A handsome Australian man’s public appeal for help finding a place for him and his beloved dog to live has been overwhelmed by the response from his swooning fans.
Jonathon Eaton, 30, posted on a Gold Coast rentals Facebook page that he was moving interstate for work and was “bringing my best friend with me”.
“Wolfie is a very calm, super calm and friendly one-year-old German Shepherd – it’s actually impossible not to love her,” she wrote.
‘I’m very relaxed. I like watching football, training in the gym but also having a beer and socializing from time to time.’
But Eaton, who captioned the post with two photos of himself with Wolfie, told Daily Mail Australia he didn’t get the response he expected after many women, some from overseas, commented on his appearance.
“How cute,” one wrote.
Another added: “If you want to be my roommate in America, let me know.”
A third joked: “I’m moving to the Gold Coast, bye.”
Jonathon Eaton (pictured), posted in a local Facebook group that he was looking for a place to live, but was surprised by the response: many women commented on his appearance and tagged their single friends.
But it was the civil technician’s girlfriend, Sophie, who really wrote the post (in the photo of the couple)
Many comments were filled with love heart emojis and some tagged their single friends and asked them things like “do you have room in your bed, is it a queen?”
But the civilian technician said that while he found the response “unexpected,” he thought it was “hilarious,” mainly for one reason.
“It’s funny because my girlfriend wrote the post,” he said.
“We’ve been laughing about it ever since.”
The Sydneysider said his girlfriend Sophie had urged him to post because she needed to find a place to live before November 15.
‘It was just an innocent little approach. “We have to move there next week, so we posted it,” he said.
“But since then, it’s been chaos.”
Eaton was surprised when he reviewed the post, because he doesn’t receive notifications from Messenger or Facebook and had no idea “it all became silly.”
The civil technician (pictured with his dog Wolfie) has to move to the Gold Coast for work and the accommodation search post attracted not only places to rent but also 300 friend requests from around the world.
The couple (pictured) had a good laugh at the post which helped Mr Eaton find a place to live.
“I have received 300 friend requests, also from abroad,” he said.
“It’s really fun.”
And for the women getting their hopes up about why Mr Eaton’s girlfriend won’t be moving to the Gold Coast with him and Wolfie: she’ll be joining him there at a later date.
And despite how “crazy” the response has been, the civil technician said that the publication was useful.
Although there are some properties he likes, he will “probably choose” one that a man mentioned to him within the first hour of posting.
“And I’ve also received nice, genuine messages.”
Even though Mr. Eaton’s friends began to notice the post and mock him, he decided not to delete it.
“I really wanted to delete it, but Sophie said, ‘you should keep it, it’s so funny,'” he said.
