Hello. I am currently in my second year of Engineering. I have been studying in a boarding school since 8th standard. Till 7th, there was a girl whom I didn't like much. But, after seeing her after almost 1.5 year, in 9th, I was literally shocked. I got a deep crush for her. But the biggest problem has raised because my family shifted to a city far away from the previous one in my 10th standard. I can't even find her anywhere, not on Instagram or anywhere on social media. Her father might be there in contact list of my dad's phone. But I am very much afraid to inform regarding this to my family. So can you please tell me what should I do ?

Ans: Before taking any step to find her, it’s important to ask yourself what you’re really hoping for. Do you want to reconnect as friends? To tell her you liked her? Or are you mostly wondering what happened to her after all these years? Getting clear about that will help you decide whether to take action or simply keep her as a good memory.
If you truly wish to reconnect, you can try a respectful, indirect route—perhaps by checking through old school friends or alumni groups instead of involving your parents right away. If she’s comfortable being found, you’ll likely get some lead. But if there’s no trace, take it as a gentle sign that it might be time to move forward.
At your age, you have so many new people to meet, and feelings like this often open your heart to deeper connections later. Let this memory remind you of what kind of person or energy attracts you, but don’t let it trap you in longing for someone from your past.
