Love Story

xoxoxoBruce · 01-29-2006, 12:03 PM

Canadian resident Marc Lachance met that special someone on a bus to Havana while vacationing in Cuba.

"We liked each other and spent the day together. But I was too shy to ask her address or telephone number," Lachance told the Belgian publication De Morgen. He got her first name, Sabine, she speaks French, she was travelling with a friend named Klara and that she is from Belgium.

Arriving home in Canada, Lachance realized that Sabine might be "the one". How to track down someone, when you have a first name, the country they live in and the name of a friend, Klara?

"Finally, I looked up in the phonebook the addresses of all women named Sabine," Lachance said. "There are 3,700 of them. I was shocked it's such a popular name."

He has written to all the women named Sabine in the Brussels phone book. Namur is next then the rest of Belgium.

"It is costing me a lot of money," Lachance admitted. "And what if her name is not in the phonebook - I dare not think of that."
Nor think that she might be married, have a phone in another's name, be "GOOD" friends with Klara or lied about the country.

Fool for love, comes to mind.

Clever man, that Lachance. He can come off as a hopelessly romantic, fool for love, while disregarding every single Canadian gal within the reach of his arms. Can we spell "commitment phobe"?

You know it's always possible she was a Cuban shadow posing as a tourist keeping tabs on the foreign tourists. I remember hearing something about that happening in the USSR.

This guy is brilliant. Even if he doesn't find the woman that enthralled him you can be damn sure more women know of his existence now. What's that they say about no such thing as bad publicity?

You, madam, are a wet blanket. You want him to commit to someone that doesn't blow his skirt up? What is he, stud and support service that rightfully belongs to the Cunuk women's home team? You, should be committed. :p
