And Before This Starts Some Sort Of Cloying Trend, Let’s Be Clear — Getting Press From The Post Doesn’t Make It Any Less Like Stalking

From romantic lark to worldwide media attention in just over 48 hours . . . yeah, right:

Brooklyn Heights Web designer Patrick Moberg, 21, is on a quest to track down the “girl of his dreams” with whom he locked eyes on a No. 5 train Sunday night — and he’s created an Internet page devoted to finding her.

The pair “shared a moment” while riding the train from Union Square to Bowling Green at about 9:30 p.m., Moberg said.

“She started writing in her journal, and I was intrigued,” Moberg told The Post yesterday.

“There’s been a ton of pretty girls I’ve seen of the train, but I just couldn’t shake this one.”

The self-described shy romantic, who moved to the Big Apple from Nashville, Tenn., this past summer, was working up the courage to speak to the “rosy-cheeked, mysterious brunette,” knowing they would both get off at the next stop, the train’s last.

But he lost her in the rush of the crowd as everyone stepped off the train.

Moberg’s last sighting of his love was her blue stockings and red flower in her hair as she turned a corner in the distance.

. . .

In the past 48 hours, Moberg’s Web site has garnered international attention, striking a chord with anyone who has regretted letting possible love slip away.

“I’ve had so many people wishing me good luck, especially Australians,” he said, after the story was posted on one of the most popular news Web sites Down Under.
