Wellington man Reese McKee now looks to have a chance to set up a date with an American girl that he tracked down through Facebook.
According to a UK website, it has found 20-year-old Katie Capp, who said that she's waiting to hear from McKee, 25, Stuff.co.nz reported.
The couple had met in Hong Kong last New Year's Eve. McKee was admiring the lights and Capp was crying after losing contact with her pals.
The duo spent the night together drinking, dancing and chatting before she finally reconnected with her friends about 6am.
Before leaving, Capp told McKee that she resided in "DC" and posed for a picture, before slipping away after saying "Find me."
McKee started a Facebook search at this month and she was tracked down but the level of interest was so high that she had to delete her social media accounts.
McKee has said that he is planning to get in touch with Capp once the level of public interest goes down.
