Here’s a story you don’t see every day. Brit David Brown, 24, was out one night with friends living the typical life of an early to mid-20s male. That night, a phone number ran through his head constantly throughout his dreams. The next morning he did what a large portion of us guys would probably do, text it. The message was short and simple: “Did I meet you last night?”

Michelle Kitson, the random recipient on the other end, was initially confused and hesitant, but after some reluctance she decided to reply and the two began exchanging text messages. After some time, they met, fell in love, and are now married.

“It was really weird but I was absolutely hooked,” Kitson told the Daily Mail newspaper. “My mum and dad kept saying ‘But he could be an axe murderer’, but I knew there was something special about it.”

When Brown was asked about the origin of the number he couldn’t get out of his head he responded with:

“I’ve no idea how I ended up with her number in my head - it’s only a few digits different from mine.”

To all you texters out there, of which there are millions, beware! You never know who might be on the receiving end…
