Blast from the past

This is going to sound a bit stalkerish, but bear with me!
6 years ago I was in college, painfully shy at the time (bit overweight, crooked teeth, the usual).
There was this guy I fancied, who I've always wondered "What if...". Only thing is, now that I'm older, more confident, I'm highly unlikely ever to meet him again! We've no mutual friends, he wouldn't be the facebook type, I don't know if he's even living in the country.
I'd just like to randomly bump into him, say hello, if it didn't progress beyond that, fair enough, curiosity quelled, that'd be that.
Question is, how would you even go about tracking someone down so as to randomly cross paths? (just the once! so I don't die wondering)

Sorry OP but as you stated! If it's meant to be it will be.

I really think facebook/google would be your best bet. Unless you wanna hire a private detective or something :p

No it's not stalkerish, so long as you don't follow him about once you track him down.

If you can't find him on google / facebook then hunt for his siblings / parents friends.

also try the phone book http://www.eircomphonebook.ie

Are you in touch with anyone else from college, they might know.

Or be really devious, contact any college mates you can and say you're organizing a reunion.

Ask them to track down everyone else, if you get his details you're gonna have to contact him to ask if he's interested in going to a reunion.

As for the reunion, if it actually goes ahead it only needs to be a pub meetup, so nothing to organize really.

Cheap Thrills!

This IS stalkerish!

You're planning to orchestrate a chance meeting, after researching this guy by whatever means!?

OP, that's not healthy. It's been 6 years. He's some aquaintance from college. Forget about him and concentrate on the present.

If he's that wonderful, there's a good chance he's settled down with a girlfriend or perhaps even married by now? I dunno OP - it sounds like something from a romantic comedy or a Mills & Boon novel rather than real life. I just hope you're not holding a candle to this guy whilst letting opportunities closer to home pass you by

Sorry, I should have expanded a bit. I haven't been putting my life on hold mooning after this guy, actually have barely given him a second thought in the last few years (too busy dating other people!), it's just he came up in conversation with a pal lately, I'm currently single, & so just thought "Mmm, I wonder?". I'm well aware he's probably spoken for- the best ones usually are!!
It's more of a curiosity thing I suppose, just nosy to see what he's like now. Some hot guys we knew from back in the day have changed loads- become more conservative, the odd beer gut, wild boys now married with kids, ect ect. So it'd be interesting to see how he turned out.
