I did it. I beat you, stupid Tumblr. You said I couldn't do it, but I finally talked to a female stranger. I was on the train home from London and someone sat next to me and I looked over and it was this beautiful woman. It took about five stops for me to dinally turn to her and say "Excuse me" to which she turned and gave me room to get up. From her perspective, the guy sitting next to her who looked like he was about to throw up just needed to stand up. I couldn't speak to her after that, but I gave myself points for trying. I initiated contact, at least. So, I was standing on the train and I noticed another woman alone at the back of the carriage. I sat across from her and immediately started "Hi, I told myself I'd talk to a pretty girl today, so..." She countered; " Sorry, I don't speak English. No English." So I replied, smiling, "Okay, good, great. Thank you!" I'll take it! After however long, probably about two years, maybe longer, I've finally done it and I never have to come here and update you on this again.
