DAILY MAIL - A woman found an innovative way to make sure her Valentine's Day was a memorable one - by texting 17 random men whose numbers were in her phone after meeting them on nights out.
Blogger Victoria Trocino, 22, who lives in Dublin but is originally from New York, decided to wish some of her old flames a happy Valentine's Day with hilarious results.
One man suggested the student should add him on LinkedIn after making unfavourable comments about his girlfriend's intelligence, while another asked if she had 'yellow hair and big t**s'.
'Like I’m sure a ton of us do, I now have a contact list filled with first names or code names of random guys I’ve met out,' Victoria wrote in a blog post entitled A Valentine's Hey.
'We’ve all been there: we go out, we have fun, we meet someone who is engaging, funny, flirty, and totally drunk.
'We dance and maybe kiss at one point but we both know it’s not going anywhere. So we exchange numbers as a formality and leave with our respective friends, never to speak to that person again.'
Victoria opened her texts by simply saying: 'Happy Valentine's Day'.
But she explained to FEMAIL that it was merely a coincidence that she got the idea to text her old flames on the romantic occasion.
'My friend encouraged me to do it, as a joke. I sent her the screen shots after I sent the Valentine's Day message and that was a joke enough for us,' she recalled.
'I set down my phone and wasn't expecting any texts back. Eventually my phone started buzzing and you know the rest. I was absolutely blow away by the results.'
I didn't find this funny but I did find it interesting. At first I wished I'd thought of it but then I realized this only works if you're a chick. I probably have just as many random contacts in my phone from girls I met out at a bar who gave me their number as a courtesy and never talked to me again. If I were to cast a net that wide on Valentine's Day it might yield one or two responses out of civility. Like 'you too!' or 'thanks!'. On the other side, guys don't give girls their number as a courtesy. When a dude gives you his number that is a lifetime invitation to hookup. That's why we don't delete those numbers. You may have gotten a "Hey, who's this?" but we know exactly who you are. If we really didn't have your number saved we'd pretend like we did and try to inveigle context clues out of you until we figured it out. So don't give me that bullshit about not expecting any texts back Victoria. You're not stupid. You know how the world works. If Stacy McSorley's decides to randomly text me on Valentine's Day I'm going to look at that as a second shot at glory. We're either going to rekindle that flame or you're going to have to change your number.
