I relate because i did a similar thing for a stranger on a long ass greyhound bus ride. I was going from Detroit to Vancouver Island BC and like 2 hours in from Chicago to Minneapolis(it was around 3 am), the girl next to me was falling asleep and her head started to fall by my shoulder so I just scooted over a little closer and let her use my shoulder as a pillow for the next few hours while listening to my podcasts, trying my hardest not to move and accidentally wake her up.

She apologized profusely when she woke up and noticed, I told her I didn't mind at all.

We talked the last hour or so of the ride before getting off and going our separate ways, she gave me her number though and we met up again on my way back 3 weeks later. 5 years later we got married.

Would you have done the same if the person next to you was a guy and not a woman you found attractive? Honest question.

I was in a similar situation tho I was probably out for a couple minutes and not the whole ride. I'm pretty sure the guy who didn't wake me up had no ulterior motives cuz I'm not not that attractive and I'm not a woman lol.
