Tired of dating apps and the myriad ways virtual communications kill off real-life romance?<\/p>\n
Rather than continuing to dejectedly swipe with no success, Karolina Getis decided to do something about her frustration with virtual matchmaking, taking matters quite literally into her own hands.<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old said she no longer wanted to \u2018waste time on dating apps\u2019, and had joked with friends that she\u2019d rather stand on the street with a sign than go through the rigmarole of meeting a partner online.<\/p>\n
Yet the idea struck a chord with Karolina, and she made a plan to turn her quip into a reality with with a placard that showed off her single status.<\/p>\n
The model hit the streets of New York City earlier this month holding a cardboard sign which read \u2018looking for a husband\u2019.<\/p>\n
It also featured her Instagram handle, so any interested parties could contact her on social media if they weren\u2019t brave enough to do so in person.<\/p>\n

Karolina received all sorts of attention through pulling the stunt, with onlookers smiling and taking photos.<\/p>\n
One man was even dragged away by his partner after staring a little too long at the inventive singleton, who has previously done similar with signs bearing slogans like \u2018need money for Chanel.\u2019<\/p>\n

The daring attitude paid off, too, as Karolina was swept off her feet by someone who she\u2019s kept in contact with since.<\/p>\n
The influencer said: \u2018One guy at the end saw the sign and came and picked me up \u2013 I\u2019m now in touch with him and we\u2019re chatting with each other.<\/p>\n
\u2018We\u2019ll see what happens in the future. At the moment we are just talking.\u2019<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Speaking about her bold approach for getting what she wants, Karolina added: \u2018These things give me so much energy and people\u2019s reactions are always positive \u2013 I love doing it.<\/p>\n
\u2018I do it to get out of my comfort zone \u2013 people were in shock on the street but always saying \u201cgo girl, find your husband\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2018The funniest thing is when I am doing it, I\u2019m usually I\u2019m holding the sign and I don\u2019t see the reactions until my videographer shows me.\u2019<\/p>\n
After the Chanel sign was a success, landing her a pot of cash which she plans to spend on a designer handbag from the brand, she\u2019s a big advocate for the unique method.<\/p>\n
\u2018If you ask correctly, everything will come to you,\u2019 said Karoline. \u2018And if you need something just make a sign.\u2019<\/p>\n
