The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Another reason to hate winter

I've covered this before, but I admit I didn't think of this angle:

Because everyone's wearing gloves, you can't spot whether or not there's a wedding band on that otherwise appealing woman standing next to you on the subway platform.

Do I admit that I do look? (Not that it makes the slightest bit of difference, of course.)

And are there any statistics on the success rate of public-transit romances?

I don't think this one is going to work out.

BTW, do you suppose the space shuttle qualifies as public transit?

Don't know if there are stats for that; using me as a case study, the rate would be near-zero.

However, I do know someone who not only found romance on a train platform, but even moved across the country as a result. Must've been a warm day.

I'm not sure how many attempts these people made, but 10% of Londoners in a poll said they made a connection connection.

I've heard that cruise ships rock. Is that public transport?

Perhaps I'll try my luck on the bus this Valentine's Day. With my luck, it sure couldn't hurt.
