    That depends on how long you are waiting.

    I have had a long friendly convo at the bus stop and on the bus with a man from Madagascar.

    He started the conversation and said he was glad I was up for a chat because he found the British stand-offish and unwilling to talk at bus stops. In other countries talking to random strangers is probably far more socially acceptable or natural.

    It seems odd to wait somewhere for twenty minutes and not talk to the other people or person waiting. Dogs usually greet each other excitedly straight away and even head straight for a butt sniff.

    I always chat to folk at the bus stop. I've made some real friends over the years, and found a fabulous handyman, a gardener and a baker of novelty cakes.

    No romantic attachments though.

    All you need to complete the set is a butcher and a candlestick maker.

    Perhaps you should try that approach.

    Yeah it is temporarily depressing. Especially knowing if you did talk to them they'd probably think you're weird/ugly.

    I'm not sure I would like to be friends with a butcher, I'm one of those crazy veggie people, you see.

    The ironic thing is I have no problem talking to attractive women and find women a bit more open and friendly. In a gay club I was at the women who tagged along with their gay boyfriends were very chatty and one even sat on my lap.

    Part of the problem is that I don't like the idea of actually searching out someone. I would prefer for fate to bring us together naturally. I am a bit of a fatalist. If it is meant to be it will be.

    The alternative is just to think to yourself, "He's probably a crap shag anyway".

    So go somewhere where is it easy to talk to attractive people. Voluntary groups, interest clubs, or out on the town.

    When I hear this tale of woe I always get the impression the person would run a mile in a real life meeting situation, so like to devise all these tragic scenarios.

    You don't have to search if you don't want to. Just wait in a bush until someone walks past.

    That's a good idea.

    I should clarify at this point that I am Gay!!

    So watch out men...coming to a Tesco's near you soon.



    Well in that case you've got it both easier and harder. You can happily exchange a double take and smile without giving off the sinister rapey vibe that could happen with a woman, but you have to read the situation better first to avoid potential High Level Awkwardness.

    You were at the women? That's probably where you're going wrong.

    People seem to detect if you're casting glances at them. It's like a 6th sense :confused::blush:

    Do you ever feel frustrated when you meet someone attractive in public knowing that you can't have them?
    Nope, I find it equally fustrating when I find mingers thinking they have a chance with me.
    hahahahahahahhaaa:D

    Never happened before or since, but I once had a random 'love at first sight' moment at a pelican crossing, we were going separate ways. *sigh*

    There was one where I had some passport photographs done and I was waiting for them to be printed out. Whilst I was waiting a girl walked in and I thought to myself 'she is pretty.' Anyway, I looked away from her and then I looked up again and she had a smile on her face. She then stood in front of me and started playing with her hair. Then the man served her and she wanted to use the self kodak machine. My photographs were ready and I left.

    I really wish I had approached her.:blush:

    Mmmmm, verrry interrresting, had the OP been composed by a non gay man one would be forgiven for thinking the author a potential sexual predator.


    " Frustration " , " fighting the urge to have them " Classic signs of a sex maniac.


    See my secretary Miss Thighblast and make an appointment for a therapy session.
