I will give you the short version

I am looking for my lost love. I lived in Maine my whole life and met a Mexican girl in New Hampshire. We dated for about one year and her student visa expired and she left. That was about ten months ago and we talked every other day. She tried to renew her visa with no luck. Then her phone was shut off! I have not heard from her since. I made a few trips to Rosarito with no luck. I showed her photo around and no one seemed to know who she was. She was born and raised in Mexicali but moved to Rosarito when she was 14.

I made the decision to temporally move to Rosarito and try to find her.

My place is just a few blocks from the beach and I am paying $550.00 a month. I met some nice people down here and one was a member and said I should make more friends to ease the culture shock.
I've been lurking for the past few weeks and it took me 6 tries to register! That darn confirmation code sucks!

So hello Bloggers and I will be checking in every other day or so.

i tried to reister and the codeing was hard to read,,,lol

do you have a photo of her?

i would recommand posting her photo on local news paper and see if you can get some leads..

new hapshire is so beautiful place...the white mountains and fishing , hikeing, and sking..

enjoy baja mexico while your looking for your true love and good luck.

Have you tried printing up some flyers with her photo and text in Spanish & a phone # or the address of a business that will take messages for you? I wouldn't recommend using your address, no! no! don't do that! Maybe the desk Clerk at the Rosarito Beach Hotel or maybe a smaller hotel, Quinta Del Mar.

[drchoi]

should never use you address for contact..

create a new email address using MSN or yahoo on mexico or espanol site..

if you have cell phone # , that might give you a direct approch..

never offer money since that will cause someone trying to play a trik on your needs..

hope thios helps..

if it's really worth it to you, hire a private investigator, I'm sure they have them in Mexico as well. You be surprise what these people are able to find.
And it won't spook her like everyone all of a sudden looking at her funny since she looks like a poster. Not everyone remembers what on posters, be it good or bad.

[drchoi]

i will seconded that hiring a private investigators is best way to go if you could affored it and have very limited in speeking spanish
and for over all safety..

Welcome Aguaman

What a story, This could be a reality show.
I would be a little cautious with flyers but here are some ideas. What kind of music does she like? Does she like to dance? If so try the local clubs both in Rosarito and Tijuana. Offer the doormen or waiters a couple hundred dollars if they find her. It sounds like you have spent quite a bit of money on this adventure so the quicker you find her the more you will save.
I also agree hiring a PI sounds like the way to go.
Good Luck and keep us posted

its too bad internet can not help too much in this case unless this chica has personal blog...

[vagabundo]

Your story sounds kind of fishy to me. I mean, if she loves you then why wouldn't she try to contact you? Maybe she met someone else?

If you are intent on finding her then I would go to the telephone company Telnor and see if you can persuade or pay someone there to give you the address of the number. You said her phone was shut off so she must have had a land line, no?

[BajaGringo]

Probably a good chance that she was using an Amigo cell phone. The upside is that if she puts more credit on the phone she could be back up which means it would be a good idea to keep trying the number.

The other thing I would suggest is that if she really is in Rosarito take an ad out in "Ecos" (the Rosarito spanish language paper) with her photo. If she is in Rosarito I would bet that you have at least a 50/50 chance that someone who has seen her around reads the ad.

Good luck...

What a damn bunch of romantics we have on this board. Suerte a ti.

[drchoi]

Si !

try calling her cell phone from tj, then you will pay for her airtime.

peace

[Chiquito]

Actually, supposedly, you can now call from the US to MX cell phones that don't have credit using the 011-521-nnn-nnn-nnnn. (Old was 011-52-nnn-nnn-nnnn).

[Scooby]

Wow, you MUST be in love ! I too, like Vagabundo am a little suspicious. I mean did she "love" you as much as you loved her ?
I hope she has a really good reason for not contacting you. Otherwise, there are millions of fish in the sea to choose from, and you are in the right place for the pickings.
Good luck.

[George Costanza]

You guys have no idea what a lot of gringos do when they think they are falling in love. Cars, condos and huge cash advances are just some of the things I have seen first hand only to see the girl was playing the poor saps and taking them for a ride- no pun intended.

I feel bad for this guy if that is the case. I hope we didn't scare him off with our comments. I would like to know if he found her.

[drchoi]

it takes time to find ppl ...give him time and he said he likes her...lets leave it at that ..he did not meet her in TJ like most you guys have...lol

[BajaGringo]

I met my wife in Tijuana years ago and she is a very honest, noble and beautiful woman. I really don't find your attempt at humor at the sake of the women of Tijuana in general very funny at all...

[drchoi]

what did i said that upset you?
