Someone met me (I originally posted this in Romance. However the only advice I got was that I'm a horny desperate male, so I'm seeking a second opinion, if you will.) Several weeks ago, I was at the bus stop waiting to go downtown. A reasonably attractive lady sat down next to me, and asked me if I had any change for the bus, as all she had were dollars. I scrounged my change and had enough to break a dollar and still have enough for my own fare, so I obliged her. We had some small talk while waiting for the bus, and when it arrived, we got on. She sat at the front, while I went to the back. She got off a few miles down the road, and smiled at me as she left the bus. I remember thinking about getting off there and continuing the conversation, but I wasn't sure if that persistence would have been appreciated, so I kept riding downtown. Fast forward to tonite... I live not far from an intersection that's a reasonable place to shop. Few fast food, convenience store, Rx, all that(perk of city life). I go into the convenience store, and while I'm in there, she sees me. She quickly walks up to me, and is talking to me like our conversation was only yesterday. I was blown away at the fact that she remembered me, yet I didn't quite yet remember her(this is seldom the situation). Once I remembered her, her name came back to me. Kenya. I couldn't hold back my smile, and I was sure I looked goofy as hell. Turns out she works there. So the fact that I knew where to find her was like a new opportunity. But I couldn't stay long as the line was starting to get long. But I did tell her that I'd come back and see her again(while stupidly failing to get her number, which I later was glad I didn't gamble that move). And the entire walk home, which was four blocks, I couldn't help but think about her. So the question is, what could that mean? If our small talk(and I remember feeling a little chemistry then) could have such an impression on her, what could that possibly say about her impression of me?

Sounds like a great connection and a great story for your grand...or a nice person who you were nice to being nice. Enjoy the rush and don't go back there like every two seconds because she will surely think you're creepy. You know it is 2010, she can ask you out if she wants to.

yeah i think so too It was a great rush, its not so strong now so its not an obsession either. I'll go in now and then, I don't know what shifts she works, but I'll assume evenings. If I see her again and its not so busy, I'll just see what happens.

You are a friendly guy, she is a friendly girl Ask her if she would like to get a coffee and talk more. Pretty damn simple. Don't try to jump her bones after you gulp your coffee down. Be nice.

lol its always simpler to the one giving advice I know that all too well lol. Its a different story when you're in the hot seat. But I do understand its simple enough. Thanks =)

Being shy is a pain, most guys understand You just need to push yourself some, and don't have a lot of expectations other than enjoying the conversation. You will then know if she wants to be a friend. And that will go where it will go. maybe make a friend, maybe find a girlfriend.

Are you in SFO or LIT?

its cool, we all wanna be ninja sometimes

go back ask her out for coffee and good luck!!!

take it to her we're missing the conversation and the moment you were in so no advice is legit here

I do not see a problem here! Either you ask her for coffee or ask her number and tell her you want to take her for dinner. If she hesitates or says flat out no - she has b/f and she liked you as a friend. Move on.
