I know this is such a long shot but … here we go! I held the door for you as you were leaving Ichiba at Westfield White City. I'm pretty sure you had bought some instant noodles? We had a little moment and I thought I'd try my luck!

Later, we ended up on opposite platforms at Wood Lane station. We made eye contact, smiled, and just before my train pulled away, we both kind of shook our heads—like we knew we fucked up a little.

I was wearing all black and have blonde hair. You had brown hair, blue jeans, and blue eyes.

I’ve attached a, hopefully not too creepy, little photo of what I was wearing in case you do see this—say hi if you remember it too.

  3. I’m glad missed connections are coming back! Nice to read these kinds of stories 🙂

  8. Very long shot, but I like to believe. Upvoted! 🙌

  15. Ahh still remember a similar situation that happened to me years ago. Made eye contact, we both smiled, but then i had to get out as i was with a group of colleagues. Still think about it, as it was the first and only time it happened. Also it was exactly around your station.

    Good luck OP! Hope you find him!

  17. “we both kind of shook our heads”
    I felt that.

    I’m rooting for you 💪

  19. Aw, best of luck! I’m wonton it to happen.

    Best pun I have, sorry.

  22. I wish you oodles of luck in your search of the noodles man, upvoting for visibility

  23. What if he was shaking his head like ‘you really have the wrong idea. I’m getting on a train completely opposite to where I live simply to avoid you’

  24. Well mate. Your only chance of finding him is to hang out at Ichiba day in and out.

  27. Upvoting and commenting for traction, I hope you find him and make beautiful babies or content – whichever makes you both happy ❤️❤️

  28. Wishing you the best of luck and a lifetime of canoodling if you do manage to find noodle man!

  29. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take! I’m for it, good luck!

  30. On one hand if he sees this and you two get together it will be an amazing story to tell the grandkids.

    On the other hand, if he sees this it means he’s a redditor.

  31. This is rather sweet. Also kinda funny that the Internet has come back around to 60s newspaper columns.
