And what makes love so magical is that the spark with the other person is either there or not. You can have a relationship, but that lightning bolt, the love of a Hallmark Christmas movie, sure exists for some people, but defies all logic.

There’s that person who knows how to say and do all the things that turn you into a cartoon character that as soon as you smell the pie on the window sill you start hovering towards it, and they’re all about you But how likely are you to actually meet that person in your life? Slim.

Judging by the second photo Hal attached to the tweet, it looks like Hal has already looked up this woman’s number and systematically mapped out all possible combinations.

Hal’s tweet turned out to reach Jackie, who DMed him on Twitter. Hal tried to save his cousin’s heartache to get her phone number, but it’s unclear if she decided to dig caves or stick to guns to get him to figure it out.

One diligent detective pointed out that the asterisk symbol is an alternate character for the keyboard’s 8 key, suggesting that this combination may be the key to her phone number.

Women are said to be hard to come by because men like ‘chasing’ and we shouldn’t be ‘easy’. I do not understand.

Perhaps Hal should have at least blocked the area code for that number. You may be forced to change.
