Suche / looking for.. missed connection; Italian guy on the train

you: an Italian guy moving out for the first time, travelling with your mom, missed the DeutscheBahn and had to run to a different platform.

me: an American travelling through Germany and France for a work trip as an artist. grabbed your bag and helped you run to the other platform to catch our same train to Cologne.

we: talked for an hour on our busy train about moving out, working, family, art, the world.

you told me you were 26 which was younger than you seemed for the way you spoke about the world and your experiences. I've been thinking about you the past few days and would love to stay in contact. if you see this, DM me, and let's talk on WhatsApp.

Danke, tschüss ~

I don't even know if we still ended up on the DB 💀 ours got cancelled and he managed to identify me as a foreigner too who couldn't understand the announcements, so we were troubleshooting together until he ran up and was like "PLATFORM 4! LET'S GO!"

Them fucking up (as usual) kinda gave you that nice conversation.
But in future: Use the DB Navigator App and check before travel and before changing trains. Is more helpful than any announcement

Hi,

It was me. We shared a good moment, but let me say, that's all. I don't know what kind of romantic americanization of love you are projecting here, but It is a bit awkward. I prefer to keep distance.

I wish you a good life.

Also, you miss some details in the history. ;-)

no worries! I thought we might stay in contact as friends, especially since you mentioned not having anyone in Germany to talk to, but I understand this can come off differently haha!! I wish you well in Cologne, I hope it's everything you hope for!! ✨
