Maybe everybody feels like there is a lost love in their life, the one great crush that got away? Maybe it’s your high school sweetheart, or your first kiss? So what can you do if you are looking for someone whom you once cared about but have now lost touch? It’s time to play detective to find that missing man or woman in your life.
Mutual Friends
Consider asking mutual friends about your lost love. When was the last time they saw them? What area were they last living in? If you are looking for a woman she may have a new married name, which makes them more difficult to find. If this is the case, ask friends if they know her married name.
The Old School
If you were former schoolmates with your lost love, consider contacting that school’s alumni office. Some high schools or colleges may provide information on your lost love if they have kept in touch with their alma mater. Privacy concerns may make any inquiries fall on deaf ears, but don’t lose hope.
Facebook
Facebook is just like a high school and/or family reunion, only better. You can sit and surf for your old friends from the comfort of your pajamas and in your own home. Use Facebook as a way of reaching out to old, mutual friends who may remember or still be in contact with your lost love.
The Internet
There are several places to look for people using search engines on the internet. Try googling your lost love, or look for them on AnyWho.com.
Hire a Private Detective
You might consider hiring a private detective to help you find your lost love. While this can be a pricey alternative, if you really, really want to find this person, a professional detective may be your only choice. Make sure you shop around to find a reputable private detective who is experienced in finding people.
So if there is a lost love in your life, keep looking…you have nothing to lose, right?
