Lovestruck Canadian searches Irish Woman of his dreams!

Welsh Megaman

Having a particular penchant for Irish women myself, this story caught my eye on the Independent website:-

http://www.independent.ie/national-news/lovestruck-canadian-puts-life-on-hold-to-search-for-irish-woman-he-met-for-just-two-minutes-3234097.html

A LOVESTRUCK Canadian man has put his life on hold to look for a woman he met for just two minutes last summer.
Dentist Sandy Crocker (28), from the Pacific coast province of British Columbia, flew more than 8,000 miles to track down the Irish woman.
He is determined to find her and is criss-crossing Ireland searching for a woman in her mid to late- 20s with freckles and reddish brown hair.
His unusual odyssey began last summer when the avid surfer and rugby player popped into An Teach Bia cafe in Ennistymon, Co Clare, on his way to visit the Cliffs of Moher.
After the chance encounter on July 9, he realised that the woman had captured his heart.
"She was eating and I didn't want to interrupt her meal so I waited until she was leaving and I asked her for directions to the Cliffs of Moher," he said.
"I was leaving Ireland a day later so, at first, I didn't see the point in pursuing things -- but after she left I decided I had to.
"Maybe it's a shot in dark but if it is meant to be, if it's fate, then who knows what might happen?"
He is prepared for the worst if she turns out to be married or otherwise involved, or simply not interested, he added.
He will be travelling around Clare for the next few days before heading to Cork. If he hasn't found his mystery woman by then, he plans to return to Co Clare before going to Belfast.
In the meantime, he is hoping the woman will learn of his search and contact him via dating site www.pof.com under the username Travel-bug-4u.


Guy was on 'The John Murray Show' just now...his description of her was slightly toe-curling, but best of luck to him!

Is she a boardsie?

Stalker goes public.

Mr E

Those automatic search links from the Independent are more toe curling to be honest.

Good luck to him.

Canada, ey? They say I'm slow, eyyyyy?

BigFatGiant

They are just as bad as Americans.

Hardonraging

Sure it's romantic when it's a Canadian guy doing it ... but when i go philandering it's creepy !!!!

Idk, double standard independent.ie

What the **** is this magic love spell that Irish Women can cast over foreign men.

Well that narrows it down a bit :pac:

What if she's taken?

He WILL find her and he WILL kill her!

That will be very, very funny.

The next big search for her will be led by the Guards. This sounds way too weird for me to not immediately think the guy is a bit nuts.

Idk, double standard independent.ie

Avid surfer + rugby player + dentist (lots of income) means he's almost immune from being creepy. Probably a fairly charismatic lad too so that will go in his favour

If he was an avid computer games player with part time job in a PC repair shop with fecking stargazing as a hobby or something he couldn't look at a beour twice without the guards being called

Quick, someone call Cecelia Ahern & Meg Ryan, there's a book & movie in this story !

He will call Liam Neeson.

Canadians are still Americans at the end of the day no matter how much they try to deny it.

Girl who's photo I took - m4w - 38 (Cliffs of Moher)

I took a photo of you in front of the cliff. I wish I talked to you a little more. Email me if you see this.

I hope she doesn't have a bunny

up for anything

He's sick in the head! :rolleyes:

Headline should read -

"Guy in lucrative footloose profession goes off on indulgent media friendly jolly"

Although as the description does sound like my wife I'd be happy to fulfill his dream, send a Stamped Addressed Envelope to PO Box 69......

Idle Passerby

The poor lad is obviously simple. You'd think his friends would have talked some sense into him when he said he was setting off to find the woman of his dreams ie. some randomer he said two words to in a shop last year.

What if she was also a tourist and not Irish at all?

Because he spoke to her when he asked for directions

How is he sick in the head, that doesnt make any sense!?

I think its very romantic actually, she obviously made an impression on him and if he has the money to come back to Ireland so soon after going home then why not?

She's probably emigrated to British Columbia and lives two doors away from him. She's probably also got a wicked sense of humour and is keeping her mouth shut.

It's just Larry Murphy having a bit of a buzz with the media and public yeah?

Why didn't he ever go on The Late Late, he seems like a right character altogether.

This guy is an idiot, he doesnt even know if the girls sandwich making skills are up to scratch.

Rookie move.

If he only asked her for directions, why would she even remember meeting him?

Bit of a different response to the Brazilian (I think?) chick who did more or less the same a while back. Your inconsistency disappoints me, AH.

What happens if he finds her and she turns out to be a horrible person? Does he have to marry her anyway?

Would a Canadian be able to tell the difference between an Irish accent and say a Scottish one with any great confidence?

If anyone meets this weirdo on his travels around Ireland, please tell him that he just missed her - she emigrated to Canada a while back.
