image Forget the traditional Valentine’s Day card – millions of lovelorn Brits will be texting their heartfelt emotions this Thursday, February 14.

A stunning 120 million Valentine’s text messages were sent last year, compared to just 12 million Valentine’s cards* – and mobile network 3 predicts the nation will be expressing its love and hidden desires via texting in equal numbers yet again this year.

So to help, 3 customers have identified the best AND worst Valentine text chat-up lines:

Top 5 Best Valentine’s Texts:

  1. I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I sure can make your bed rock
  2. If you were a burger at McDonald’s, you’d be a McGorgeous
  3. You’re like a parking ticket, you’ve got fine written all over you
  4. You might not be Miss Right, but how about being Miss Right Now?
  5. What’s a nice girl like you doing in a dirty mind like mine?

Top 5 Valentine’s Text Turn Offs:

  1. Words alone aren’t enough to describe how amazing you are
  2. If I could rearrange the alphabet I’d put U and I together
  3. Did it hurt when you fell down from heaven?
  4. Is that a ladder in your tights or a stairway to heaven?
  5. Is your name Gillette because you’re the best a man can get?

John Penberthy-Smith, 3’s Marketing Director, said: ‘There’s a whole nation of romantics desperate to hit the right note when texting their loved ones – and it’s vital you get your Valentine’s text right, rather than sending a love turn-off.  ‘Although for the TRUE romantics among us, nothing can compete with a simple I Love You.’

This year, anyone on the 3 network can also send a digital Valentine’s Card straight from their mobile using the FunText service: simply visit Planet 3 on your handset, then choose Services, Communicate and Messaging – and FunText provides the option to personalise a number of colourful images, from traditional Valentine’s messages to cheeky love images.

    Well, I thought the list was bass-ackwards.
    The worst were best, and vice-versa to me.

    Romantic? They all sound like pickup lines to me.
