No news yet. Sorry, I keep missing her, my timing has been a bit lousy but the last couple of days I've caught the bus past the dentist at around 8.10 I've noticed she has just pulled up so I think I've now worked out when I need to be there. Mornings are probably better. I don't want to approach her in the evenings when its dark and I might accidentally startle or alarm her. I've not given up hope.
For heaven's sake man! I will have to swap sides and ask her for you at this rate! Seriously - remember you want to interact with a person, another human being. She is not made of glass. Just imagine you are wanting to make a new friend and see where it goes from there. And good luck :)
Also hope she's had her breakfast and a coffee or she might be grumpy in the morning. I know I would be :-D Sorry don't mean to put you off, just pulling your leg. Good luck and keep us all posted.
Or better yet, try your luck on BikerMatch. Just look how many lovely lasses are following your forum topic now! hehe
No biker would ever pass up the opportunity to have a quick chat about their bike. Keep the first chat about the bike and then the next time you see her ask a couple more things and then maybe a quick drink to chat or something simular. Good luck either way
She may well be on here...... 😉!!! why don't you just do your cbt.... Or at least book it and that way you'll have something to talk about a bit. I would say being a lass who had taken the time out to do her test or at least lessons she will like a guy who goes out there and does his own test instead of wanting a woman to take him out....... Just my opinion.... And also if I read all this about me it would freak me ..... You need to talk to her now or is getting weird and I think you should delete this post!!!!
Well, I've only finally gone and done it. Who was it suggested I used the words "Hey, nice bike"? It worked a treat. Thanks for your suggestions:-) The conversation kind of just flowed from there. You were right, she was more than happy to talk all things "bike". So the ice has been finally broken and we chatted for a couple of minutes. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. She was really nice and I found out in our brief encounter that she has just passed her test. Big smile from her when I congratulated her. Thinking I should drop off a well done for passing your test card at her workplace, leave my number inside, say meet up in the new year and see what happens. Or would that be overkill?
Nah...too detached. Save the flowers and cards for later..... You've cased the joint...checked the right timing...got the bus sequences sorted...got past 'hi'... Build up the rapport with another chat. Ask more stuff. Keep it brief, thinking about stuff like local popular rideouts...does she go or want to go to a local bike night...mention how you're keen to get involved too..develop some common ground :)
Blimey, I'm impressed N2B, see I was right a simple way to start the conversation. Let's hope it's one of many more! 😁
I wouldn't personally go for the card but that is your call.
Pleased you took your brave pills n finally spoke. We were planning on a Glossop Rideout and reccie to spot the lady in question in order to do the deed for ya 😉
Very encouraged by the feedback. The brave pills had quite a sweet aftertaste. Thanks everyone. Just a dilemma now. It's a 50-50 split it seems between drop that note/card or not. First two replies were for, second two suggesting I shouldn't. I guess I should try the Alan Sugar approach and go with my gut instinct?
Done. I’ve dropped off a Christmas card and a separate congratulations card as I could not decide but thought I had to seize the moment. Hope it’s not overkill and that she forgives me for spelling her name slightly wrong.
I didn't leave any kisses in either card. Just a couple of smiley faces, wished her Happy Trails in the congratulations card and left my phone number saying if she wanted to meet up over a coffee that would be awesome.
