Singer sells hand-holding dates for €2k
CLASSICALLY-TRAINED singer Anthony O’flaherty is renting himself out for Valentine’s Day.
Prices start from €200 for the one-hour “friend zone” to €2,000 for a three-hour date and unlimited hand-holding.
The 57-year-old civil servant said yesterday he was expecting “an avalanche” of requests after putting himself on social media offering four separate packages.
For €200, companionless ladies can get the “friend zone” which is one hour of “basic hanging out”.
The “innocent romance” package for €350 includes a “one hour walk along the beach or in the park. Hand holding in private only. No photos”.
Anthony says that for €800, lovelorn ladies can get the “we’re almost official package” – a two-hour evening date, including a meal or ice cream up to the value of €100.
LAUGH
This includes public handholding and private kiss goodnight “without tongue”. An extra €50 will allow him to pose for an Instagram pic.
And for a cool €2,000, investors in love will receive a three-hour date, dinner and movie with CDS, chocolates, unlimited hand-holding and a kiss goodnight.
Anthony, who is originally from Bradford in England, hasn’t had any offers yet, after posting on several community pages but was yesterday expecting a late rush on his services.
He admitted that the tonguein-cheek post is being taken in the good spirit it was meant.
He said: “It’s all a bit of craic really. Some people go over the top for Valentine’s Day while others can find it very lonely. I just wanted to lighten the mood a bit and give people something to laugh about.”
He added: “Being a classically trained singer, a serenade could even be in the offing for those with generous tips and short coughs.”
