to submit a question (or say anything!) click the glittery "advice column" at the top!
 

okay so basically i know this guy right and i like him so much i cant im gonna cry he is literally perfect but the problem is i met him during the summer while i was travelling and we didn't exchange numbers or socials so i literally have no idea where he is right now, and no way of texting him. 

  

and that is so scary and i even tried looking for his socials and sh*t but i can't FIND IT. ok so he is greek and his name is manos/manolis he is tall, brunette, plays football, and like a late teenager. i have no idea what to do !! i can't just move on yk?? - wide eyed girl

- girl you are literally living in a movie!!! like literally this sounds straight out of "before sunrise" or "serendipity" (which i haven't seen yet but is totally on my list). in case you haven't seen it, in "before sunrise," two strangers meet on a train and decide to spend a day together and get so close so fast, talking about anything and everything. they never exchange numbers or anything, they just agree to meet in the same exact spot in six months. now, i won't tell you about the rest of the movies, but i def recommend. anyway, back to your situation!

now this is just food for thought: is this guy so perfect, or did you just hang out with him for 48 hours? i think it's easy for us to build an idealized version of someone with the few good things we know. have you seen that thing that says a crush is just a lack of information LOL!! or maybe he is the most perfect man ever. i think we all have that one person we met on vacation or went on one date with and think "omg that was my soulmate." but i think that's what's so attractive about it: you're never going to see them again, and how freeing is that? on vacation, you're both the best version of yourself. you have little to no worries, you look great, and you're putting your best foot forward (for the most part). they will forever have that perfect version of you in their mind, and vice versa.

i think that the reality is, if you can't find him on anything, it might be a bit tough to get in touch! if you want to still give it a try, your best bet at finding him would be posting one of those tiktoks where people are like "internet please help me find this boy i met", cross your fingers, and hope it goes viral! aside from that, i totally get it: that guy sounds AMAZING. think, what exactly did you like so much about him? chances are, someone you know in real life (or will definitely meet) will have all of those and more! you don't need to forget about him and move on, but keep him (and the things you liked about him) in mind when you meet new people instead. 

p.s. when i was in this exact same scenario with my camp crush a couple of years ago, i listened to "summer love" by one direction on repeat. i totallyyyyy recommend girl <333
