A woman searching for Mr Right got a stamp with her details on to approach men at bars - and says it was a great "icebreaker"."

Michelle Arshad, 24, came up with the idea with her sister and her friend, both 23.

The trio bought $30 personalised stamps on Vistaprint with Michelle's reading - 'you're cute and I'm cute. You should hit me up if you're single'.

Michelle also left her Instagram handles for guys to then direct message her the next day.

She says she found it was easier to stamp a guy she fancied than trying to make eye contact to strike up a conversation.

Michelle, who works in finance, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, said: "We're all a bit introverted."

"We thought 'let's get a stamp'."

"It's easier than making eye contact."

"It's a nice little icebreaker."

Michelle thought of the idea in 2022 after seeing other girls make bracelets with their numbers on - and handing them out to guys in bars.

She said: "We ordered off Vistaprint. It was $30 Canadian dollars for 5,000 uses."

The friends then put their stamps to the test.

Michelle said: "We'd ask a guy 'can you give us your hand?'"

"They'd say 'what are you going to do to us? We'd stamp him and they'd say 'I see what this is now'."

Although the stamp didn't work for Michelle - who met her boyfriend, 25, at the gym - she said her friend did end up getting a drink bought for her because of the stamp.

Michelle shared her stamp on TikTok and said many girls replied tagging their mates to steal the idea.

She said: "Others were like 'OMG what if my boyfriend comes home with this stamp?'"

"If he doesn't do anything what's the problem?"

"A lot of girls were tagging friends and said ' we should get this'."

If Michelle was single she said she would "100%" get the stamp out again."

She said: "It's hard going up to someone random."

"It's an easier way of talking to people and approaching people."

"Before I wouldn't really approach anyone."

"It was an excuse to spread my wings and talk to people."
