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.
It was Sunday night, and romantic Patrick Moberg spotted her on the subway, instantly falling for the 22-year-old from Melbourne.
His extraordinary search to find the mysterious brunette he saw, then lost, on the subway in a crush of commuters led him to set up the http://www.nygirlofmydreams.com website in a bid to locate her.

On Thursday night, Ms Hayton and Mr Moberg, 21, met for the first time.
Twelve hours later, they were still getting to know each other after being mobbed by desperate American media outlets keen to tell their tale.
So far, they've discovered they were both born in March, are creative and like drawing, and their favourite colour is blue.
Mr Moberg, a web designer, said that when he met Ms Hayton, it seemed "like we knew each other".
He added: "It felt very comfortable; neither of us was very nervous.
"I mean, it was a little quirky at first, but we hit it off right away.
"This is the first Australian girl I've ever met.
"She has a lot of really interesting things to talk about."
Ms Hayton said her subway Romeo "seemed really lovely and not insane - not a stalker, or anything like that.
"Patrick seems relatively like an Aussie boy compared to American boys.
"I'd have to say American boys are really different. Patrick doesn't seem like that.
"A lot of American boys are really full on.
"They're like in the movies ... whereas Patrick just seems more laid-back and nice."
Ms Hayton plans to stay in New York for a while.
"I'm going to be here, see what happens. I'll stay for as long as," she said.
Mr Moberg said he believed his search for the New York girl of his dreams had stolen hearts around the world because people "really feel how genuine it is".
"It just gives them hope. For anybody who has seen someone on the subway and didn't know if it would work out, it's possible you can find someone in such a big city."
Of the future, Mr Moberg said: "We'll probably wait for the cameras to turn off, get to know each other better and see what happens.
"We don't know each other that well yet, so we don't know if there's any real sort of love connection.
"But just having been able to find someone is remarkable."
The unlikely hunt in a city of millions captivated New Yorkers and attracted worldwide attention.
"Only in America - I just don't think it would happen anywhere else," Ms Hayton said.
The young Australian said last week had begun as "traumatic and really awful" when her home, an 11-bedroom loft in the SoHo district, burned down on Halloween.
But by week's end, Ms Hayton's spirits had completely turned around after she was caught up in the whirlwind romantic pursuit.
"It was a bad week. I was really upset and spoke to my mum, then this happened," she said.
"I was catching the No 5 train down to Battery Park, where I was staying for a couple of nights.
"If my house hadn't burned down, I wouldn't have gone there because I don't like catching the subway."
Mr Moberg, who had been on his commute home, said: "I was just drawn to her uncontrollably.
"I had to find her."
