York flirting
Yes, we really can help you pull, even you (SMS dating)
Love is in the Air (working title)
You know the sound. Beep Beep. Beep Beep.
No, it’s not your alarm going off, it’s the chirp of your mobile telling you you’ve got a message. Oo, you think. Who will it be? Your heart’s fluttering slightly in case it’s the tall one from the weekend who seemed quite keen. Your thumb hovers over the OK button. The excitement’s building. Maybe they’re suggesting a drink! Maybe they’ve realised that they’re actually in love with you!
If you remember this feeling but the only texts you’ve been getting recently have been your mum asking you if you’ve changed your underwear, then we think you’re gonna love this.
With a database chock full of lads and lasses, instead of sitting at home picking your bum and wishing you were popular, you could be beep beeping away to your hearts content making brand new friends. And the joy is, they’re local. Which means that, if your texts press the right buttons with someone special, you don’t have to leap onto a train/plane/automobile and travel halfway across the world to meet them. They’ll be a mere hop-skip-and jump away (not actually advisable, incidentally, if you wish to remain cool).
So, I hear your excited little voice, how do I do such a magical thing?
Simple: text the word ‘itchy’ to 81188 and follow the instructions. Then sit back and wait for those happy little messages to start landing in your Nokia. Your initial texts cost just 20p and you pay 60p for any reply messages… except if you’re a girl, because girls get them free. Sounds iffy? It’s because 40% of the people in the databases are girls and we want to even it up a little. And girls, if we’re going to start charging you we’ll text you first to let you know.
And yes, we will come to your weddings/blessings/pagan hand bindings. But only if you buy us the hat.
