Last week my two friends and i had just left the bus and we headed up the stairs to take the train home. This station, like few others, has a heater you stand by while the train arrives(NYC winter is harsh). We always take up the closest spots near the heater but that day a very good looking guy was standing on one side so us three gathered up on the other and continued our conversation. He nicely asked what high school I was attending and he mentioned he has a friend who went there. The train was then approaching so the conversation was cut short. He sat across from us and put he's beats (huge headphones popular in NYC). My friends and i continued talking and i figured he'd just be another cut guy on the train. I soon got up to get off the train and we glanced at each-other. A few days later my friend tells me that he gave her his number to give to me. We're just texting, getting to know each other. He seems nice. What do you guys think, should i continue to talk to him or is it weird since he is a complete stranger?

The problem is that it's so silent on the trains. If I was to say something, so many people would be listening. unfortunately, the trains are full of so many perverts who are probably all men. They make breaking the ice difficult because too many women seem to have their guard up to avoid anyone who might want to do them harm. It's sad.

I take E and then change on Queen Blvd to take the R or V to go to my job. For the past 15 years I have been doing the same and I see the same faces over and over. Yes and I do hide myself behind my dark glasses and ipod. The reason for using the dark glasses is because I do enjoy looking at people's faces. But my most enjoyable feeling is to look at handsome me. I usually scan the men from top to bottom. I love seeing well dress men in their suits and enjoy smelling their perfumes when I get close. Over the years, I have seem these men disappear and new come along, and I continue to do the same. I see these men standing or sitting across me, and I wonder what would it be if I decide to break the ice by just saying Hello or Good Morning, but I hesitate, and continue my journey to my destination. Maybe someday, I will, but for now... I will continue loving them from a distance. I ride the NY subway from Monday to Friday.

YOUNG people here are just too shy, I think. Once (in another country, I wonder if that's meaningful), I saw a guy and a very pretty girl exchange a very quick word about the flyers the guy was handing out. The girl moved on, and the guy called after her, "you're lovely, by the way!" That's what's missing here. When you see a beautiful girl on the subway, and you both exchange a second or two of eye contact, can't you just say "you're beautiful?" Just as a compliment, for heaven's sake. Not as a pick up line, just a compliment, with no expectation of anything? It's sad that people are too shy for that. I think most recipients of the compliment would take it just fine, even if they weren't interested. The subways are a GREAT place to meet girls (guys, whatever, of course).
