Sparky Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hello everyone! Another LOOONG while since I posted anything! Back in late 2006, I met a lovely young lady on here with the username of loverstruck234, helping her with a boyfriend issue. After I was helping her with that and other things for a bit, we got talking to each other through private messages on here, and became really good friends. We talked very frequently at first, but became less frequent due to school and other things. If you haven't noticed, she started a thread saying that she was going to be leaving this site for a while due to quitting her job. That was almost 4 years ago. Ever since then, I've been trying to find her and get into contact with her, and to be honest, it's about as easy as finding a needle in a haystack. So the reason I'm starting this thread is to see if anyone else has heard from (or better yet, SEEN her) since then, and help me get into contact with her. I know her full name, but I'm not going to tell everyone what it is, because I don't think that she would appreciate everyone knowing it. I have a few leads: She lives in Tomerong, AustrailiaShe models (or used to)She surfs. In fact, she made it to the nationals to compete in California in 2008She's 21 years old, turning 22 soon I've tried EVERYTHING, from Facebook to a simple Google search only to come up with results I'm almost positive are not pointing me in the right direction. So if anyone knows her personally, professionally, etc. I'd love to get some help on this. I don't want to know her exact address or anything, just an email or a link to a Facebook profile, if she has one or something like that. Oh, and to prove that I'm not just some creepy stalker trying to harass her (or worse), search her username or mine for proof that I know her. Thanks a million if you can!

Art_Critic Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 She posted as late as a year after she left LS.. she did come back in 2007. Chances are if she wanted contact then she would have given you the info.. Sometimes people are only meant to be in our lives for a short time... Link to post Share on other sites

Chances are if she wanted contact then she would have given you the info... But that's the thing: She did! It was her work email, and then before she left, she said once she gets a computer of her own and internet, she'd contact me. She still has my email. Sometimes people are only meant to be in our lives for a short time... I know. I wish this wasn't the case though. *SNIFF* Link to post Share on other sites

Living life sometimes has a way of getting in the way of life.. I read in her last posts that she had a BF.. maybe it was her just moving on and putting LS behind her...

Star Gazer Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 She still has my email. Some people aren't lost; rather, they don't want to be found. She has your email, and isn't using it. That should tell you everything. I know it sucks when people you care about just stop writing. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Sparky Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 I knew she had a boyfriend, and I never made any indication in my posts that I wanted to pursue a relationship with her. I just want to get back in touch with a friend I made. Star Gazer, that's a pretty cynical way of looking at it. I thought that maybe she forgot it or lost it, possibly. Just because she hasn't contacted me, it doesn't mean she wants to forget about me. Link to post Share on other sites
Star Gazer Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 That was almost 4 years ago. Her last activity was April 2008, 2.75 years ago. Have you PM'd her through here? If her email is linked to her LS account, as it most likely is, she'll receive a notification. Link to post Share on other sites

Her profile shows her being active in mid 2008.. so if she lost your email she could have pm'd you Link to post Share on other sites
johan Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 She still has my email. I think it's smart to take note of the fact that she's not using it. Link to post Share on other sites
OceanGirl Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I think that you seem a bit too attached for someone who had casual e-mail friendship 4 years ago. She could have easily logged into LS and PM-ed you if she lost your e-mail (which by the way is highly unlikely). Link to post Share on other sites
Author Sparky Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 You're right, she could have PM'd me if she lost my email. But she hasn't had internet or her own computer. I'm not trying to make excuses for her (okay, maybe I AM:laugh:), I just see the glass as half full instead of half empty in this situation. Link to post Share on other sites
vintagecat Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 But she hasn't had internet or her own computer. While that may be true, she sounds active enough to get around to places where there might be an internet cafe or library that has an open computer for public use or a quick borrow of a friend's or family computer. If she wanted to contact you, especially having your email, she would have by now, sadly for you. While she likely appreciated your past assistance, you were probably just chat buddies during a transitional period and she has moved on to living her life away from the screen.

whichwayisup Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I remember her. Best thing to do is smile and just know that you helped her and hope she's happy in life now. That you were lucky to have known her. Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 OP, there have been a fair amount of women who have gone in and out of my PM box during my stay here on LS. Some are also gone from LS. It's the nature of the internet. Some of those I also had contact IRL, like phone and in person. I was thinking Citizen Erased might have a line on T since they only lived a couple hours apart. You might PM her and ask directly. Your thread here caused me to go back and read some of those old threads and I can say I enjoyed the place LS was back then. Hope things work out. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites
Author Sparky Posted April 16, 2011 Author Share Posted April 16, 2011 Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been responded in ages. Just been busy. Well, I guess the only way for me to hear back from her is if she comes back on this site. Link to post Share on other sites
ericoutler Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Just out of curiosity.... Why would you put so much time, effort and energy into having a relationship with someone, who obviously doesn't feel the same way you do? Link to post Share on other sites

Why would you put so much time, effort and energy into having a relationship with someone, who obviously doesn't feel the same way you do? Why? Because we've talked outside of LoveShack and gotten to know each other really well. I've specifically mentioned this before, I just want to stay in contact with a friend I made.

johan Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I know whenever I make friends with pretty exotic blonde surfer models, I try to stay in touch. Good friends like that are hard to come by. Link to post Share on other sites

Good friends like that are hard to come by. Okay, I've had it! Ever since I've been on this site, all of your posts on my threads have been anything but useful. In fact, it is THE perfect example of trolling. It's not funny and it's really pissing me off! If you're not going to say anything that's going to help me in any way, don't say anything at all. Otherwise, you'll find yourself reported. Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, you'll find yourself reported. I must have struck a nerve. Sorry. I'm sure you're expressing your real intentions here, and I was mistaken. As good a friendship as you had with her, it appears it was one-sided, so maybe you are hanging on to something unreal anyway. Plane tickets to Australia don't cost much if you want to go find out for sure. That's the best advice I can offer, Sparky. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Sparky Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 Alright, that's much better, thank you. You're right, plane tickets to Australia are not exactly cheap these days. But going to Australia just to search an entire continent for a good friend has got to be one of the most extreme and desperate way to find someone, especially with the lack of leads I have. I've always wanted to go to Australia, but I believe the reason has to be much more realistic and my finances be much higher. Link to post Share on other sites
