www.nygirlofmydreams.com is one man’s romantic quest to find the girl of his dreams in New York, aided by his quixotic drawing of the dream girl he saw on the subway.
Patrick Moberg, a 21-year old Brooklyn-based Web designer, saw a pretty young woman on a crowded subway train Sunday, but lost track of her as they got off the subway, so he created the website nygirlofmydreams.com to publicize his quest for his dream girl.
Amazingly, it worked! Within hours, his cell phone was ringing non-stop and his email box was buried by an avalanche of leads, tips, and romance proposals from other women.
Tuesday night, a friend of the mystery woman contacted him and emailed a picture so he could confirm her identity.
“We’ve been put in touch with one another and we’ll see what happens.”
The mysterious NY subway girl of his dreams was named on Thursday as Camille Hayton, who’s in New York from Melbourne, Australia and working as an intern at magazine BlackBook.
“This is crazy. I can’t believe it’s happening,” Hayton, 22, told the New York Post.
Patrick Moberg said he is now asking for a little privacy in his love life, removing all contact info from the NY Girl Of My Dreams website and leaving a message on his phone saying he will do no more media 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.”
And that’s the love story behind nygirlofmydreams.com

Includes a great casual video of Patrick describing what he was thinking when he saw Camille on the subway, how they made eye contact before a swarm of people carried her away, and what inspired him to create the website.
