I miss this.
Today I was waiting for the bus and someone asked the time. She had come from anatomy class, and started talking to me. I have to tell you she was pretty and she certainly did seem to like me. So - for sure - I was flattered and did my best to make conversation while not relying on the usual ‘what’s your major?’ type of question that doesn’t distinguish you from any of the other people a person might meet. It was easy, too, because she had just come from dissecting a corpse.
Anyhow, she didn’t ride the bus for long and no numbers were swapped or dates made, but I have made up my mind to feel good about the whole situation. Or at least not bad about it.
I often can’t tell the difference between things that are actually good and things that I simply don’t need to panic about.

“It was easy, too, because she had just come from dissecting a corpse” ??
I suppose I’ve had some strange first date conversations myself - capitol punishment.
Good on ya.

I’m sorry, Mark. David from staypuff.net told me to come to this site and give you a hard time. He said you’d appreciate it and think it was funny. I guess you didn’t. I’m sorry if I’ve offended anyone.

I had a guy staring at me on the bus last night. A young relatively attractive one [usually they’re old/drunk/insane]. Nothing happened, of course.
What the hell are the rules for one off public transport engagement? Other than stalking…
Panic - lol.

First conversations are some of the best.

I think your link is busted, Spleenie. (The comments were just some troll trying to fuck with me - nothing remotely intelligent was said.)

Odd, I click on it and it works, anyhoo, was just some random anonymous brave person telling me I wasnt important or something.
How silly. I am terribly important!
