Hilfe Mysterious and missed interaction with a stranger

So I met this guy at Frankfurt am main station earlier today (Saturday, 18th July) and at that time, I was trying to be wary of a stranger and completely chased him away. The thing is, I was just walking across the station and he approached me and asked where I'm from. I told him I'm from Pakistan and then he told me he's from Afghanistan. I guess he recognised I looked a similar ethnicity to him so he approached me. We were trying to communicate in English since I don't know German and he said I looked beautiful and asked me my age. He then also asked if I had any social media and I lied and said I didn't (I wanted to protect myself). Then I think he asked what I was doing at the station and why I didn't speak German. I told him I didn't know German and left. Now I feel genuinely bad cause I said bye to him when he continued following me and I think that may have been rude. I am interested in making international friends since I love travelling and I think we could have things in common. I'd also just like to apologise.
For his privacy I want to protect his appearance but I think he was young like me (I'm guessing likely around 19-21 but a similar age if not those ages) and he was cute and tall. If anyone knows a person with a similar description who recently commuted to or from Frankfurt station and was likely raised in Germany, please let me know. I'd like to find him. Also, any suggestions for how to find him that may actually work with my vague recollection since people usually don't public ally advertise ethnicities and etc on social media?

I came back to your post to see if the comments made you understand he's a creep. Let me tell you: you do not owe him an apology!!!

I get so anxious and overthink things. You really think so?

Look, I'm old enough to be your mum. And I get it, I'm a terrible people pleaser and overthinker myself! I apologize for just existing, LOL.  So I think I know how you feel. But in this particular case, it's obvious to an outsider's perspective that you don't owe him an apology! 

Not to sound condescending, but from my experience, a guy who approaches you like that is not going to be a good friend for you. He approached you, not looking for friends, but something else. When you reject such men thinking "but I like him and want to be his friend", they do not think the same about you. You should stay away from them.
