Unbelievably similar...
I absolutely salute you. (Not the first story)

The second one is so similar (fucking uncanny actually) to what I went through a year or so back that it almost could have been me writing your post. Reading it, I was picturing in my minds eye what I went through. I don’t think about her much any more, until I just read your post.

I actually plucked up the courage to start a conversation one day. I saw my opportunity and took it. Ironically when a train broke down.

From there over the next few months, we learnt each others names and a bit about what each other did, where we lived, bits and pieces about each others families. Asked her out for lunch a few times, she was always busy… Bad luck on my behalf? Or was she letting me down gently? Probably. From our chats I understand she was still a little shaken up about a long term relationship she’d not long come out of…

I now drive to work as I got another job very shortly afterwards.

No further details forthcoming sorry. Keeping this one to myself but I know what you went through brother…

Regarding the train etiquette though and the accusations of being a stalker (which I went over a million times to myself in my head as I thought I’d come across as a weirdo), I still had to do something about it, cause I would have regretted never seeing if there was anything there between us. I don’t regret it. I tell myself at least I had a go and no harm was done…
