I've had two different girls doing the preening, trying to get you to notice them thing on the train recently.

First one was late at night and the second was during peak hour this afternoon. How do I approach/open girls without looking like the creepy train stalker?

I am thinking maybe get off at the same station and try to strike up a conversation and get an insta date if possible. Opening a random girl on the train seems like it would be awkward with everyone forced to listen to your pick up.

BTW, I know this is the first but I ain't trolling I just seem to spend way too much time on public transport.

Approach has to be indirect I feel. From then on it's the usual steps.

Without overdoing it have a few drinks. On my last train trip I was an approach monster. "How do I" and "What if" didn't even occur to me. "Hey, where are you headed?" was all I needed. I had one eye on the cops in the station (it was late at night and they were covering a busy urban station to keep the riff raff at bay and protect the females) to make sure I didn't seem too insane and set off suspicion and concern. I didn't draw any heat.

Thanks. What do you think would be a good indirect approach? Bear in mind she is in a trapped situation (moving train) and people are hanging around and not talking so a conversation stands out (hence my uneasiness. I don't like being the centre if attention).
An open ended question would be best right? Find something about her to comment on?
Make some comment about train rides?
Use a prop (for example show her the mx [train tabloid] and point to something in it and get a conversation going over that)?

While getting drunk would make me an approach monster its not a great idea to show up to work drunk. I am seeing these girls in the course of my day to day activities and figure its a good opportunity and would like to capitalise on it. However, the day I get the late train I may go to a bar with happy hour and give your idea a try.

Make an observation. Start rambling. As soon as she asks you a personal question (which you should answer evasively) you're in.

Always take advantage of your surroundings or any accessories she may carrying or using(laptop, Iphone, Ipod, Tablet, book) to open her and to carry the conversation in the early stages. For example, it's a long train ride, she's sitting down and is messing with a tablet. A good opener said with a smile: "Im glad to see one of us came prepared for the long trip". Another example, this time she's reading a book. A decent opener would be: "Is that a good book?". I could list a few more examples but you can see more or less where Im going with this.

Thanks. I'll try this.

I use the Fassbender method in Shame.

Eye fuck each other, when she stands to get off get up and stand directly behind her and place your hand below hers on the pole.

Exit train and run game.

I've done this twice successfully...as I don't ride trains that frequently.

Looking back at what I did, here are the major themes:
Indirect approach (Commenting on the objects they carry or that they have an interesting accessories or an interesting face or their music blaring through their headphones is interesting)
Close proximity but leaving her the ability to exit(To provide subtext and deniability for her)(Like, a seat across from her, or the standing pole near her seat)
Getting the number off the train or near your stop to provide a constraint.

Hope this helps!
