Blogger turns to social media to track down mystery stranger she had a moment with

We’ve all had those moments. You lock eyes with a random stranger, then the moment’s gone leaving you with a lingering feeling of ‘what if?’

One woman who had exactly that last month is turning to the Internet to help track down the ‘tall, dark, handsome stranger’ who she had a moment with on a late-night train journey.

As reported by the Daily Mail, Michelle Winter, 27 from Sunderland was boarding a train when she bumped into a man in a pink shirt and now she’s hoping social media might help reunite the pair.

The blogger explained in a poster that the pair exchanged ‘a few cheeky smiles’ before their moment was interrupted by some other passengers. And as Michelle left the train shortly afterwards, she was unable to take the connection further.

Now, she’s hoping a series of flyers at St Pancras station in London, where they both boarded the train, and a specially created Facebook page might help locate him and send her plea viral.

“Attention everyone! I’m looking for a missed connection I recently met in St. Pancras and I’d like your help trying to reconnect with him,” her pledge reads.

“Call me a hopeless romantic, but I thought there was something rather sweet about hoping to see the man in the pink shirt again,” she continued.

“I’m now turning to the help of the public for help. After all, we’re only supposed to be six steps away from each other with the “six degrees of separation” theory so who knows?”

Michelle says her mystery man as wearing pink shirt, brown trousers and brown shoes and described him as being aged between 25 and 35, wearing a wooden bracelet and with a silver and gold ring on each hand. The pair were on the same London to Bedford train at around midnight on February 5.

“You looked very handsome – just my type,” her post continues.

“Our eyes met several times and I loved your beautiful smile. I felt a connection between us and I wish I’d said hello to you. I regret not giving you my phone number because you seemed like a true gentleman. I’m the petite young lady with long dark hair, which was in a ponytail when we met.”

The fashion and beauty blogger got off the train at Luton Airport Parkway Station with her ‘large, pink suitcase’ and believes the man of her dreams may live in the Bedfordshire area.

“I got off and unfortunately, I don’t know which station the mystery man travelled to,” she said.

It’s not the first time someone has turned to social media in the hope of finding a missed connection. In 2015 a man made a social media plea after he fell for a stranger with a rose tattoo at an ice cream parlour. Ryan Hennessy turned to the Internet to find a mystery woman he’d met and within hours users had put the pair in touch. They went on a date and were last known to be planning another.
