While most New Yorkers nursed hangovers, nearly 100 romantics posted heartfelt “missed connections” messages on the Web site.
“Mike – you kissed me at a house party on 96th and 3rd on New Years. From the moment I saw you . . . I wanted you,” wrote Anne Huynh, 22.
The actress said she was on the prowl in a hot purple dress at a party on the Upper West Side when she spotted Mike in a neighboring apartment.

They sneaked away for the first kiss of 2008. “I had butterflies in my stomach,” she said.
But she left him shortly after without giving or getting a last name or phone number.
“I just want to see him again, and tell him how much I like him,” she sighed.
At a restaurant in Brooklyn, Robby Hecker, 30, spotted a “beautiful” woman chatting with her parents. It wasn’t long before he was invited over to the table. But shortly after, the girl disappeared without leaving a name or a number.
