    Leave the girl on the subway alone, she’ll talk to you if she wants to talk.

      So she’s allowed to talk to me but I’m not? I mean I wouldn’t talk to them usually but if you are friendly why not?

        The only acceptable circumstance is if you both talk to each other at the exact same instance. Extra leeway is granted if you say the same exact thing. If the utterance interval exceeds 250ms, the earlier speaker must turn themselves over to the authorities.

        Can’t believe you had to ask, really; these are basic social maxims.
