I don't know. I've seen her everyday for the past 5 months catching the same 52 bus, it just seems ridiculous that I havn't actually spoken to her. Sure we acknowledge eachother with a smile or a head nod, but its not enough. I guess I never really built up the courage to talk to her when about 3 or 4 friends are surrounding her. I'm always thinking of how I can get her seperated from them. The only time when she's actually alone at the bus stop is in the afternoons, but thats a rarity, and when she is there I always blow that good 15 minutes before she leaves.
On top of that I wouldn't even know what to say or what she'd say. I know we have to take a leap of faith sometime in our life but I'm scared of heights. Should I just say "Hi" and take it slowly from there. Just don't know what to say to her. I mean what if she had a boyfriend? I don't know if I could take that rejection. I've never been rejected before, girls are always asking me out.
I've always found this works. Not always in groups and can backfire, but it's worth trying.
If you've looked at her, and you've kind of acknowledged her thus-far that's a good enough reason to walk past her, double back and go...:
"I'm sorry to interrupt (if in a group,)" "Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you, (if alone,)" and from here you can go pretty much anywhere. Personally, I'm partial to the "You look like a friend of mine/this girl I know/someone I know. You wouldn't happen to know (insert name,) would you?"
Conversation started. Note, that this isn't a fullproof thing, and if you make it that far in a group you should introduce yourself to the ladies in attendance, and no, there is no way of not making this come off as odd because we've just interrupted a group and introduced ourselves without any prompting. Thankfully once that's over, you can leave, and the next time you see her you already have a basis for what to talk about. The time you so rudely interrupted her and her girlfriends. (Kidding.) But perhaps that helps?
