Reminds me of the song " You're Beautiful" by James Blunt

CANBERRA (Reuters) - A modern-day love story of a man spotting the girl of his dreams across a New York subway train and tracking her down over the Internet has failed to have a fairytale ending with the relationship over.
For Web designer Patrick Moberg, then 21, from Brooklyn, it was love at first sight when he spotted a woman on a Manhattan train last November. But he lost her in the crowd so he set up a website with a sketch to find her -- www.nygirlofmydreams.com.
Unbelievably in a city of 8 million people, it only took Moberg 48 hours to track down the woman, with his phone ringing non-stop and email box overflowing as usually cynical New Yorkers took sympathy on the subway Romeo and joined his hunt.
The mysterious brunette was named as Camille Hayton, from Melbourne, Australia, who was working as an intern at the magazine BlackBook and also lived in Brooklyn. One of her friends spotted the sketched picture on the Web site and recognized her.
But after finding each other, appearing on TV and getting international press, the couple took their romance out of the public eye, with Moberg closing down the Web site and with both refusing to making any more comments -- until now.
Hayton told Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph that she dated Moberg for about two months but it just didn't work out.
"I say we dated for a while but now we're just friends," Hayton, now 23, told the newspaper. "It's really nice that people embraced the story. It is part of my life now."
Hayton said she is still recognized about three times a week on the streets of Manhattan as "that girl"' and the question is always the same: "So what happened?"
"I think the situation was so intense that it bonded us," she said, adding it "bonded us in a way that you could mistake, I guess, for being more romantic than it was. I don't know. But I wanted to give it a go so I didn't wonder what if, what if?"
Hayton told The Sunday Telegraph that she is enjoying single life in New York, keeping busy with acting classes, working in two vintage clothing stores and as a waitress.
Last week she had a small role as a waitress in the long-running daytime soap "As The World Turns" and last year she was an extra in a "blink and you'd miss it" scene in the hit movie "Sex And The City."
"I just can't believe it happened. It feels like a long time ago," said Hayton.
Moberg, however, was still refusing to comment on the relationship.
"We've decided not to do any more press," he wrote in an e-mail to Reuters.

Why am I not suprised this used the attention to roll this into some kind of ty acting career
So an over blown meeting between two people who didn't work out.
How is that any different than any other relationship that happens in fails in life?
I hate the media.
Why did you have to bring up my Kryptonite?
If she makes it big in Hollywood I hope she give him something as a token of her appreciation.
After two months, she better have given it up.
Not surprising, the guy sounds like a grade-A tool. Just look at his drawing of himself.
And his handwriting screams of NPD.
Well the story didn't end with pieces of her found in his laundry basket, so they turned out better than I would have predicted from the sound of how their romance started.
I'm sure he'll find a creative outlet for his break up anguish at ihateyousubway .com
, she probably gave him herpes.
Dude seems nuts.
Yeah I mean who the makes a website on a girl he just glanced at on the subway?
That's a little harsh, don't you think? Jared seems like a nice enough guy...
It had warm n fuzzy potential for me until i got to the part about her being an actress/actress wannabe. Now i smell PR move.
Also did he talk to her on the subway or was this all over him just seeing her?
If just from seeing her, how deep.
Angel, this is it. If you have not seen Zoolander yet i am coming down to Texas and making you watch it. (actress/model theme is what brings this up).
That's my home town.
As for the story, "love" at first sight is a myth. Lust, OTOH...

I have watched parts of it.
I try to watch the show every time it is on but can't make myself sit through more than five minutes at at time.
I'm like the Apple guy!
