Still waiting
Thursday, June 11, 2009
I keep receiving emails asking me why I haven’t updated my blog in over a month. People ask if I have given up my search? Have I gone and got a girlfriend, or a job?
The answer is no. It was always possible that my search could be a long one. It was never likely that my soulmate would contact me straight away. For the past 6 weeks I have met four different girls that emailed me. Each girl was charming, but unfortunately not her.
I’ll try to update my blog more often, but unless something genuinely exciting happens I don’t really see much point. Just remember that I won’t give up. I’m going to find her. I promise.
Oh, and my debt stands at just under £5,000.
A quick note

I’ve been following old leads around the country for the past few weeks with very little luck. My total bank balance (including credit card debt) is now at -£4,332. Wonderful.
Also, if you think you know the girl and and she lives in Mexico then please hold off emailing me for a couple of weeks. Thanks.

I waited for two hours for the girl and she didn’t turn up. Want to know why? Here’s an email from ‘Caroline’:

So, yeah. The girl I went to meet turned out to be a couple of guys from England winding me up.
I’m broke.

In a bit of a rush as I have to catch my ferry in about 50 minutes, but I’m going to meet a girl who emailed me from Amsterdam. Again, fingers crossed.
Spain
Thursday, March 19, 2009
It’s 2:20AM and I returned home about an hour ago after possibly the worst week of my life. Last Thursday I received a promising email from a girl in Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. Impulsively, I booked a ticket on a ‘minicruise‘ to Bilbao, which is about thirty minutes away from Vitoria-Gasteiz. Don’t let the word ‘minicruise‘ fool you; it wasn’t glamorous. This was the cheapest way to get to Spain, costing just £68. After two long, uncomfortable, seasick, cabaret-filled nights, I arrived in Bilbao and I got a taxi to Vitoria-Gasteiz to meet the girl. It wasn’t her. After an awkward coffee, I got my taxi back to the port. However, the ferry wasn’t there. It turns out I had forgotten to set my watch to Spanish time and I had managed to miss my return journey by about 40 minutes.
My improvised journey back to England has been an unusual one. No, actually, scrap that; a painfully horrible one. I’m going to bed.

Okay, so things didn’t go quite to plan in America. I’m now back home on the Isle of Wight. Unfortunately, I have returned alone and about £3,500 down. I don’t even have a tan. In the short time that I’ve been searching, I’ve already learnt not to get my hopes up about finding her this early. My search epitomises the phrase ‘needle in a haystack’ and I won’t give up.

My search has taken me to Chicago, Illinois where it is so, so cold. Apologies for the short blog entry, but I’m going to bed. 32 hours on a train has almost killed me.

I’m about to get my coach to Texas. I’ll be there in about 60 hours. Fun.

I have arrived safely in America. I feel a bit like Macaulay Culkin in Home Alone 2; except Macaulay Culkin managed to fend off the criminals in New York and I almost certainly won’t.
