1. There is a Market for Matchmaking on the Bus

Lesson 1: Your soul mate may be one stop away.

Did I find my true love today? No. Was I close? No. It's o.k. because I think if I can turn bus rides into a legit dating service.

Apparently I looked cute today. I think it was because I was wearing no pants. Leggings. I was wearing leggings. Tastefully. At least I thought I was until some thirsty dude was trying to holler from the passenger side of his friend's truck. Then again, I live in the Castro, so he could have been sending cat-calls to the guy behind me. That made me feel really self-conscious when I got on the train.

The next guy on the train started making googly eyes at me. It could have been the leggings. Or maybe he was looking at the guy behind me. I like to think he was looking at me. To make a really uneventful story short, he got off the train before me and started making these gestures that I should call him.

1. I don't have his number... or name... so I can't call him.
2. Even though he was tall, I'm beginning to think he was young... at least younger than me... either way that makes me officially a cougar.

I've seen people start up a conversation, exchange numbers, and begin a happily ever after between Embarcadero Station and Forest Hill Station.

On Craigslists "missed connections" there is always somebody that is looking on that one person they saw on the bus.

All I have to do is figure out a system where I can successfully connect random strangers on the bus.

Genius!
