    Default Still in Love

    About 5 years ago I fell in love with this amazing human being. So much so this person became a main character (as an angel!) in a comic I draw online and has been integrated into the storyline so far they can never be removed. I never got a chance to be with the person I fell for. It's not that it didn't work out, it's that it never began. I got married and divorced and realized about a week ago I still had some sort of feelings for this person. Everytime I work on my comicbook I find myself reminiscing about how lovely and amazing this person was.

    Now I'm back living where I used to live when I was in love with them.

    I found online they still live in my area but I need to pay to get their number and address. I was thinking of calling them? Just 'passing' by their house to see them seems a little stalkerish.

    Does anybody know a good place to get a free phone number and address of a person I'm looking for?

    I want to see how close they are to me. In the hopes that maybe someday I really will run into them.

    I sound obsessive. Woops. :/

    And men, would it seem creepy to get a call from a girl you knew in highschool asking to see you again?

    Maybe my divorce is making me desperate.

    If he has a listed number, you can try the online white pages for residential phone numbers for free:

    Just put in his last name, city, state and see if it has a record for him w/ number.
    It doesn't matter if you're somebody in this world, it rather matters you mean the whole world to somebody.

    It didn't work. Apparantly there's 5 of them in Los Angeles and none in HB. Which is not what I had originally found.

    Wait I found 2 addresses. I'm going to go to both of them and see if I recognize them. I went to their house once.

    No, it's not creepy unless there was some strange situation back then or something.... I'd be flattered.

    It all depends on what is up in the person's life.... I fell hard for someone once, and I'll spare you the details, but we didn't see each other for years, suddenly she showed up and wanted to be back with me... when I was 2 years into a new relationship... wow it did not feel good to reject her, but I loved my gf

    ^ Good for you, dlabtot.

    I hope it works out for you, but keep in mind people change. I'm not the same person I was in high school. And I know some people who have changed drastically from when I first knew them, due to drug addiction/ tragedy/ wealth, etc......It's really painful to see changes for the worse, but keep in mind, you can't impose your fantasy on someone else.....the whole "walk a mile in his shoes" thing.

    Its only creepy if you where a guy and this was some chick.

    Truth is, I agree with dlabot, I'd be flattered if someone from high school remembered my name. I mean of course it can still get creepy, but you knew this person well enough it seems to justify finding him and saying hi. It should make quite the positive impression. Let us know.

    Good luck!

    Depends on the relationship you had with him as school. If you were on friendly terms - fine. If you barely knew each other - maybe it's best to let the past be.

    We barely knew eachother really. They might not even remember me at all. We passed in classes and took some together. Ate lunch together about once a week. That kind of thing.

    In my case, it might not be creepy as much as scary. As in, "You bastard! You walked the check at our Senior Prom and now you owe me $72.84!"

    Give it a go. You won't know the possibilities unless you do.

    I know a guy that now is about maybe 30 years old and just recently started a relationship with a girl he had the hots for in high school and hadn't seen for years from what I understand. They now live together. I say go for it. You never know unless you try!

    I would let it be if that is the case. Let good memories live on but no need to try and re-live them again. People always change with time.

    Lilith, I won't be creeped out at all if you give me a call. Ok, wishful thinking aside, I wouldn't be creeped out if I were him. I would be flattered.

    What you may want to think about is that he may not be the same person you knew back in high school. Sometimes fantasies are better left alone, because they aren't always as wonderful as we THINK they are.

    Good luck.

    I wouldn't mind....although my wife might. Is your big D making you desperate? Perhaps...but it might just be making you emotional. I suspect most of us have that "one that got away" that we will always wonder about. It's not a bad thing...and inspiration for your writings is always good. But seriously...find him...look him up...if he's involved, then nevermind. But does it hurt to try? Of course not. Give it a shot. If nothing else, perhaps a renewed friendship.

    I don't see anything wrong with this. I wish women would look me up.

    I think feeling like this is normal, or at least unavoidable. I still have feelings for a woman I never dated in high school (though we were good friends), and I graduated 6 years ago.

    I just remembered I tried to track down a friend of mine (her parents divorced and she had to move, then the girl who knew where she was up & left too) but I was unsuccessful.

    You should try or related sites. I signed up for that one but put it on the back burner. I won't go to my reunion, but there are a few people I'd love to see again.

    Good luck.

    People call it stalking, it's just selective walking.

    Bottom line - if you're hot (and you seem to be), he's going to want to hear from you. But it sounds like you have over-idealised him now to the point that disappointment is probably inevitable.


    So where's this online comic?

    The online comic went offline after my seperation with my husband about 6 months ago. I'm planning on putting it back up though.

    I went to one of the two addresses yesterday and it was a nice house not an apartment. So I sat in front for about half an hour contemplating going to the door and asking. I think I'll just end up writing both addresses a letter asking them. ;-;

    Much better idea of contacting someone. The ol "I was just walking by line" might now work lol jk. Maybe youll get a good response or none at all. I would adivse to stay neutral and if he answers back yay!
    I contacted an ex-bf a few months ago (we were in love at 16 aww Im a sap) and continued to run into each other and family. So, I emailed him after I found his adress from the university he went to had a big list of names on the website and weve been talking ever since.

    Have you tried www.classmates.com? I would wait a few weeks to make sure it's not a rebound situation and that it's really worth it.

    Alright I'm going to write both addresses. Here's an idea of what I was going to say:

    "Dear _____ Family,

    I went to highschool with a person named ______ _____ about 5 years ago. He should be about 20-21 right now. Recently I moved back to California after being away for a few years and thought I'd try to find some old friends. I looked around and could only find two addresses in Huntington Beach with their name and I thought maybe you were it. If you could please write be back or call me at ______, I would really appreciate it. Even if it is to tell me you're not the address so I can stop looking further into it. Thank you.

    -M"
