THE search is on.

A mystery man has captured the world’s attention in a bid to win the heart of a mystery girl he met on a bus.

The man, who created a profile on Facebook called “Bus Guy”, posted a message on the Byron Bay Community Board in the desperate hope of reconnecting with a “quirky girl” wearing a “black dress and pink boots” he met on board a Brisbane bus at about 8.45pm on New Year’s Eve.

“Bus Guy” said their chance meeting involved speaking “so effortlessly about all kinds of random nonsense” that ever since, “I can’t stop thinking about you”.

“You told me that you were from Byron Bay, that your mother is a doctor, you’re up here in Brisbane (where you have a sister) studying arts and science and that you’re thinking about getting into forensic science-y med stuff,” he wrote.

“When we stood up to get off the bus, we accidentally touched hands and you jokingly made a cute ‘Oh my!’ type gesture.

“Your company made the bus ride feel impossibly fast. After getting off, we shook hands and stared into each other’s eyes for a moment before parting ways.”

Bus Guy said he was too “choked up” to ask her for her details.

“Never have I been more annoyed at myself,” he wrote.

“I didn’t get your number. I didn’t even get your name. The regret is eating me alive as I know that I may never see you a second time. You were just so damn fun and adorable. I’ve never been so curious about and so enthralled by anyone in my life.”

The mystery woman was described as having fair skin, dark hair, and was probably no older than 23.

“You were slim and a little taller than me at 6ft. Yes, you were taller than me. I don’t care,” Bus Guy wrote.

At the time of publishing, the post had been shared almost 500 times, with commentators backing the mystery man.

He assured those following the thread he’ll provide an update if good news follows.

Fingers crossed.
