Would you flirt with someone on public transportation?

[LegendarySir]

I'm too much of a chicken to flirt with someone in public transportation, but I've thought about it and wanted to do it, especially when she checks you out.

[lightbulb27]

yes I flirt wherever there is a flirtee. It's sort of like sprinkles on ice cream.

[StingRayxoxo]

I wouldn't seek an attempt to flirt but if someone caught my eye that was easy to talk to, I might make conversation.

[Renee93]

Same here

Naughty 😃

What's your bus or subway route?😏😉😁

[jennifer_bloom]

I would not. I remember years ago I was chatting with a friend from school and I told him I met my friend at the bus stop and his response was "never be friends with somebody you meet at a bus stop." I believe the place you meet somebody will often determine the quality of your connection with them. Some of the most amazing people I've ever met were people I met while attending charity events. Some of the worst people I've ever met were those I met at pity parties designed for people with problems.

[ElissaDido]

It happened to me before but i never initiated it. I wouldn't flirt with a stranger.

[SteveSmith1985]

I love this question. I would love there to be a bunch of people who take the position: "I would totally flirt with him/her, if only we weren't on the bus." but I doubt it. Sure what's wrong with a little public transportation flirting.

[Wemix]

Don't know if you can call it flirting but I had a crush on this guy who was a grade over mine in high school. When he graduated I didn't see him anymore and slowly forgot about him.
However, I had a training period during that last year, and the bus I had to take to get back home everyday happened to be the same as his.
One day I took the bus that came 5 min earlier then the one I usually took and that's when I saw him sitting in the back (the stop before my workplace was a UNI so I guess he studied there). I kind of stared as I was like "is that him?" before looking away when realising that yep that's him, but the shocking thing is that he had the same reaction, like he also recognised me when I thought he never noticed my existence at school.
And so, I made sure to take the bus at the same time as him everyday to steal glances and a smile he returned. One day I was sitting in front of the doors to exit, he came right in front of me and stared with a smile. He was so lost in looking that he forgot to click on the stop and had to awkwardly scream at the driver to please open the doors when we arrived to his destination. He got out looking down while blushing cutely and that's the last time I saw him as that was my last day working there...

[Hassaniscool]

Why didn't u talk to him

[Wemix]

Too shy I guess

[Hidden_P]

Personally I think it depends on you’re definition of flirt.
Flirty comments, clearly being socialable but breaking the ice is fine. Being flirty like you want to date forever more no.
I’ve always made cheeky comments and that’s been fine and responded to similar but if you expect a relationship... relationships are more than “was your ass sticky after being on that seat”

[Apope16]

I already have. Its not like I planned it when she sat down. But she seemed to be talking to me and I could tell she was wanting me to talk to her. So I started flirting with her by telling jokes. She wound up giving me one of the candies that she bought. I think it was a chewable laffy taffy. Strawberry flavor. I have posted about this also... I have about a week ago sat down to eat pizza with a total stranger that was a pretty hot girl who was eating alone. We had a good conversation. Because do such a thing is so creepy usually. I never ask them out or for a number. I try to present as if I have no agenda. So I am relaxed. Its worked out pretty good. But I dont think it is cool to just ride transit and badger the girl next to you. You say hello. Tell a joke. If they smile then you shut up. If they return with a random comment then it might be an invitation that they are attracted enough to want to chat.

[gorman24]

Public transportation is already kind of a creepy place, and I am sure flirting with someone would definitely raise their guard up a lot. Unless they knew you and were comfortable around you. So I guess it depends on the circumstances. If a girl started flirting with me when I am already feeling gross riding public transportation I wouldn't take her seriously anyways. (Gross being I am pretty poor, or car is in the mechanic and I am forced to use public transportation and am already in a bleh mood)

[Neeliexxx]

I often travel on business, and on flights I find most times the man in the next seat strikes up a conversation. So long as there are no sexual undertones or a surreptitious attempt to touch, it's fine. Otherwise I make it clear he has transgressed boundaries.

[BrittBratt2416]

ehhh I don't know, probably not? Didn't flirt a lot growing up and the thought trying to flirt with someone makes me want to cringe. lol Anyway, no... it's kinda embarrassing with other people around, especially if you say something cheesy or stupid then everyone else witnessed it.

[turd_of_warning]

Have done it a few times. But as a guy, you need to be careful not to make her uncomfortable. Don't make her feel boxed-in with nowhere to go. Be aware that she might feel embarrassed at being hit on in a crowded carriage, and not want the spotlight on her in that way. It also goes without saying that you should not creepily follow her home in the evening.

But sometimes someone will glance at you flirtatiously, and you can try saying hi and seeing where it leads.

[Lipsy1]

If your only chatting to a guy and he seemed ok or nice then i would uplift the convo abit. I am quite a dirty minded girl and wouldn't think twice of saying something to mean in a saucy way. Its how you feel, and obviously being a stranger not everyone is going to feel comfortable in flirting on transportation..

[Inexpensivefurniture]

No. I wouldn't want to make anyone feel uneasy or trapped. Say I flirted with someone and they didn't like it. Now they are stuck on a bus or train or whatever with me. And they might worry that I'll follow them when they get to their stop. I've heard way to many horror stories from women of men doing stuff like that.

[GraveDoll]

No. Close quarters at that. This Would be an extremely uncomfortable ordeal. No matter who hitting on who.

[Guardian45]

Umm. Why?

[Passinggas]

I have a big mouth irl and I talk to anyone while I am traveling. I told someone sitting next to me once that you watch we will turn this 6hr flight into a short ride and we did. Talking and talking continuously. Hell, I talked to a woman for 9hrs on a connect at a hub. If a woman turns it to flirting sure I will. If she takes me in the gutter I will probably follow her there too.

[Passinggas]

And just to add, I was talking so much to this one woman that we both jumped when we thought we hit some major turbulence, but it was the landing. I usually pay attention to when we are at least on approach.

[Moonchild714]

Yeah, I have many times. Dated lots of guys I've met on public transpo.

[serenaluna666]

Yes, unless the person seems to be on a rush or something like that. There isn’t the right time or place to find love!! Peace

[cth96190]

No flirting.
No interaction, unless it cannot be avoided.
Since Feminism and @metoo, normal social interaction between men and women has become too dangerous for males.

[Silver158]

*sigh*

[Torari]

This is simply not true. The effects of me too are massively over blown by media, and only really applied to rich men in the spot light to begin with.

[cth96190]

@Torari
I see that you are only 20.
I hope that your naive faith in females does not result in a false Title IX allegation, or a changed her mind the morning after false rape allegation.
That sort of thing happens a lot more than you appear to think it does.
It would be a pity if some hormonally unstable bipolar girl destroyed your life before it began.

[Torari]

Been through dozens, maybe even over 100 girls. Relationships, dates, one night stands... Not a single allegation so far, not even by the bipolar girls.
My age has nothing to do with this. In the real world, getting accused of rape is about as likely as coming across an albino deer. That is, assuming you aren't actually raping and aren't a celebrity attention leeches want to latch onto.

[Silver158]

@Torari That is a good point and very true although you can still end up with a psycho ex accusing you of rape. While I've not had that exactly I had one who was accusing me of stalking her while "casually" walking past my house all the time. But I do agree with you in nearly 33 years this was one thing so it's rare but it can happen.

[Daisy007]

No.. if i ever take public transport it's to go somewhere not to far (like 10min max) & usually there's older people on transport in LA.

[FancyPantz]

We had a very friendly banter going for 45 minutes and then he got off the train and I never saw him again. I'm unsure if it was flirting.

[AllThatSweetJazz]

I have once. It was one of the first times I ever approached someone and I was trying to be more active and take initiative.

The issue is that if there for more than 5 minutes, then if it fails you're stuck there with them and that was my experience. Very awkies.
