When a student posted a note on Facebook post saying she was looking for a boyfriend, she expected a few wisecracks in response to her online 'joke'.

But one potential suitor appeared to take the invitation very seriously - or perhaps wickedly tongue-in-cheek - when he slipped an application for the 'position' of boyfriend under her dorm room door.

Far from trying to woo the young woman with romance, the neatly-typed note reads precisely like a covering letter for a job application - with hilarious results.


It's hardly a love letter: The neatly-typed note reads exactly like a covering letter for a job application

n the comical letter, which was published on Imgur, the hopeful 'applicant' tries to win over the young woman by boasting of his 'skills' such as cuddling, a tolerance for shopping, the ability to 'really listen' and oral sex.

And he ends the application with the phrase: 'I certainly hope to have an opportunity to work with you, your friends and your family.'

The woman in question posted the letter on the online image gallery Imgur - and has received a variety of responses to the application, with some urging her to go out with him.

In, he wrote: 'I am writing to you in regard to the position of boyfriend.
The student said she put the post on Facebook 'as a joke' but was stunned when she got the letter
