Poor Steve! Paddy Power Has Spent All Day Torturing Some Poor Fella Who Thinks He’s Met The Girl Of His Dreams

Saturday morning is peak time for following up on any cheeky encounters that may have happened the night before and that is exactly what a fella called Steve decided to do this morning. Our mysterious Romeo decided to drop a text to a girl called Jess, who he met last night in Dicey's but unfortunately, he sent it to the wrong number and it landed in the lap of one of the moderators of the Paddy Power Twitter account. The whole debacle has played out in front of the bookmaker's 393,000 followers, as Paddy Power have led poor Steve to believe that he chatting to a very flirtatious lady that  is definitely keen on meeting up again. While many are joining in the banter, a fringe movement has now been launched by the Going Out Belfast account, who are urging PP to #TellSteve. Here's how it all played out!

Well this day just got interesting, potentially. I've just received a text that wasn't meant for me. Give me a sec and I'll show you. — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

Right, I've blocked out Steve's number because I'm sound that way. Help me out Twitter, what do I reply? pic.twitter.com/dysztl8Utf — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

Here's my reply folks. I've decided to be feminine and also use a little bit of text speak. Now we wait. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/AsuQqwGPEE — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

This lad's keen. Only waited 8 minutes before replying. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/m2hK1257l7 — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

Alright, here's my reply. Played it safe. Gave a double kiss though, stepping it up. We wait. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/YbSFWWWlow — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

STEVE'S TYPING! #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/bQ3ECEXTxM — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

It's been 12 minutes and still no reply from Steve. He's slacking. In the comfort zone already. #PPTexts — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

He's gotten on board with the double kisses! It's on, folks. What do I reply? #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/OFHkBndQCI — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

Alright. Cheeky Paddy and Soccer Saturday reference. Wink face, but just one kiss. Mind games. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/YCAqCy4Yi9 — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

I'm gonna need your help replying to this one folks. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/1q6Db8m3Q3 — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

Breaks my heart, but in the interests of authenticity, I'm making an intentional mistake in my reply. 'Your' instead of 'you're'. #PPTexts — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

Alright. Intentional grammatical error and three kisses. And a suggestive invitation. Come on Steve! #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/cCPbvKSWgn — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

Very disappointing on the kisses front. Think I'll have to be busy tomorrow so. Thoughts? #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/vkY6s24yN4 — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

Repeat of the intentional grammar error. Stone Cold Steve Austin reference. Uncle Paddy again. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/VPaD99SyiX — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

I'm starting to quite like Steve. He seems like a decent fella. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/mC7LCeXyEL — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

Pretty happy with this response. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/rE8yfW7weQ — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

So Steve keeps himself fit. Good to know. #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/ZIMM4EwFYI — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014

 

Kept it simple on my reply. Gonna take this opportunity to get dinner. I'll update when he replies! #PPTexts pic.twitter.com/IlZqj8DM1s — Paddy Power (@paddypower) August 9, 2014
