Bus driver fail

[surrey_sucks]

So today was the day, and I asked the hot bus driver out. At the end of the trip, I went up to him and was all awkward, and said, "So, um, I don't want to appear creepy or inappropriate, but I think you're attractive and was wondering if you wanted to go for coffee or something...?" Totally lame, but at least I did it. And just as I predicted, he

Oh well, at least you know now. And now that you've taken the initiative once, maybe it'll be easier to do next time you meet someone you want to go out with.

All I know is that he is not interested in me. I just don't know the reason, as I have no evidence that he is or isn't married. Just because someone says something, doesn't mean it's true.

You can always ask the other friendly bus driver to find out?

[surrey_sucks]

She doesn't know who he is. And what would be the point? He already said NO.

I think that you were really brave and I have been rooting for you this whole time. I am looking too and not finding anyone on OKCupid or craigslist, so I have considered many times asking out a guy in person but I've always chickened out.

He probably was married.

[surrey_sucks]

At least you have someone.

Looking for guys on OKC/Craigslist/the internet definitely does not work. I guess I will have to start asking guys out in real life...

I just wish I knew if he was lying or being honest. Well, I guess he and his spouse, if he does have one, will probably have a good laugh tonight.

I agree, it was brave, and I was hoping for a good outcome.

I'm sorry he was married/occupied/wanted to let you down easy/etc. I still think it is awesome that you asked. I personally never would have done it.

[surrey_sucks]

It was scary. But I already knew what the outcome would be, so I am not surprised.

I would never have done it either, but, I realize that people like me need to be the one to take initiative; nothing ever just happens to us.
