Smiley at me, and I did smile back
We weren't being very subtle

Isn't it time you put aside your fears? It doesn't mean you don't ' feel' afraid. It means that despite your fear you still function. You won't discover new worlds unless you are willing to sail out of sight of land...
Set a date. Say to yourself "On Monday, I'm going to say 'hello' to him." That's all. Just 'Hello.' No need to work out clever opening lines. Just 'hello.' Let him struggle with coming up with the conversation starter.
You can do it. |
The thing is, if I had seen this guy in a bar I probably wouldn't have hesitated and just go talk to him. But I'd probably have a friend with me for back-up. And If you meet someone in a bar who then turns out to be a complete moron, you can just say 'nice to have met you' and walk away. I don't think you can do that on a train ... At least not without coming accross as being incredibly rude.
But it is getting kind of ridiculous. I can see he's interested. He can see I'm interested (or I think he can see it). Just keep encouraging me, and I'm sure I'll find the courage soon
Public transport is still a mess this morning, it took me 3 hours to get to work. I'm having a Nespresso to get my brain started while I prepare for the first meeting of the day.
