New Yorkers rally to help online romeo By Belinda Goldsmith
Fri Nov 9, 8:21 AM ET



A tale of online love inspired usually cynical New Yorkers this week to help a young man find the girl of his dreams after he spotted her on a crowded subway train.

For Web designer Patrick Moberg, 21, from Brooklyn, it was love at first sight when he locked eyes with a rosy-cheeked woman while riding in Manhattan on Sunday night. She was writing in her journal.

The train was so full that he lost her in the crowd when they both got off, so he set up a Web site dedicated to finding the mystery woman -- www.nygirlofmydreams.com.

He drew a picture of the girl, who was wearing blue shorts, blue tights, and a red flower in her hair, and posted his cell phone number, e-mail address and an appeal for help finding her.

It worked.

Within hours Moberg's Messages was overflowing with e-mails and his phone ringing non-stop. He told the New York Post that he even received e-mails offering him love. "Some people said I'm not the girl but you're so adorable, pick me instead."

Tuesday night a friend of the woman contacted him and sent him a picture so he could confirm her identity. "Found Her! Seriously!" a notice on his Web site said.

"We've been put in touch with one another and we'll see what happens."

The mysterious subway brunette was named Thursday as Camille Hayton, an intern at magazine BlackBook from Melbourne, Australia, who also lives in Brooklyn.

"This is crazy. I can't believe it's happening," Hayton, 22, told the New York Post.

But Moberg said he is now pulling the shutters on his love life, scribbling out the cell phone number on his Web site and leaving a message on his phone saying he will do no more interviews.

"In our best interest, there will be no more updates to this website," he wrote.

"Unlike all the romantic comedies and bad pop songs, you'll have to make up your own ending for this."

Some New Yorkers may already, wondering if Moberg had made it sound too easy to find a needle in a haystack in this city of eight million people.



Wasn't there a movie made based on this premise?

How cute though.

I knew it. When you mentioned NSync, I looked it up.

Lance Bass. "On the Line".

Now where's the nearest train? ;)

:lol: If only. :D


Most of my train traveling (Amtrak) experiences had me getting stuck sitting next to someone that I didn't want to be next to.

One woman ate pig's feet with hot sauce all the way from one destination to another. On another, I got stuck sitting next to a guy who kept chatting and going back and forward to the bar. He was pretty drunk by the time we got to that destination.

My metro train travels were less nutty though.

I recall one time using public transportation (a bus), a guy sat down next to me and was practically a butt cheek on top of me. Closer than I ever wanted to get to a stranger. As he was getting off the bus, he asked me if I wanted to come watch him play in a club that night (he was a musician). I was like, umm....no. :lol:
