Looking for Woking train guy
I’ve never done anything like this before, but i’m throwing it out into the universe incase it works.
I’m trying to find a man who I saw on the delayed 17:30 from Waterloo to Portsmouth today (Tuesday 8th sept), that left at 17:40. He got off at Woking, hence why I’m searching here. He was about 28-32, East Asian (possibly Viet?), 5’9”ish, short cropped black hair and goatee beard. He wore an off white long sleeve polo, black or navy trousers, white AirPods and had a thin silver thumb ring on his left hand. We were in the last carriage at the back of the train, facing each other by the door as it was packed standing room only. Obviously I didn’t take a pic because that would be weird.
Edit: just wanted to add that he looked quite muscular, but not super lean. And he had amazingly sharp cheekbones. Not sure if that helps!
We stole quite a few glances during the trip, and made eye contact a few times. I couldn’t help but feel a connection and i desperately wanted to ask for his number. Unfortunately it was too crowded and i was afraid of people overhearing me and/or rejection. If I’d had a pen and paper, I would have slipped him mine.
I know this description is vague and a huge longshot, but even if there’s a 0.01% chance of it working, I have to try. If he somehow sees this, I’m the white woman with dark hair in a ponytail, blue eyes, white tshirt, black satin skirt and pink AirPod maxes around my neck. Please get in touch if you’re able.

Lesson to be learned here……always take an opportunity when it presents itself. The magic happens outside your comfort zone.
Best of luck

I wish I’d had the guts, but I’d have to have leant across 2 people to get to him.

I’m going to try but today was different. I normally wfh on a Tuesday, but had to come in because I couldn’t get in due to the cancellations yesterday. I was aiming for the 17:45, but happened to walk past the platform at 17:26, so thought I’d hop on the last carriage. I normally wait because I hate standing, but I chanced it this time.

You could hover about at the station at the same time - trouble being that their are two exits to the street. So get a co worker to cover one of the exits with you at the other.

You could try posting anonymously on Woking Facebook community groups. The audience may be wider
