(boyfriend is a gender neutral term obvs)
bus boyfriend is an alternative for those of us not fortunate enough to have a work crush. A bus boyfriend is someone within (or beyond 💋) your age bracket who does the same morning commute as you. if you don’t find anyone on your commute intriguing I’m sorry but you’ll have to be more open minded. People can become hotter or uglier in your mind if you’re willing to pay attention — either make for exciting fantasies. anyways, see you tomorrow at 7:24am xoxo If you drive a car to work, use this time to become your own crush.
this is a totally inward and wordless thing i find myself doing on transit (in periods when i am confused about myself). An anticipatory heterosexual practice and preparatory exercise in terms of returning to new york. where there is daily opportunity for this. I am recommending this while in the bus bathroom which is a mobile and speckled portapotty essentially. This “passes the time”
Go ahead! Imagine the meet cute for that incredibly hot person that just got on your train because it’s silly and fun and doesn’t hurt anyone to think about the “omg what if” for the 10 mins before they get off at their stop and you never see them ever again
to bus and subway drivers as they pass you. it can be casual and cute or very serious depending on your mood. i obsessively did it as a kid and am now bring it back
I wish I could re-rec with an image but this is in reply to @MARIAMARIA’s rec. I had to dig way back in my photos to 2022 and find the clay cow tools I made. Unfortunately, I abandoned them so they never got fired but maybe I’ll re-visit the project once I can afford pottery classes again.
