After a few drinks I head to the train station, it’s around 23:00 and therefore it’s totally empty. Sitting at platform 5, I’m getting pissed off as my train gets delayed. I hear someone walk onto the platform, it’s a gorgeous, young girl, probably early to mid 20s. She sits down behind me, facing platform 6. After a minute or two she says under her breath, “ugh, you’re all the same” in an annoyed tone. Slightly drunk I turn and say, “hmm?”
She turns to face me, and I see she’s scrolling through tinder, “Oh, nothing. Well, it’s just all these guys are so boring! Always the same messages. I want something exciting, something spontaneous, adventurous! Is that too much to ask for?” she replies.
“Online dating is a nightmare!” I say to her. “I know right. I hate it.” She agrees as she gets up from her seat, and quickly sits next to me. “Do you have an account?” She asks, holding eye contact for a while. “No, to be honest I prefer things a bit more natural. Exactly how you put it, spontaneous.” I reply.
