I had a very cute guy ask me out on the subway a couple weeks ago. We were waiting for the N train for at least 20/30 minutes already, after midnight sometime on a Thursday, Union Square. Everybody's waiting and the bitching starts. How much we all hate the N train, that it's always a long ass wait, blah, blah, blah, the usual. Well, this guy kept the conversation going, and we talked about Astoria, life, etc., even as we got into the finally arrived and very crowded N train home. Turns out he had just come back from a speed dating event, and he had had a good time. I had just come back from a movie. He was very nice looking, dressed well, confident, almost cocky, but yet down to earth and endearing. Long story short - he asks me out, we exchange cards, he exits train. Two days later, I email and never hear from him til 5 days after that. He doesn't want to take me out anymore, and here's why - he had been out 3 times in the past week with a girl from the speed dating event. It was going so well, he didn't want to date others right now.
So there you have it, dumped for another girl before we even went out!!! Argh!!!!! :lol: :lol: :x
That was the first time a guy had asked me out on the subway, who wasn't homeless, or an old man, or creepy. He was a normal, regular guy. I was flattered, and it was a good pick me up for a few days... until reality set in, and well, that's new york for ya. So yeah, it really depends on how you approach a girl on the subway, but it's not bad to strike up a conversation. And those late nights waiting for the N train, just waiting and waiting and waiting, - those are perfect opportunities to strike up a conversation. Everyone loves to bitch about our lousy train service :-)
