Yes, but you can tell about a person you know without identifying him,
and after all, aren't there here some anonymous persons?
I've a close friend who told me about two of his love stories
Unfortunately, both are sad, at least the ending was so.
I could describe this friend as a secret lover.
The first story took place when he was 21 years old student at university,
He met on the net a very sweet girl living nearby (from Al-biar/Algiers)
Her face was attractive, but what attract him more is her kindness and cheerfulness,
This girl was special: cultivated, polite, smart and joyful, just talking to her brought happiness to him.
she was (according to him) a scarse jemstone (even her surnamed was Topaz, which is a kind of jems)
After several discussions, he noticed that he shared a lot with her, definetely, she was exactely his kind of girlfriend.
When he talked to her, he felt she was near, her way of talking make him beleive she loved him too.
However, the problem was that he was a little bit shy, shy enough to hide his love, (or maybe he just delayed to tell what he felt about her). Yet, her lover didn't noticed his love.
My friend asked help to his best cousin, which was a very spontaneous and open person.
After several chats with this girl ,
this cousin discovered an irony of life,:
This girl was falling in love with a man from France she met on the net only, she tried a lot to make him notice her love, but this man didn't show care or wasn't interested at all.
Thus, she asked advice from the cousin of my friend too
