It took me a minute to realise why he cried at the station. I was like "awwww" that kiss was cute... Then realised that he knew he wasn't going to hear from him again. He gave his number to him rather than the other way around... I don't care, being gay is not easy, it's not a choice we make to be different, why would we choose to put ourselves through that. It is hard to meet guys that want to settle, be monogamous, have something real, but I think it stems from having so much rejection in our lives that we just don't want to get hurt. So we have our fill and then leave. This bit of film is so good. So heart warming. I wish everyone love, health and joy! stay safe x

This brings up memories of the day I met the love of my life ... I am a Belgian from Brussels. Back in 1966 I decided to visit London ... It was the era of "Swinging London, Carnaby street, Kings road" ... I had barely arrived in London, that this guy catched my eye as I got of the train in Victoria. We exchanged broad smiles and started chatting and smoking cigarettes ... I don't know how long we talked, but it seemed ages ... He was 22 and I was 29 at the time ... he took me to his local Pub in West Hampstead, I think it was the "William IV" ... then he took me to his home. ... To cut a long story short. I lived with him for a while in London, then we moved to Brussels ... we have lived happily together for over 44 years until he died suddenly in 2010. ... But this is to show that true love between 2 men is not an impossibility !

I think I'm addicted to stories about people falling in love with each other, no matter their gender or sexual orientation. Love is beautiful, period.

Back in 1974 I was secretly in love with my college roommate, one beautiful fall day we went hiking in the woods and ran down a huge field and tackled each other and rolled in the grass. We ended up on top of each other and froze for a few seconds and stared into each others eyes. I know now we both wanted to kiss but we never did, I was too afraid to let him know how I felt. This film reminded me of that day. He came on to me many times and I was just to blind to realize it, until years later. Oh how I loved regrets.

That kiss was like a classic "bye" kiss to the stranger we just met and who we will never see again.

Jaime crying at the end was basically a realization that Ben wasn’t into him enough to pursue something more. Jaime may not know the reason, but my guess is that Ben knew right away that they were in different stages in life. Ben has experience and is out to everyone while Jaime is just beginning his journey. Kudos to Ben for not taking advantage of Jaime’s inexperience. Jaime will be fine. Maybe he will find someone else who is also at the beginning of the journey and they both can discover many beautiful experiences together.

As he cried at the station I totally felt that. It's all very real.

It‘s easy to fall in love with a person in virtual space. You‘re chatting hours for hours, day by day. You feel understood, imagine a smile on the other one‘s face every time you need it. You fall in love with this perfect person. And then you‘ll meet in reality and all the magic can be over. You will miss the chat-person you started to love. But it‘s gone. That hurts. I had to go through this a couple of times. But the last one became my boyfriend 13 years ago. He still is. ♥️

Put that thing away and talk to the guest is every dad ever

The acting was so earthly and real. So was the story. Guess that's what's best about the British theatre. It's core edge is always its fixation on being the truest to life.

[lucasleroux]

Being gay is lonely, and the harsh truth is that we should never show our emotions to others in the first meetings
He finally find a guy he would love to know more but he sensed that he would never see him again so he cried
It is just so hard to find that someone you like and at the same time he seems interested too

[moesauce]

The tension he felt while waiting for Ben. The way their voices were trembling, top notch acting. We've all experienced that one way or another. When he cried, I think what made him cry is the fear of never finding love, getting rejected again, feeling unwanted and "peculiar".

[blueh]

Loved it.
I hated to see him cry. He just feels so alone and without support. Hit me hard.

[ys]

To me the tears signify relief - I'm not alone, I am attractive, I am lovable, I'm no longer the outsider in a marginalised community, I'm connecting with a real person in 3D and not just online... so many thoughts and fears, washed away with one supportive interaction. Beautiful.

When I first watched this video couple of months ago, I didn't understand the scene at the station. Rewatching it after experiencing something similar made me cry so hard the second time. Of course this is only my interpretation, but I was chatting with this guy I met online for a couple weeks and started to developed a crush on him. When we finally met for a first date, I felt like I was talking way too much. At the end, I knew I would love to see him again and develop something more. I kissed him but I knew he wasn't interested in seeing me again. He didn't say it but I can just feel it after the kiss ended. I cried when I got home. We never saw each other again.

[jackdang]

i could deeply understand why he cried. That's " see u around" hit so hard

[riccardo]

This young guy is so vulnerable and I really relate. I'm so much older and have not found a mate. At his age and lack of experience, he's really scared and I was touched by his vulneability.

Went through this over 40 years ago . Thrown together, the friendship starts, the friendship gets close . You both pass boot camp and get posted together to the same base sharing the same room . The friendship gets closer. Lots of hints, lots of glances, fun wrestling in tightie whiteys, hints become undeniable. Suddenly it goes cold, still talking and hanging together in a group but it’s gone cold. Finally posted to different bases ! Say good by on the day., Me, “All right, I’m going man, see ya “ . Him in a sad voice “ Awwww no man “. Shake hands and never see or hear from him again . It was devastating ! I was 19, now I’m 61 . Still think of him every so often.

[JameelAlayyan]

Absolutely heartwarming piece of cinema. It’s so hard for gay people to feel loved in this world and this piece of art really shows what waiting and waiting for someone that’s unafraid to meet up really feels like.
