Also think of some friends you had in common and try to see if you still have any contact details to any of them. They might know something.

Private detective Julian Tanase says:

"Most of the time people that are searching for their long lost friends, relatives or even high school sweethearts are in dire need to have a closure with their past, or to deal with some past experiences that marked them".

So if that is how you feel, I really hope you will locate that special person you are looking for. I know I have been searching for old friends myself many times in my life.
