A love struck man who was determined to track down a girl he'd hit it off with in a bar went to great lengths to find her, and has unexpectedly helped people make new friends in the process.
University of Calgary student Carlos Zetina hit it off with a woman called Nicole, but when he realised she'd given him the wrong phone number, he was determined not to let her get away.
According to the Daily Mail, he emailed 247 women called Nicoles or with variations on the name in the Canadian university's directory, writing: 'If your name is Nicole and you're from Holland and you think Nietschze is depressing then text me.'
The Nicole's started emailing back and forth and one even set up a "Nicole from last night" Facebook group to aid the search, and more than a dozen of them even met up at a bar the following day.
Carlos' efforts have paid off as the real Nicole has been located and they are planning to meet soon, as it turns out she gave him the wrong phone number by accident.
