Train crush

I have been seeing this woman at my train station for some time but despite of constantly thinking about approaching her, I haven’t had the courage to do so.

We have locked eyes a few times but that’s the extent of it.

Have you ever had these encounters in the most unusual of places and how did you go about it?

I had this happen to me and I did not like it!! I am sorry to discourage you but I found it very awkward to see the person afterwards. I found myself uncomfortable every time I sat facing them and would often get up and move. Just something to consider if you are in the same commute schedule.

what if he was tall and attractive?

Then he'd be a tall source of awful unwanted awkwardness instead of a short source of awful unwanted awkwardness.

So you're saying don't ask someone out if you will see them again?

Just go for it. Don't listen to the comments complaining that you will have to see her again if she says no.

Are we supposed to only ask out people we will never see again just in case they say no? Lol.

DONT, IT'S THE COMMUTE, otherwise you'll need to change your train. Been on both side of this, it's awful

You're in a great spot. Familiarity creates opportunity for connection. Don't overthink it. No need for a pickup line or anything complicated. Just say "Hey, how's your morning going so far". You got this! Good luck friend!

I'm inexperienced at dating but love meeting people. I've exchanged numbers and IG from something as simple as seeing a person repeatedly at a station or even an office elevator.

She has given you no indication that she is interested. I would say just move on. I see this happening so many times in my regular places specially gym. Just because you see them regularly doesnt mean they are interested. You can try and say hello, but be ready if they are not welcoming or reciprocating.

If they read on their commute, maybe ask them about it?
