A few days ago I got on the D80 when I saw this girl I have a crush on sitting near the back. Our eyes caught each other and it seemed as if she recognized me as well. She had an empty seat next to her, but there were so many empty seats in the back, I thought it would look really imposing to sit next to her.
I walk toward the back wondering if I made the right choice when I was overwhelmed by the body odor of a very large man sitting in the middle of the final row of seats.
This gave me the excuse to move forward and sit next to her. We began chatting and she gave me her phone number!
Thanks large smelly man!
Say, maybe we can make this a regular thing. Are you available to ride the C91 with me during the weekdays?
Or maybe we can ride the metro together. We can start at L'Enfant Plaza, and as a train comes in, I can scan the cars for talent. Then I can enter from the front of the car, and you enter from the back of the car, and then you can stink me out and I will sit next to some woman.
If nothing is happening, you can come up to me and ask her to take a photo of you and I. This is called "cultivating intrigue."
I hope you see this. I also hope that the woman I met on the D80 does not.
