Last Friday (nov 29) I got the offer from my dream company so I went to lkf with my 2 other female friends. We went to solas after midnight and met this man at a table in the corner. it was too noisy so I did not catch his name and it was too dark to see his face clearly. But when we talked a bit, seemed he shared a lot of common interests in life with me! We like history, we love pets, we enjoy country life. I did not notice that we spoke more than 1 hour in such loud environment. Then I went to the restroom. When I came back I sat next to my friends speaking a bit. But a while later I found he was gone! I even did not ask his name! The only few things I know is he s British, went to law school in Cambridge university, just been in hk for one month, work in Bank of America, before was in their London office. Has a younger brother and his mum is 54 years old.
He is such a charming guy when he talks and I keep feeling sad in the past week. The happiness of my dream offer is gone totally when I knew he left. I think he also enjoyed our conversation. But really don't know why he did not ask for my contact. Maybe he did not get used to hk lkf culture, and myself is so used to waiting for men approaching me.
Anyway, just want to find him and see him again.

En...if I felt that it was a clear msg that he did not want to see me again at that time, I will definitely not bother to write something here. I don't think he is married or had some other concerns.
Maybe I don't go to lkf enough. At least it was my first time meeting someone interesting there. I just feel it was a pity. Maybe he thought I was not interested because I did not come back to where I were before went to restroom but sat a bit far talking with my friends for quite some time.
Well maybe you are right that he did not want to keep the contact. But I just wanted to find him and know it myself.
Ps: it s really hard and takes a lot of courage for me to share this here. I won't expect someone knows him will see it here. But at least I gave tried and won't regret later.

Thanks. I want to find him but apparently it is impossible...
Please support our advertisers:
definitely you sent him the wrong message when you left and not returned immediately. next time, return immediately, talk, wait until he asks for your contact number and if he doesn't ask, then you ask.
Please support our advertisers:
Thanks. My friends said the same thing. But come on, if I was not interested, how could I stayed with him talking for more than one and half hours! He should have known that I was interested from my reaction to his talk. He is very smart. Maybe not the best looking but definitely smart and charming.
Now I just want to find him. Not at all interested in finding next one. I think he told me where he lives. But without knowing his full name, it is so defficult to check it out. I can not just wait in front of his building. Any smart way ?
Thanks again for your reply.

Malka, thanks for your advice. I am quite a passive person in relationship. one or twice in my life that i want to take the initiatives. this time is one of them. I just feel so lost and it rarely happened to me before. I could spend some time in front of his building, but i am not even sure that i can recognize his face! And the residence he is living has quite a lot of residents!
I never have high expectations on LKF. that day was purely to celebrate my new job with friends. So that's why I also feel that was something extraordinary. i had quite some conversations with people there but never of this kind.
I need some courage to do so or smart ideas. But do thank you for the advices :)

Gee Whiz, that has always been my philosophy in the past 28 years. but until recently, i realize if you want something, then you should make it happen, but not wait things happen, though my nature is still the latter. Maybe i should change the Subject as "advice needed for looking for a man" lol.
thank you.

oh sure by all means tackle life head on and don't sit on the side lines waiting BUT
the trick is to know when you can and should expend your energy
no point getting all worked up over a situation that is frankly beyond your control. There is nothing you can do now, the time to do anything was when you had him there, not now when he is no longer present
wasted energy is just as bad as wasted time
move on and que sera, sera

Malka,
difficult to find him back where i have "lost" him. as we met in a club Solas! i know it sounds really stupid that i have this crush on someone i met in a club! i could not believe myself neither.
i have asked one friend who also works in Bank of America to lay his eyes on someone new, from London, round face, beard. but it is like looking for a needle in a haystack:(
i went to Solas last Friday. as expected, got no luck.
maybe lingering around his residence is a better idea, lol. Or even post some Looking for Person ad on the street (just kidding)
Please support our advertisers:
Gee Whiz,
this month will be a relaxing month for me as i will begin a new job from next year. so i kind of have some spare time to be "wasted".
maybe you are that man, who is actually married, lol? (just kidding)
Please support our advertisers:
WOW............you met him in Solas ?????
well, hang in there girl, this could well be a sign
are you aware of the the 5 solae ??? or as some call it the 5 solas ???
sola fide, sola gratia, sola scriptura, solus christo, and soli deo gloria ???
these are the 5 solae that form the fundamental belief of protestant reformers that are thought to be essential to a good christian life.
Translated, by faith alone, by grace alone, by scripture alone, by christ alone, and by the glory of god alone
this could well be a sign to have faith and you will meet the man of your dreams, so hang in there girl..............don't give up just yet
PS. I know, I know, what utter crap, but hey, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story, I say

hi Gee Whiz,
I have not known about 5 solae. Thanks for sharing. good to have new knowledge
I just had a breakthrough in my searching. I think I just found his friend, who was also there that night on Linkedin. (weird enough, i remember his friend's name and recognize his face. hopefully i did not mistake). Just sent him an email 30 mins ago. Finger crossed for his reply.
you know, i do believe to some extent, the signs :)
Thank you again Gee Whiz.
Please support our advertisers:
yes, knowledge is a wonderful thing and a little knowledge is absolutely dangerous and exciting
a little faith never hurt anyone, so hang in there and all will turn out well
let me know if you find your man and I'll even edit my PS :)

thanks Malka to share with me this lovely poem!
I am still waiting for his friend's reply on linkedin. no news yet.
Please support our advertisers:
hi Gee Whiz,
how I wish your kindest wish will come true shortly!
but no reply from his friend yet. it has been 2 days. not sure the communication is cut on which link. his friend or him, cause i have left my mobile number in my email to his friend. neither reply of linkedin nor via mobile...
Please support our advertisers:
perharps you're not sufficiently attractive to even interest his friend?
Please support our advertisers:
Well, to be honest, I don't say I am the prettiest for everybody but I am definitely not bad and i think i am funny. I don't think that's the reason. Anyway thanks for reply :)

If you chase a man or woman, he/she will usually run!
You make yourself: so odd and weird. Listen: this is not funny.......
Please support our advertisers:
i am not chasing him. I am looking for him. He even does not know I am looking for him! I will feel much better if i found him but he made it clear that he has no interests in me. Then for me it is a closure.

Precisely speaking: you are "tracing" and "stalking" him.

Please support our advertisers:
Hi webbman75, can not believe you are still following:)
No I did not. His friend did not reply my msg in LinkedIn. So I guess that it is:(
