I don't think East Germany was kidnapping and imprisoning foreign tourists for talking to waitresses. Perhaps you'd have had to take another train or something in the worst case that you were still getting questioned while your train was starting to leave. I hope someone can speak from experience on this to verify (I can't, but knowing the political context it would seem pretty absurd). I think you missed out on a potential cutie!
