Random Bus Encounters

For the past month since I've started my new job in a new city (albeit it's just for the summer before I return back for school come this winter semester), I've been riding a bus to work. I hate to admit it, but I've been pretty socially deprived without my girlfriends and good guy friends back home, so I'm always on the lookout for any friendly faces.

Who knew that was so hard to make friends, hey? Anyways, just two days ago I stepped on the last of my three buses to work (it's only a 3-4 minute bus ride this last one) and while I was doing so I was also listening to a really cute funky song beforehand. I'm pretty into music so when I hear a good song I usually start smiling and dancing to it. To the outside world I might just look like a huge goofball!

Once on the bus, I kept on acting super bubbly to the people around me and I caught eye with this pretty cute stranger nearby! I kept on my goofy ipod-inducing smile and he smiled a super cute one back. I took a double-take because I wanted to see if he was still watching me in my super sunshiny mood. And he was! And I just smiled back before I left the bus.

The next day I got on and he was there, and I glanced right towards him before I gave him a "Hey! It's you!" smile and he gave one back. I was a bit behind him and he made a quick turn-around glance for a split second.




I'm tempted to just go and say "Hi" tomorrow just to see what happens! You think perhaps there's a mutual attraction here? Or is that too strong of a move?

Is it EVER normal to approach a stranger you recognize on a bus?! Oh well, I guess I need to keep up my goofy non-caring mood up! It's the only way I don't care!
