus ride talking with him. I ran into him on the bus several more times after that, and we always had a friendly conversation.

Fast forward a few months. It's Thanksgiving, my family is several states away, my friends are all out of town, and to top it all off, I've finally kicked my loser of a boyfriend out of the house. So yeah, I'm feeling a bit lonely. I head out to the liquor store, pick up something to drink, and head back home to wallow in self-pity. If only there was someone I knew in this fucking town who might be just as lonely.

OH WAIT.

Didn't that guy from the bus a couple weeks ago mention that he didn't leave town a lot? And we get on the bus at the same stop, so he must live in the neighborhood. A quick facebook search pulls up his profile. I send him a quick message with some vague statement about how we should hang out sometime. I soon get a reply that agrees, and he mentions that he's in town right now. I suggest he comes down and has a drink with me, since I'm just sitting around half-drunk, watching a crappy movie. He agrees.

Three hours later, we're fucking.

MORAL OF THIS STORY: JUST TALK TO GIRLS, ALREADY. THEY'RE NOT THAT SCARY, AND IT MIGHT GET YOU LAID.

Augusten Burroughs had a quote on a Starbucks cup, of all places, that went as such:

"I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stumped by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, “Hi.” They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word."

When you think of it that way, that moment of embarrassment might be worth it.

I don't know how many North Stations are out there, but...Boston? That carriage interior also totally looks like the commuter rail here

Last time I was on a train a cute girl did sit down beside me. Sadly I was browsing reddit on my phone and opened some inappropriate picture as she sat down (half naked guy in some outfit). 1 hour 20 min of awkwardness, thanks reddit!

Tips for success with girls on train/bus/plane:

Be attractive.

I got the courage to talk to the handsome stranger sitting next to me on a plane two years ago....we're still together. :) Getting up that courage was the best decision I've ever made.

I actually said hi once. She let out a big sigh and said "Great."

I met my wife on a public bus! It had less to do with me and more to do with my coworker, who has the natural talent of creeping out the ladies. I'm also generally shy and don't talk to strangers. On the bus he winked at her a few times and tried some terrible pick up lines. I made fun of him for it. She laughed and then sat by me. The rest is history! :)

TLDR; Get a creepy wing man; he'll push the ladies your way!

When a cute girl sits next to me on public transit, I figure it's because I'm not covered in filth and don't look creepy.
