  • Have you seen her? Man's search for Australian girl 'he fell in love with' at a Bali waterfall goes viral

     

     

    Do you believe in love at first sight?

    If you met someone that you really fall in love with, what do you do to find or meet them?



     

    A love-struck young man is infatuated with a woman he met only for a short time in Bali Indonesia. He is using social media to track her down.

    Arseniy Frolov met the 'beautiful' Australian woman he says could be the 'love of his life.’ It was while he was visiting Aling-Aling Waterfall on the Indonesian island on February 2. 

    The 23-year-old, from Russia, went to his Facebook page to write a heartfelt plea for information on the unknown woman. And he has implored his social media friends to help him find her.

    'If you see this post let me know. I fell in love.

     

    'If your friend was there yesterday tell her that I am looking for her,' he wrote.

    Even though he fell head over heels for the lady, Mr Frolov says he didn't get her cell phone number or even her name.

    But he did know she was holidaying on the island for a short period of time.

     

     'I don't have her number and her name because I was in the waterfall with my friends and I didn't bring my phone to the waterfall,' he said.

    Mr Frolov, who has been in love twice before, explained why the meeting was so short.

    'The water level in the river began to rise and we had to leave and I lost her.

    'I know only her country and that she is in Bali for a few weeks,' he added.

    Mr Frolov, who now lives in Bali, described the woman as 'very beautiful' with dark hair and said she isn't very tall.

     

    'She wears cute glasses and has a cute smile,' he added.

    He said that he was overwhelmed by the sudden rush of feelings. And he said: 'I do not know the reason for my feelings but I was slightly knocked down by this sensation.'

    'Is she the love of my life? .. I think so. But if I don't try to ask her, I will not know,' he added.

    However, if the mysterious woman is already in a relationship Mr Frolov promised to leave her alone.

    'If she sees this and she is married... write to me, so that I will not look for her for the rest of my life,' he said.

     

    In another post Mr Frolov said he was overwhelmed by all the support he had received from social media users. 

    'I thought about how to find her and posted in different Australian Facebook groups in Bali.

    'And...I got more than 100 reposts, more than 1000 comments and a lot of likes!

    'I did not expect to receive so much support. Thank you! it's cool,' he wrote.

    Sadly, Mr Frolov is yet to find the unidentified woman.
