The sweetest thing

OMG LAH.



SWEET!

About 3 months ago, a boy met the girl of his dreams in a subway in New York. Before he had the chance to talk to her, the doors slid open and the incoming crowd separated them- but not forever.

Patrick, a web designer, promptly set up a website imploring New York to find the dream girl for him at www.NYGirlOfMyDreams.com He drew a detailed picture of her with what kind of clothes she was wearing, how she wore her hair and what she was doing. (He talked about how he felt here.)

Just 2 days, cranks and misses later, and Patrick received an email from the girl's friend. (More of her pictures here.)

So they met.

The media picked it up and they even did an interview for Good Morning America, ABC News. (Which you can watch here.)

It turned out that the girl, "AUSTRALIAN Camille Hayton says she usually avoids the New York subway, but after her home burned down she was forced on to Manhattan's No 5 train so she could spend the night on a friend's couch." (news.com.au)

So how will it end? Well, there's no more updates to the site as it states that this is to their "best interests"!

So sweet. If it warrants a nation-wide search for you, he must really be crazy over you. I think the newest place to meet singles is in PUBLIC TRANSPORT.

I had a guy who asked me for my number on the bus once. That's tacky, scary or maybe bordering on stalkerish- depending on how the girl interprets it. The thing is, setting up a website could never be sweeter, and more unobtrusive. It's like he's too shy to intrude upon her personal space and privacy and yet passionate enough to declare it to the world wide web of strangers based a single glance.

It's the modern fairytale. Wonder if it'll work out?? It's lucky enough that he did find her in a crowded city of more than 8 million people. So maybe...
