Read this romance that started with “call this number if you’re looking for a slag” from a loo wall

This extract from Reality magazine is a great read and who says romance is dead?

Wooed from the loo

One evening I got a text from an unknown number… What are you up to right now? it read.

At first I thought this was my ex stalking me again. Who is this? I wrote.

But the replies turned saucy – filthy even.

Was it a mate having a joke? Then the person came clean, texting: Someone wrote: “Call this number if you’re looking for a slag” in a pub loo.

I felt sick. My ex must have written it. As for this mystery texter… well. I can’t explain it bit I’d started to look forward to his sexy texts. Then he called me. “I’m Mark” he said, “I know it’s a bit strange but I’d love to meet you.”

OK” I said.

Next day as I waited in in town, a middle-aged man came towards me. That can’t be him, I thought. Then I realised I’d never asked his age.

Despite the gap we hit it off and arranged to see each other again.

Love blossomed. Seven years and two children later, we’re happily engaged. AS unromantic as it sounds I’m so happy Mark responded to the graffiti in the loo that day!
