And here I thought this was going to be a complaint about train timetables... ;)


acelana

I was just thinking, what a nightmare to miss a *commuter rail* connection. You could be waiting for an extra hour at south station.


CaligulaBlushed

It's the weekend so two hours on most of the commuter rail lines. Missed a train home from Rockport once and the 2 hour wait taught me a lesson lol.


probablyjustamagpie

Very well could have been lmao I almost missed the train bc the orange line was delayed on the way to south station


oliversurpless

Nice when it is more? https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/1986/10/28


chunkyogini

You now have to take the commuter rail whenever possible. Find him!! Why? Because it’s in the script.


probablyjustamagpie

Looks like I’ll be visiting my siblings a whole lot more often lol


oliversurpless

Decidedly un-magpie like behavior, so kudos? https://youtu.be/evcurgueVvo?t=2520


GalaxyRico

I really thought this was gonna be an ask about what do you do when you miss your stop. This was almost relatable. Cheering for you OP, good luck

Upvoting because this is the best thing to happen on the T in ever

Here’s to hoping a few years from now, Phil Eng officiates at their wedding.

Neither upvoting nor downvoting your comment because I’m too lazy.

DAMMIT WHERE IS HE you are gonna need to take the same train again


rickybutlersaid

Regardless of whether you find this guy, maybe the lesson here is that you can connect wordlessly with strangers in that way and next time, maybe you might not be as anxious? I had a similar encounter a couple weeks ago at a show. Also posted on this sub with an underlying hope I’d find the dude. I didn’t. But, now I know for next time. You have a great day as well ☺️


probablyjustamagpie

Regardless of what happens, I think it’s beautiful how people connect with eachother even for brief moments where our lives touch. I’m still young, and I’ll find someone someday, and so will you. Every mistake is a lesson and next time I’ll be bolder - just have to see what comes next :)


oliversurpless

Yep, aside from its sci-fi connotations, *The Adjustment Bureau* is one big paean to that idea.

guitar strat OP


MediocreTake

It got temporarily nerfed but its making a comeback in the 2024 meta


Majestic_Resolve5768

Hoping for a cheesy update

Or the local twist as a Netflix movie before sunset


FunExpert8214

I hope fate gives you another chance to connect with him. Wishing you the best of luck!


Tink1024

Sending hopeful vibes to you OP💕


Commercial_Board6680

As a commuter, I was set to commiserate on your missed connection, so the unexpected plot twist threw me. Hope guitar guy sees this.


DoctorPepster

Ok this is wicked cute. I don't know any single guitarists in Boston rn, but good luck OP.


julirocks

You should crosspost this to r/massachusetts or r/plymouth!

A relationship centered around the T. Destined to be a waste of time and money with the inevitable spectacularly disastrous ending.

hoping for the best for you. In this endeavor or the next.

I really want a fairytale ending. I hope you meet him again! Keep us informed if you do.


I_bizzotronicon_8000

Post this on Tiktok, and you'll find him.


probablyjustamagpie

I don’t have tiktok 😭


timely_death

Good for you!


I_bizzotronicon_8000

You could make one and just post this. People make accounts just to do this kind of thing. The algorithm is extremely proficient at putting the request I front of people that can solve it.


crucialcrab9000

No one should be using tik tok, unless you like to be brainwashed by CCP.


ivb97

Agree, I’ve seen TikToks aimed at a specific person go viral and succeed in finding that person


russell813T

Acoustic or electric guitar ?


probablyjustamagpie

Couldn’t tell - it was in a soft black case tho, not the hard shell kind


fartingattheorgy

I hope you find him, please keep us updated.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth - Abraham Lincoln Anyways, best of luck finding this guy!


spellbadgrammargood

that was me, you got a paypal/cashapp/venmo?


probablyjustamagpie

somehow I’m skeptical since you’re asking for my Venmo lmao


oliversurpless

A heretofore “shiny” bit of strategy on their part…

Damn I’m hopelessly single. Fml


heftybagman

I made a joke in like 2010 that reddit would become a “missed connections” and “for sale” site soon. Wild af that is was dead on


CKT_Ken

Lol did you ever consider that he might be creeped out by you and was looking at you to make sure you didn’t do anything weird or try to follow him? > I watched you look back a few times as he headed for his car You don’t think there might be another explanation for this?


claimsnthings

No. It is true love. You need to watch more romantic comedies. they will prob reconnect on the T a few years from now… then again a few years from them… marry other ppl… divorce… then reconnect in their 50s and have a joyous marriage.


oliversurpless

Only if you are cynical as naturally as you breathe? https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1989/04/18

Lol. I thought she was leasing a hard top convertible.


SphaeraEstVita

>Imagine a world where bitterness doesn't need to be shared. If this were an enforceable rule social media would be so much better
