Things aren't what they used to be when it comes to dating. The days of meeting a girl at a bar, buying her a drink, dancing, flirting and then maybe simply asking for her number - yeah, those days are over. To even get to the point of sitting face to face with a lady now takes some SERIOUS skill and prowess.

If you manage to make it through her and her girlfriends scrutinising your profile photos and deciding she may indeed 'swipe right', you then have to word-smith your way through text conversations via an online dating platform (and her screen-shotting these conversations and sending to the same aforementioned friends) before a girl even considers giving you her ACTUAL phone number. This guy, though. This guy has it down.

Lads, listen up. If you want to get a girl's number on Tinder, drop the sleazy pick-up lines and take a page from this guy's 'choose your own adventure' book.

It all starts with a duck

She seems into it...

Ok, she's loving this!

...and JUST. LIKE. THAT! He does it!

The internet erupted with praise!

We love the idea of 'quack' as the opening text.

Of course, some skeptics

Like always, not EVERYONE loved the duck idea, but overall, we think he did pretty well.
