I tried to find my future husband by taking to the streets with a bold sign – I was swept off my feet
In the age of online dating, it can feel like you’re in an endless whirlwind of swiping on potential candidates in the hopes of connecting with at least one candidate.
But now, a woman tired of the endless swiping of online dating took to the streets of New York City with a rom-com approach — and she may have found it.
Karolina Getis, 29, who found dating apps a waste of time, decided to take matters into her own hands by walking around the Big Apple with a sign that read: “Looking for a husband.”
The model sparked a range of emotions, from laughter to intrigue, as she paraded her sign in a stylish multi-colored top and jeans on September 4.
In the TikTok video shows one man with a Cheshire cat grin waving at the influencer, while another was dragged away by his partner.

But as daring as Ms Getis’ methods are, they haven’t been in vain as she revealed she’s still in touch with a man who literally swept her off her feet.
She said The independent: ‘A man at the end saw the sign and came to pick me up.’
‘I’m in contact with him now and we’re talking – we’ll see what happens in the future.’
Ms Getis said re-watching spectators’ reactions is the funniest part of the stunt, which she has done several times.
She explained that she doesn’t witness the looks on people’s faces firsthand because her view is obscured by the sign.
The New York model explained why she made the bold move, saying that people’s reactions were overwhelmingly positive.
She said she “loves doing it” because it helps her “get out of her comfort zone.”
The adventurous idea came to the 29-year-old after a conversation about dating apps with her friends, in which she touched on how “difficult” forming a connection is these days.
She then joked with friends that she would venture out into the street with the sign, which she has now done in several videos.

However, the model doesn’t just take to the streets of the big American city in an attempt to find love.
She has previously strolled the Big Apple with her trusty mark to snag numerous items, including cash for Cartier and Chanel.
She said, “If you ask right, everything will come to you and if you need anything, all you have to do is give a sign.”
The TikToker also revealed that displaying the sign saying she needed money for Chanel outside the luxury store was her favorite stunt.
She admitted that the public gave her money to buy items from the luxury designer brand.
She revealed that she is using the money to save up for Chanel and a Birkin bag.
