Interesting way to look for the girl you lost on the street

I was surfing the net yet again and found an interesting story of a boy who goes in search of a girl which he lost sight of at the subway station.

Patrick Moberg was travelling in a subway where he saw the girl of his dream. He hesitated for awhile before picking up his courage to approach Camille Hayton. By then, she has already alighted the subway and out of sight. This triggered his determination to find her by setting up a website with detailed re-enactment of the situation and even a sketch of the girl.

He sought the help of fellow New Yorkers to spread the message on his behalf. His effort paid off as a friend of Camile identified the girl and eventually, they met up and has gone on to become friends and had a short relationship together.

I pondered upon a similar situation locally by a guy named Neil Xu. He also setup a website in pursuit of the girl which he lost sight on a bus.

I think this is a very novel idea here. Neil received encouraging messages on route, but also had to put up with numerous hate mails which described him as ‘unattractive’, ‘stalker’ and ‘gutless’. However, I think he is courageous and innovative enough (although he took the idea from Patrick) to look for her. I totally understand how it feels when he lost sight of that special someone and eventually had to be content with “What if, what if”. 

New media has indeed taken on various new roles in the ever-changing times, and this is one great idea which people have leveraged on in recent times. I wish Neil all the best in his search for that special girl (:
