A single wA woman looking for a partner has revealed how she created a personalized stamp to hand out to men in bars – and claims it’s a great way to break the ice.
Michelle Arshad, 24, who lives in Toronto, Canada, came up with the idea with her sister and best friend, both 23 years old.
The trio purchased $22 worth of custom stamps at Vistaprint before composing a message with their contact information.
Michelle, who works in finance, included her Instagram account before adding a message that read: ‘You are cute and I am cute. You should contact me if you are single.

Michelle explained that it was easier for her to hit on a boy she liked than to try to strike up a conversation.
“We’re all a little bit introverted. We thought, ‘Let’s get a label.’ It’s easier than making eye contact. It’s a nice little icebreaker,” she shared.
Michelle thought of the idea in 2022 after seeing other girls making bracelets with their numbers and giving them to guys in bars.
She said: ‘We ordered from Vistaprint. It cost $22 for 5,000 uses.’
And the friends then put their seals to the test.
Michelle shared, “We were asking a guy ‘can you shake our hand?'”
‘They said: “What are you going to do to us?” We’d put a stamp on it and they’d say, “I see what this is.”
Although the stamp didn’t work out for Michelle, who has since met her boyfriend, 25, at the gym, she said her friend got a drink thanks to the stamp.

She said: “Others were like, ‘Oh my God, what if my boyfriend comes home with this stamp?’
‘If you don’t do anything, what’s the problem? A lot of girls were tagging their friends and saying “we should do this.”
If Michelle were single, she said she would get the “100 percent” stamp again.
‘It’s hard to approach someone randomly. It’s an easier way to talk to people and get closer to people.
‘Before I didn’t really get close to anyone. It was an excuse to spread my wings and talk to people.’
