UPDATE: This Irish guy has actually found the mystery girl he met at Electric Picnic

There have been some interesting developments with this story and everyone in the JOE office is on tenterhooks…

There’s nothing as crushing as the potential of what might have been. The fleeting glance, the brushed hands… With this in mind we’ve teamed up with Vhi Dental to reach out to anyone who might have a love interest and created the Vhi Friday Flirt.

We put out this call and a young man named Eoin wrote in with the following

Hi,

So I met a girl I really fancied at Electric Picnic. It was about 3.30am, I was lost. She and her friend were staying in the camper van site, as was I. They walked me back to the camper van site and asked me to join them for a drink. I stupidly thought I’d see her again on the Sunday. But between the rain and catching up with friends I never saw her again.

I’m gutted, I was pretty drunk at the time….

We’ve all been there, mate.

Anyway, we put the word around and waited and waited and waited and waited and….

A bit of time went by and we were convinced that true love didn’t exist…. when we heard the ping of Cupid’s arrow in our inbox. Well, actually it was just an email coming through. Eoin’s elusive lady has been in touch and we’re happy to report that they’ve since made contact with one another.

Who knows what will happen next? Maybe true love? Maybe the incredibly awkward relaisation that they’re second cousin? Whatever the result, we’re on a match matching roll.

If there’s anyone else out there who met someone only to lose them just as quickly, do please get in touch with the Vhi Friday Flirt team via [email protected] and avoid a future like this…
