Is this girl disinterested?

[Kuro]

I'm still not great at approaching women, but I decided to use asking about the bus schedule as an excuse. After all, I had seen her on the bus a few times and I wanted to find out when the first bus showed up. However, she just kept giving me the time for the second.

I decided to walk off and got my answer from someone else. When I got on, however, I realized this was the same time that she rode the bus. It didn't feel like she disliked me when I talked to her, but now I'm wondering if she didn't want to ride the bus with me, which would explain why she wasn't giving me the time I wanted.

So is this enough reason to next her or is it worth my time to try talking to her again?

Kuro,

If you were simply using the time for the bus as a reason to start conversation, then after you got any sort of answer from her, you should have changed topics and kept talking to her. I'm confused why or how you would keep asking for the time for a different bus after she had already answered your question?

I doubt anyone would intentionally give wrong information just to avoid taking the bus with you, unless you're coming off as a serial killer. Try being a bit more direct in your opening. Situational openings are great if you're a little nervous. If you're waiting for the bus and it's raining, you could simply look over at her and say "Times like this I wish I had a car." Then you can gauge her reaction and proceed from there. When you ask a question such as yours, you've displayed zero interest in her, and if that's the only thing you said to her then there's no way of knowing how she feels about you.
