[Closed] How to introduce myself to a hottie on my commute?

Glad to be of service.

Never the less the OP should MTFU and talk to her. Unless he has a slug in a bowler hat on offer.

Unless he has a slug in a bowler hat on offer.

Well, there is a phrase I had never heard before.

Unless he has a slug in a bowler hat on offer.

Doesn't matter if he's got one of these

Someone once told me: Always ask the prettiest girl in the room to dance, because no-one else will.

I'm not suggesting you dance with her, but I'd be arranging to pull up alongside her at traffic lights and open with "I feel like I should introduce myself seeing as I pass you every morning. I'm Kit..."

You've already got a bit of common ground, so "How far do you commute?" wouldn't sound too prying.

Follow that up with a few cheery "Good morning [insert girl's name here (not just any girl's name)]" which should just about tee things up for your big finale, again at traffic lights...

"Morning [xxxx], this is my last commute as I'm moving jobs (or whatever)... I hope this doesn't sound too forward, but do you fancy a drink sometime?"

Bingo. If that doesn't work, she's a lezzer.

Edit: And if she has a tongue like the young lady above, ask for her thoughts on tubeless rims.

Smile and say something?

Am I missing something here? Unless shes a mind-reader.

Alternatively you could try the Vulcan sex-grip and make a point that you have sexual semtex in your lycra?

Just smile and say Hi...If you have to concoct something then fake a puncture and ask if she has a pump then go from there? What's the worst that can happen? She'll turn you down kick you in the balls then pepper spray you

Don't go straight to "would you like to go out with me" thats stalkerish.

At least say hello a few times, work up to "do you come here often etc".

And you really should post some pics if you want some help - if you are good looking then hopefully she will be shallow too (who else would want to ask somebody out that they haven't even spoken to ?) and say yes based on looks. If you aren't good looking then you will have to be very witty and original and hope that she isn't a total air head bimbo, voice like a truckie or something, unless of course you like that kind of thing.

Is this Edinburgh Canal Path you are talking about ?

Funny, I was thinking of you Houns when I started this thread. Er, and, er, not in [i]that[/i] way.

Doa kind of Tour de France thing and start chalking messages on the road she cycles on.

Maybe things like "I know where you live" or "I'm behind you" are maybe not your starting point though...

Yabba yabba, build up etc. Lay the tracks.

Cut to the chase. She'll want to see if your packing enough and you'll want to know if shes game anyway:

Link not working- just flash to her.

And it just so happens that I've passed a girl a few times this week on the bike as she's been riding back from work...I've already spoken to her but she's with someone 😡

Wait in a bush then as she rides past through this out

[img] [/img]

Then offer to fix her puncture

[i]She'll want to see if your packing enough[/i]

I hestitate but... if this is what I think it means how exactly is it established during the course of a conversation at a set of traffic lights without risking police involvement?

There is actually no traffic light option on the bit of route that I pass her on, and actually I've only seen her once a week the last few weeks, so building up a rapport probably won't work, unless I get the chalk out...

Hels, its on the North Edinburgh cycle route, and having a low opinion of myself I'd say I'd need to try the witty option, and I'm not posting pitchers up to let the baying masses decide. I'd consider myself BOBFOC 😀

I am reliably informed that women go for men who have a sense of humour and also who pay them compliments.

Start a daily conversation with a compliment. Introduce a joke (I don't know. Try Googling "Jokes that women like" or something).

If after 3 conversations max, she doesn't want to go on a date, it's not going to happen.

Which it's not anyway if the "my bf/husband" response was dropped in early.

Good luck.

I'd consider myself BOBFOC

What everyone above has said, but do it naked apart from a gimpmask. Will grab her attention and show your best side. 2 wins in one.

husband

I assume you've already checked for wedding/engagement rings?

There's a saying round these parts..."shy bairns get nowt" ...get in there man.

You have the perfect opener/icebreaker eg. "Hi, I've seen you a few times and I'll miss this cycle route coz I'm starting a new job next week"

Hopefully she'll respond and if she doesn't carry on with " do you cycle much outside work?" etc etc.

If she doesn't start chatting back then she is either not interested, a complete doughnut, or too out of breath to answer (in which case leave well alone as she'll be crap in bed).

Easy 😉

Put a W on each butt cheek and moon her as she passes.

Perhaps you could go at it with a more nautral approach, many animals leave an offering of food for a potential mate and back that up with a display of their virility and manliness. As you are based on Scotland perhaps an offering of something deep fried and a firm slap accross the buttocks will intice her?

😆

Is this after you have rugby-tackled her? Grab her hand hard to check? Abit like fishing? Release her back into the wild if she is married?

😆

God did i read that bit wrong first time round

Grab her hand hard to check? Abit like fishing

replace the h with a t. Thats a sure fire way to get her attention!!

Spear gun?

rugby-tackled her

I was going to suggest a cursory glance. However why not just T-Bone her.

well we've really built this up so a good opener would be to say "smile" as you take her picture on your mobile and when she asked WTF say it's to show the lads on the forum...

Soooooo, I'm guessing a lot of you guys are still single, right?

[i]Soooooo, I'm guessing a lot of you guys are still single, right?[/i]

Well, yeah, but only 'cos my wife left me. What's your point?

Or again, anyway.

+1... again.
So nickc (assuming c = Casanova) how should Kit do it?

Soooooo, I'm guessing a lot of you guys are still single, right?

Soooooo, a sense of humour clearly wasn't what your wife/girlfriend saw in you then?

Personally, I get easily bored with run-of-the-mill consensual relationships. Where's the [i]frisson[/i] if you just "meet someone in a pub" or "snog them at the office party"? You don't get any of the build-up, the planning. There's none of the screaming, and the sex is all wishy-washy and "do you mind if I...?"

[pulls up next to her at junction and smiles winningly]

"Hi, I see you cycling every morning and I'm developing a crush. Could we go on a date?"

BTW. [b]We need pictures![/b]

Did you [i]really[/i] need a smiley on that robdob? [i]Really?[/i] 🙄 🙂

I've just had a horrid horrid horrid yet somewhat hilarious thought...The North Edinburgh Cycle Route you say?

What bike is it? You see...I can think of a lass I know who cycles along there...and SHE POSTS ON THIS VERY FORUM!!!

Dun Dun Duuurrrrrrrrrrr

so youknow her, so you'll also know if she's a "hottie" too..?? can you confirm this 😆

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned. She could be a purveyor of the sapphic arts (lady mountain bikers are like lady tennis players) and therefore you should try 'Are you sure you're gay? Maybe we should make the beast with two backs a couple of times to make sure.' Lesbians love that sort of brash honesty. Afterall, they're only gay because a real man hasn't seen to them yet. These are proper facts by the way. I've seen a lot of californian documentaries on them.

Alternatively, you could just say 'Hi, my name's Kit. Would you like to get a coffee sometime?'

I can think of several people that cycle the very same route but dunt mean I fancy them...

oh and if you or who ever are the hottie - get some pics up so we can see you 🙂

SHE POSTS ON THIS VERY FORUM!!!

.... username? C'mon it's Friday stalking thread afterall!

What bike is it? You see...I can think of a lass I know who cycles along there...

After you - I could tell you any bike and you'd be so OMG!!Thats so TOTALLY her!!lol

I'll confirm/deny if you give me a clue 🙂

Do it...come on..tell us who it is????

Name and shame with pics please

ok....is it a CX bike?

Now this is [i]entertainment![/i]

I can regrettably confirm that it's not her on the CX. I am sorry; it was building up to be exciting though.
Now go to her at tell her "I love you like a fat kid loves cakes" works wonders with the ladies.

Must confess I'm at it as well.

In my case we meet along a bridleway and I've ended up timing the ride so that we meet at a particular gate at 17:19 exactly. That way I can check for wedding rings, scars, tattoos etc 😆

KIT hurry up boy and answer the man...

yeah come on....i got 8 mins til i'm off, then a 45 min drive without knowing!!!!!

daveatextrem... approach is making GeeTee's look shoddy and amateur - he should hang his head...

I'm a leg and bum man, myself, so I'd hate to ruin her.

I'm a "whichever part is facing me" man 🙂

You're not Dave of GeeTee fame are you?

Sounds like the lady referred to by roadie_in_denial is another option....

Right i'm off...there'd best be an answer on here by the time i get home!!

What kind of CX bike? Is she dark haired? There's a few that I've passed recently 🙂

Is it really so hard to start a conversation with someone who obviously shares a common interest ?
How about something along the lines of "Do you just commute by bike or do you ride at weekends as well ?"
A fairly neutral question to ask someone you meet regularly and a bit less socially awkward than asking her out directly.
Gives her the opportunity to say "Yes, with my boyfriend" or "No, I've got no one to go with".
Take it from there.

Sorry to bring Kit back down to earth with a bump, but he's said he's no oil-painting, and he's also said that she's a hottie... Isn't it time he lowered his expectations a bit?

Just concoct an imaginary fantasy about her and hold on to it for the next 10 years. The sex will be far better that way too

And you also get to keep the house. 🙂

throw a kitten at her?

a @@@k like a sheeps heart on top of a tin of vim

So much wrongness on this thread, but only one totally devoid of a soul could fail to find amusement in it all.

Ah, have a bit more confidence in yourself mate! He might have a fantastic personality, and apparently women are more attracted to a man's personality than his looks. Apparently.

Mind you, if he needs to ask for advice on here, then he's ****ed. Poor sod.

Faint heart never won fair lady, or something like that.

I'm guessing I might be the 'mate' in question. Forget engineering situations - I'll ask her for you. And if she really is as cute as she looks as she blurs past me every morning I'll see if she's keen on 3-in-bed, yeah? Nice.

I'd consider myself BOBFOC

Which bay you talking about, Torness? Where the sun don't shine and nuclear waste outweighs seawater? 😉

No one suggested the all in one skin suit yet with her face printed on the front and "Will you go out with me?"

daveatextrem... approach is making GeeTee's look shoddy and amateur - he should hang his head...

Thanks, I feel more like a stalker now 😉

Its all planned like a military operation

[img] [/img]

I approach from the north, arriving at gate B at 17:18

I've worked out she must work at an industrial unit at Clayford Farm, leaving at 17:15. Sometimes she's early and beats me to it, but the plan is to wait at Gate A where she can't see me. When I hear tyres on the gravel road, that's my cue to open the gate and pretend to look surprised.

You're not Dave of GeeTee fame are you?

No.

Why not just crash head on into her. HARD. Whilst tumbling through the air deftly cut a lock of her hair. You can then stick it on a bald Barbie doll and kiss it at home in your own time.

Dig a hole across the cycleroute and fill it with your body, as she rides over you call out your love for her!

Not even with your stunt-cock, matey! But sure, ask away 😀

Is there a billboard you could hire? Nothing says I love you like hiring a billboard.

I'm a "whichever part is facing me" man

your all pussy footing about the bloke'll never get anywhere like that.
Just pull up next to her look her strait in the eye & ask "Do you want to go halves on a bastard"
You'll soon find out if she has a sense of humour (or any concealed weapons)

Sit on the towpath with your bike sprawled all over it. In your arms, you cluch a dead animal (preferably cute). You wail "WWWHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY????!!!"

Tears are rolling down your face as you do so.

If she is a Veggie, you are in

How about asking if she minds you tagging along rather than whizzing past? Pootle and chat for some days then chloroform and zip ties to seal the deal!

No offence OP shes probably just being friendly.

I know most STW'ers will think even a friendly 'hello' or smile from the opposite sex instantly means that they are interested as they probably equate 'not interested' as a look of disgust.

The fact that you asked the question in the first place puts you in the above category. Sorry. 😆

LOL at this thread. I had a 3 year relationship with somebody I met in exactly the same circumstances about 15 years ago.

I just stopped alongside her one day said 'nice bike' she said 'thanks' I asked her where she'd got it etc, etc.

Two days later she was making me a cup of tea whilst I put a new cassette on for her.

Then we shagged.

Awesome story, brought a tear to my eye *sniffs*

Then we shagged.

What tires for shagging?

Never has a new cassette sounded so, well, [i]filthy[/i].
Fantastic.

Fantastic.

Sorry to disappoint you all...but I'm reliably informed that my suspicion is incorrect.

So...to the advice. Forget all the 'advice' about bilboards and kittens etc. You're going to have to talk to her. "Excuse me..." is not a bad starter, but after that you're on your own.

Oh, if you wear glasses of any sort when you ride your bike, take them off before you talk to her!

[i]I can think of a lass I know who cycles along there[/i]

so do i, as i mentioned earlier, and i have her phone number 🙂

that whitesheet plantation map is scaring me as i was riding there on monday!
