There is this woman I see every morning on the bus on my way to school... but how to approach her?

I find her to be very attractive; but I can't tell what she thinks about me. Often times, I will catch her looking at me, and when I look at her she'll look away.. At the bus loop,, when she arrives, she'll usually sit across from me and kind of sit there completely still, staring at the ground, sometimes looking over at me... and yea, we've been playing these awkward eye games for the past few months. She's a complete stranger that I'd like to get to know.... but how do I approach her without seeming like a complete creeper?

This is weird. This can be harder than taking the beach on D-Day. Mess up, and you'll look like a total idiot. I tried to approach a girl that stared at me for an entire semester, and failed badly. I'm glad I left that school soon after.



The only thing I can say is ask a girl out that knows and talks to you. That way, it's just not as weird. Forget this chick.
Reply:go near her and with a smile say: it seems that we have been riding the same bus for long. She will say something then you will take it from there. Do not mention anything about being attractive and things because she already knows the reason you are talking to her.
Reply:If she is carring something with her, try striking up a conversation with her about that object. Continue your conversation with a different topic when you feel that the old topic has come to an end. When you or she is about to get off the bus say something like, "Can't wait to talk to you tomorrow/later."
Reply:Well, after much thought (and experience), smiling is the first step to getting closer. If both of you havent smiled before, make the first move then. You dont need to smile at her and flash your grin like your ready to gobble her up. Just a slight friendly smile is good. Notice what she likes...her bag, clothes, whatsoever. Is there a certain colour she prefers? Or maybe you just notice (after much observation), something that she likes. For instance, if she's carrying purple stuff all the time, she's probably a purple freak. Then perhaps you could offer her a purple flower.



OR.



If you are prepared to go a good distance for her, you can stand in the crowded bus and say " Morning good fellow citizens, Me, this young adolescent is searching for his lost soulmate, the dream gem of his eyes. If you are (describe her looks - hair, eye colours, etc), please apply for this position until the next stop arrives. Ill be sitting right here, waiting. :P



If you REALLY wanna be dumb, you could bring your friend (a girl) with you and be close with her on the bus, notice if the woman looks at you.



Im sure there are loads of other ways, I hope you talk to her soon.

or



"Hi my name is ________, what's yours......."
Reply:Say goodmorning. When she says good morning back. Say "my name is---, and I've been trying to get up my nerve to speak to you." You've made the first move in a totally non-threatening way: you've offered information and revealed vulnerability.



She'll probably introduce herself in return. Then you can start conversing. It might help if you think about what to talk about ahead of time. For instance, you might ask if she's on the way to work. If she says yes, be sure to ask what she does--not where she works. I've been asked the later question and it always engages my "is this guy a crazy stalker?" radar. Or you might comment on the bus schedule or the weather or the local sports team or whatever. Don't ask her a lot of personal questions--like about where she lives or works or goes on weekends--try open-ended topic questions instead. And don't ask her out the first day. Become bus friends first.



Best of luck.
Reply:O my goodness....... say somethin b4 you get off of the bus...... drop your phone number in her lap or something. this happened to me once i thought this guy was so attractive and i never said anything now ill never know. and this was like 3 years ago.
Reply:start with "hi" and just see where the conversation goes
Reply:Body language you describe makes it sound like she likes you too. Just ask her if she would like to go out sometime. She will probably say yes. Set a date right then, and get her number and her name : )



If she turns you down, oh well, sit in a different seat, I guess.



I think she'll say yes. Try not to seem nervous when you ask.



Edit: just keep it simple and ask her out. I've read some of the other comments, and although well intentioned, some of them could come off a little creepy. Girls these days aren't used to strangers giving us flowers for example. Just ask her to dinner and a movie.
