I speak from experience here when I say that you can't wait for opportunities to arise - you must make them yourself! There will always be 20 great reasons not to talk to her at a particular time. Always.

I'm so introverted, and find it really hard to talk to guys I like. Recently, I realized that by saying I just didn't get a chance to talk to this one guy, I was lying to myself. In fact, the only reason was that I was scared. So I said something to him even though it was awkward. Now it's easier to talk with him.

The perfect time never comes along. You just have to jump in with both feet, even if you only jump into the shallow end of the pool. It doesn't have to be a brilliant conversation full of sparkling wit. Saying even a little something to her *will* make it easier to talk with her again. And don't worry about "common bus courtesy" - there's only one person who's opinion you care about, right?
