Not quite but I once received a perfectly innocent mis-directed text, reading something like,
"Hello Sue. See you Saturday 10am. Mary"
On the basis that it could be important I tapped back,
"Sorry Mary, I'm a [Arish] not a Sue. : -)" (Smiley broken to keep original form.)
Mary replied, apologising for bothering me. Taking the risk I shot back,
"No problem thank you. You can bother me any time!"
This started about 3 weeks of occasional, mild flirting which also showed she is married and lived about 200 miles away. Mary started becoming a bit fruity, and asked for a photo.
"Sorry Mary - this phone can't take or receive photos." Which was true.
A pause, then, "How do you expect to meet anyone?"
My pause now, floored by this odd question. "Err, same as people have always met I suppose. Mainly by chance"
I didn't hear from Mary again... :-(
