GC General Chat
Hier kun je praten over van alles en nog wat. Eigenlijk alles wat niet in een van de andere rubrieken thuishoort.
Hi everybody,
I hope English is OK, I really don't speak any Dutch
I promise to learn! Or try to 
I am asking you for help. I am looking for a Dutch guy (tall, blonde, blue eyes - I know, that really doesn't narrow the search), who was in Ljubljana, Slovenia, this Saturday (3 September 2016). He is 27 and was there with a group of friends. We met in town center in the middle of the night, spent a few hours there and then had to go our separate ways. He and his friends had a plane to catch in the morning. I got his number, but my phone lost it. I wrote down the name, but it is not correct, because it was complicated and we agreed that I call him Ted The surname was something similar to Grevens (?). I don't know his hometown, only that he works in logistics.
I think they stayed at Hotel Emonec but am not sure. When I found out that I don't have the number I tried to search for him online but no luck. Now this is my last resort, since I have no connections at Interpol (just kidding, I promise). If anyone knows of him or of his friends, please let them know. Ljubljana is a small town and there couldn't have been too many young Dutch people here on this particular weekend.
I hope whoever reads this, can pick their memory for a second whether they by any chance know of someone who went to Slovenia recently.
I will be forever grateful for your effort! You can reach me here or at slovenian.girl100@gmail.com.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Take it easy. Maybe he will show you up.quote:Op woensdag 7 september 2016 14:11 schreef SlovenianGirl het volgende:

Kinda out of options, so why not. If it works somehow, great, if not, can't say I didn't try. Since I don't speak Dutch, forum had to be random, yes.quote:Op woensdag 7 september 2016 14:17 schreef Fatoeman het volgende:

You are trying to find a person on a random forum?
But...you know when he was there, you know the hotel he was staying at, so how about you go to that hotel, and explain the situation. If they show you the names of the people that had a room there then you might recognize his name?quote:

How many hotels are there, as you said in a small town, with almost same pronunciation?quote:

No, didn't speak to them, unfortunately. I was so sure that I saved the number that I didn't think about searching for any other way of contact for the rest of the time :/quote:

No but wait a minute. Did you actually go to the hotel and got a list of names? Because you said you tried...what did you try exactly? How far did you get?quote:

If you have a (Android) smartphone... isnt the number synced to contacts.google.com ? Or in the bin somewhere there?quote:

After online search? I spoke to the hotel, got two names, nothing turned up. Also, privacy issues, that was as far as I could get. I almost decided to let it go, then someone suggested this forum. And then I will let it goquote:

Are you sure that your phone didn't save his number? Maybe it's saved on your SIM, Google Contacts or maybe iPhone cloud?
It was never actually saved, probablyquote:Op woensdag 7 september 2016 14:46 schreef Loveless85 het volgende:

Well if you really want to find him you need to give a little more information best case scenario we find him worst case scenario we dont find him. Sure they might joke in their close circle of friends a bit about "that slovanian girl that asked on a forum to come in contact with you" and then after a week everybody has forgotton alreadyquote:

Who's talking about true love, I just met the guy!

Still, can't put those two guys' names here, it wouldn't be fair to them. I thinkquote:Op woensdag 7 september 2016 15:03 schreef Baas_bas het volgende:

then i doubt you will find them because the chances that that group browses this forum and sees this thread here today are very slimquote:

As I said, I just met him on Saturday and thought he was interesting and since he gave me his number without me asking for it, I don't want him to think that I didn't want to contact him.
So interesting enough to find by a 0,0001% chance but not interesting enough to really find?quote:

If you're up for your Dutch radio debut, you might want to consider contacting Timur & Ramon (two Dutch DJ's). I believe they took on a similar case a while ago, of a Danish (?) girl looking for a Dutch guy she had met.quote:

They work at one of the larger Dutch radio stations, so their audience far exceeds the number of people who will read your posts here at FOK!.

I do want to find him. And it was not my intention to occupy you nice people with investigations, sorry about that, I was just hoping for a miraculous coincidence.
Did you try to post it on Facebook?

yes i understand how you feel and how it can be awkward but you either really want to find him or not because this way the chance is way too slimquote:

Make a false accusation against an unknown person matching his description and the police might find him for you 
This is quite a big forum so you really do stand a chance to be honest. The only thing is that this forum (GC) is crowded by <15 y/o Dutch guys who have never touched or spoken to a girl and are tripping balls when they see their sister pass by naked. No not kidding.quote:

So if you are on the lookout for a 27 y/o guy it might take some time before the word of mouth has trickled through. You could also install Tinder with a location lock on Utrecht, age around 27 and with a radius of 150km. Maybe he will show up sooner or later.
I have no idea what the name is, really, apart from what I wrote. The names from the hotel weren't similar and then the receptionist wasn't willing to cooperate anymorequote:
