In the city where my office is located, the men seem to think whistling, hooting and horn honking is the best option. I've never witnessed actual success using this method, but its still used on a daily basis. Dorks.

The only way to pull off a successful commute hit, you have to be 100% certain you've eliminated the creepy factor before your approach.

Being a girl though, we have to spend more time to really read the girl otherwise she will be offended lol.
I think that approach is really the one the unsucessful people take. If you care that someone might be offended that you would have the audacity to complement their attractiveness by hitting on her politely, then you're doomed for failure.

The problem for most people is that if you're a regular train commuter you'll find that it's the same people on your train every morning. After a while of hitting on every potential candidate you find on the train, you could find yourself riding the train with nothing but older/married types and a lot of dudes every morning!

I've found that pulling out my flask and asking them if they want a swig of my homemade moonshine works best, especially if it's still morning.

I heard that you had to drag them by their hair so that they didn't fill up with sand?

The weirdest pickup move that actually worked for me was to pinch a girl in the tush on the way out of a bar at closing time. She even looked good still the next morning. Go figure.

I picked a girl up on the bus once. We dated for 2.5 years.

My key was to slip on a patch of ice while running for the bus, then forget to get off at the usual stop so that the two of us were the only ones waiting for the next bus.

Even if you ignore her when you do see her, or just kind of smile in her direction, she will feel internally compelled to come and talk to you if she's attracted to you.
Hidden camera and YouTube works wonders for dissolving skepticism.

Good question. Now that I re-read the OP, is MissKat looking for pointers on how to go about picking up other girls?

Would these be strictly lesbian girls or bi-sexual girls?

Did I log into another forum by mistake?
