From romantic lark to worldwide media attention in just over 48 hours . . . yeah, right<\/a>:<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

“She started writing in her journal, and I was intrigued,” Moberg told The Post yesterday.<\/p>\n

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

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.<\/p>\n

But he lost her in the rush of the crowd as everyone stepped off the train.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

. . .<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“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.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
