Ok, something weird happened to me on the bus yesterday.
Before I go into any details I just wanted to let you know I still think valentines’ day sux azz and this is going to be long but hopefully entertaining. Just thought I’d clear that up now before we got any further.
Anyway, what happened was this: I was on a bus into town from collage and I was sitting down the back (I don’t know if the busses are the same elsewhere but here the last two rows down stairs face each other). And I, as usual, was reading (currently I’m re-reading 'the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy - the trilogy of four' for the third time. if you haven’t read it, do!) when I noticed a girl who had gotten on at the last top and had sat opposite me was looking at me. I glanced at her just to make sure and she took a teeeeny bit too long to look away.
now, at this point I should probably explain I’m not too good with the whole 'picking up girls in public places' end of things mainly cuz I have a quiet demeanor, I was in a long term relationship for the last four years or so and my mind tends to go off and have a tea break whenever I try to think of something to say while whatever's left in my head try’s to tell me I’m imagining it.
Thinking she was probably doing the
'staring into space and not noticing your staring at someone' thing I went back to my book. Just to be sure thoe I looked again and this time she was looking at my mouth and then she looked at my eyes and looks away. And because of the fore mentioned reasons this freaked the crap outa me, in a good way. Obvisly enough I doubted what I saw and continued on reading. Anyway, we repeated this little eye dancing-ness until at one point we were staring at each other for a good 5-8 seconds.
I know that doesn’t sound like allot but when your staring at a stranger who happens to be a very attractive member of the opposite sex and they're staring back it’s a pretty damn long time. It’s probably good to note that my mind had already left earlier and was currently enjoying a second cup of tea while it ignored my phone calls to come back and give me a hand.
There was a further two staring at each other things during one of which she discreetly bit her lip (yes, yes your right, I
am currently kicking myself and looking for a wall hard enough to hit my thick skull against). eventually I got to my stop and I made this very obvious in the hopes that she would follow me (yea, I couldn’t go any further as I’d have a very hard time getting home due to a lack of bus fare). She didn’t get off but she did watch me get off and gave me a big smile through the window as I watched the bus pull away.
Damn
Now that my mind is back and the situation has passed I have thought of hundreds of ways to ask her what her name is, to coffee/tea, for her phone number ect ect but its a bit late now.... or is it?!
I know the stop she got on at and I know the bus she got and I’m finishing collage at the same time today so I’m hoping to see her again. Should I ask her to coffee/tea or will I just chalk it up as another pretty lady messing wit my head (there’s been a few)?
I know I will ask her ether way but I just wanted to hear what you think on the matter and what you would have done in that situation.
