6 Ways To Help You Find Your Missed Connection

Have you ever shared a moment with another person, felt a spark and a connection, only to miss the opportunity to share contact details?

Maybe circumstances at the time prevented you from being together? Perhaps you have experienced true love at first sight but were too shy to act on it at the time?

There’s one of two things you could do in that situation: you can accept that the moment is lost forever and move on, or you can attempt to reconnect with your lost love in the hope that they felt the same for you in that fleeting moment.

# Write down every minute detail

When you have limited information about your lost love, every tiny little detail counts. So, if you decide to pursue a search, it’s a good idea to make a note of every bit of information available before you forget. The exact time that they caught your gaze, the location, perhaps you managed to catch their first name, items of clothing that they were wearing, maybe they were eating a BLT sandwich at the time… it’s all vital information that may come in handy!

# Enlist the help of your friends and family

The key to finding your missed connection is spreading the word. Start with your immediate friends and family. Inform them of your search, and even if they think you are crazy, they are likely to be supportive enough to help you out through retweets, statuses on Facebook, or perhaps if the person lives in your neighborhood, they might even recognize your description!

# Return to the meeting place

Perhaps you saw the man or woman of your dreams at a coffee shop or supermarket? It is possible that they may visit the location regularly. Try returning at a similar time of day, perhaps you might meet them again and muster up the courage to ask for their contact information.

You might also want to try and put up posters containing your vital information in the general vicinity of the fateful location. If they return there at any other time, they might spot your poster and give you a call.

# Google what you know

This might be a shot in the dark, but sometimes Google and other search engines can return relatively successful results with very little information. It is possible that if your prospective soul mate is pretty active on the internet, you could well find them using just a first name and a location. It is worth a try!

# Search the social networks

In this day and age, most people are active on at least one major social network. If you are convinced that the person lives in your area, try trawling through mutual friends and the “People You May Know” lists on Facebook or search their first name, if you know it. Perhaps you have an idea of their profession? Why not try a search on LinkedIn?

# Use a location based dating app

Even if you aren’t usually active on apps such as Tinder, they could prove to be a very useful tool for your search. Set your location parameters to include the area you encountered your illusive love and get swiping. What’s more, if you manage to find them on one of these apps, the chances are that they are single!
