Ha ha, i cant believe yyou actually went to amsterdam. you really are a loser. get a life you muppet.

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

I’m broke.

    I check my emails every day. I’m working through new ones now, but generally if a picture is attached it makes it very easy to see if it was the girl in my dream or not. This one just seemed different.

    Maybe you should stick with the e-mailing: when you find someone who somewhat resembles the girl of your dreams, mail them a few questions and ask if you could get more pictures. Though some people might find it a bit creepy.
    Oh, and have considered the possibility that you’re not supposed to find her with such hard work? Maybe she’s just waiting for you to randomly bump into her when you least expect it.

    Anyways, good luck with your search <3

    I have to say Adam I read your blog posts with a mixture of hesitant admiration and liver-puncturing dismay. Obviously you couldn’t be more dedicated to your cause, but sometimes, sadly, ye have to think of the boring reality in which our material selves operate. I hope you don’t take too much motivation from all these comments encouraging you to spend money you don’t have, searching for this person that might not even exist. Even if she does exist; wouldn’t it be worse if she wasn’t interested in you?
    I myself have fallen in love with a few of my dream characters over the years, and some of them I recognised as being amalgams of people seen in waking life; therefore not existing as I saw them in the dreams in real life.
    My reason for writing this is that I worry you will lose valuable years of your life searching for that which may never be found.

    there’s so much more in that universe over there,
    Best,

    hope next time you leave your country, it was not because a couple of idiots.

    Hey buddy, just reading the last few comments on here has brought up many ideas I initially thought myself. However I believe now that whether she’s interested in you or not when you finally do find her, at least you will know which one. So keep going buddy. Don’t stop. My best friend always says to me that everything happens for a reason, and you were meant to go on this search mate. Thinking through your money troubles, I have some of my own at the moment and through various research on the internet have discovered something that may be of advantage to you.

    There are people on the internet that ask for money off of strangers for no good reason and set up a pay pal link on their site. And you know what? People actually give them money. With your coverage and noble cause, I’m sure if you set up a pay pal donation link there’d be many people out there that would be willing to give to your cause.
    Hope this is of some help to you. Happy hunting mate.

    instead of asking for donations why don’t you stick ads on your site, judging by how many hits you getting sure there will be plenty of people willing to do so.

    There are many people on the Internet that are soo stupid… I agree with Jenny. You should try to talk to those that sent you pictures and seem like the girl that you dreamed of. I’m not telling you to spend all your money in this quest. Relax, she isn’t running away and, if you’re ment for her, you’ll be together

    Hi
    I don’t remember if I read your story in a site or in a newspaper (maybe both), but it was months ago.
    I think that it’s ok, you believe that she exists, that you belong together, but at the same time, you’re spending a lot of money and time on that. The money, well, if you have it or if someone is supporting you, ok. But the time you’re “wasting” looking for her…I mean, it’s your life, you don’t need an advice of a stranger, but really, maybe there’s a girl very close that doesn’t look like her, but still, you’re missing the chance of meeting people near you.

    Sorry to hear about that, you should be more careful.
    Do you email the girls back? I know you must have a lot but maybe you should just send a generic ’sorry it’s not you’ message back to them all?
    Good luck x

    You need to be more specific in your details. Like… how tall was she in comparison to you? Her figure? Colour of her eyes, hair colour? Shade of skin, nationality, or maybe what kinda accent she spoke. Maybe more people could help then. x

    Don’t worry, you will find her one day… she just isn’t ready to be found.

    Just wondering, but you never said what colour her hair is, or how old she is, or the colour of her eyes.. do you know?

    Good luck

    I really hope you find her :( i live in Bournemouth, not too far away from you; so the story reached out to me alot more :)

    I’m going to put this on my myspace page :)

    Oh yes, on piece of advice; please dont go traveling all round the world so much.
    There are way too many jokers & pranksters out there… You should be more cautious. :)

    I know what its like to long for something this much.
    I found a book that sums it up quite nicely; its called ‘the ghost child’ i think.
    Its a good book :)

    Best of luck matey.

    in this world of certainties and wealth such a quest is as a modern don quixote’s journey. Money comes and goes, love makes your life a dream.
    I understand you might not want to use your story to make money to lose seriousness.
    but how are you going to know it’s her from just a picture or a 5-minutes coffee? this i don’t understand.
    anyway go ahead show these idiots what life is supposed to be for.

    Oh wow, they are such idiots.

    I believe I have a picture that sort of resembles your loved one. I don’t know where the “website” link you input goes to, but go to the website I put (should be by cliicking my name), and it leads to a picture.

    If you recognize that girl, I know who she is and I can tell you where to contact her.
