i chatted up a girl who i used to see on the bus all the time, and what i said worked to perfection. i was sitting across from her, and i simply said, "you know what? i see you on this bus all the time, and we've never even said hi". she lit up like a christmas tree, and said, "i know, right?!". and we started the conversation that way. i asked for her number, and she gave it to me, but then later that day, she said that she had a boyfriend, but that she would have wanted to go out if she didn't. i don't know if she was lying just to not make me feel bad, but i didn't get that feeling. if she wasn't lying, then she was a quality woman who had morals. after that, we still saw each other often, and would have small chats before she got off the bus-stop.
