    I'm supposed to be going on holiday this June with a girl I used to go to university with. I haven't seen her since I left uni in December, but we were keeping in contact by email and she phoned me a couple of times. In about January or February, we decided that this July we would go travelling in Europe together for a few weeks. We booked and paid for our plane tickets and accommodation already. Sometime in February I think she said we should get on the phone the following saturday to arrange train tickets. She never phoned, and I can't find her number. Since then, I've emailed her afew times but got no response. It's been over a month since I heard from her, she hasn't answered any of my emails. I have no idea what's going on. Has she lost computer access? Doesn't she want to go on holiday with me any more? Has she been in an accident and is now in a coma? That might sound crazy but I am seriouslywondering, I don't have any way of getting in touch with her except email. She's paid for her plane and accommodation already and was really keen on this holiday, so surely she wouldn't just changer her mind? What do you think?

    Do you know where she lives?

    Does she have social networking? Google her name and type facebook at the end.

    Any mutual friends you can ask?

    Yeah, I'd second trying a phone/facebook approach. I barely check my email any more to be honest - I talk to people almost entirely via facebook etc.

    I wouldn't be too worried about it at this point. She's probably just gotten busy/distracted by something and isn't feeling that much pressure yet since July is still a good bit off. Plane tickets and accommodation are the important things - I would often arrange the two a while in advance, and then basically not deal with any of the rest of the details until a week or two in advance.

    Don't panic just yet - it may be that she's way more relaxed about it and not as organised as you - I'm the kind of person who has everything planned well in advance, maps, timetables, the works, whereas one of my friends flew to the other side of the world recently and the day before he went wasn't sure where he was changing flights and hadn't a bag packed.
    If the above suggestions don't work, your university will have a number for her - which they may not give out to you - but should at least give her a call for you and pass on your number for her to get in touch.
    All the best, hope it all works out ok :)
