We're deeply, deeply sorry.

The passive-aggressive love story of Vimeo employee Patrick Moberg and his subway crush, Camille Hayton, has drawn to a close.

From the mixed up files of Craigslist comes a Missed Connection from a dude who must be an actor or some sort of bigwig behind-the-scenes person on raggedy teen soap Gossip Girl. The show has been filming in the Hamptons recently and this CL poster was enamored with a bikini-clad blonde nymph, an extra who had "the body of a goddess." And don't worry, blondie, your Romeo is fairly certain you'll figure it out—"if you see this you probably know who I am," he writes, romantically. So are you out there, dreamgirl? Do you know who he is? If not, read more about yourself and your thwarted romance after the jump.
