Hi my name is Stephanie. How do I talk to a white guy on the metro train going home?

With your mouth, how else? The Metro frowns on lighting fires to send smoke signals, and, if you try sign language in rush hour, you are gonna poke someone's eye out.

You ain't worried about that though, are you. You are worried about the whole black/white thing. Cut it out. It's 2011, not 1811.
How do you feel when a guy finds you attractive and wants to get to know you? Pretty damn good, right?
Guys feel exactly the same way.

Seriously, just go for it. What you got to lose?

She COULD try passing him a note.......but in the end a simple "good morning/afternoon" to start will have more promising effects..

Really? Passing a random person a note on the train? Just how old are you?

katej

I was joking .....much like sign language and smoke signals....

Geez. I sometimes think some commenters here are itching to have an all-out war over something funny.

I was thinking more like picture cards. LOL

Make eye contact until you know the color of his eyes. Sounds a little silly, but it’s long enough for him to notice that you have noticed him. Smile when you do that along with a friendly “hi” always seem to work for me. You got this girl, go for it!

I distinctly recall another OP asking how she should talk to a black guy on a train, or some mode of transportation. I asked the OP how she talks to white guys.

Same here, just switch one for the other.

Yes, I answered this question a couple of months ago. I guess she wanted a second opinion.

Mystery Man

Yeah, she been hitting my inbox for weeks. I eventually caved.

Sounds like you see this guy all the time on the train, so you can slowly build up to a full blown conversation (if he's receptive). You know one day just smile and say hello, then maybe the next day you can say a little bit more. This way you can slowly build up your nerve,

Good luck!

kamakula

Slowly building your nerve while becoming the person who always smiles or says hello on the train but never shows any interest. Better to ignore him and be totally oblivious to his presence until you're ready, then you can "happen to notice him and say something".
