When Missed Connections Aren't Special Enough For Your Mystery Dream Girl

Posted by Nicole Pasulka

Patrick Moberg was riding the train Sunday night, minding his business when this girl stepped out of his dreams and onto the 5 train. Instead of asking her if it hurt when she fell down from heaven, he committed every detail of her wardrobe to memory and drew her for the Internet. We can't decide if this is a Missed Connection gone cute, or creepy. We put it to you, arbiters of taste and propriety out there on the Internets, to decide. If you were Moberg's dream girl would you call him, or start taking the 2 train from now on?

I may be a weirdo (may be?) but I'd be so all over someone who did this to/for me I wouldn't mind doing all the work because he's obviously such a chicken.

y'know, i can't really judge this person on just this one factor.  it could be either completely adorable or incredibly creepy, depends on the person.  if i was the girl, i think i would have noticed a guy longingly eyeing me, and know whether i should return the call by the vibe he emitted.
