De Bruyne said, “I didn’t have a lover at the time, and my friend noticed that. Then he said, ‘This girl looks pretty. You should text her.’ I immediately replied, ‘No, no, no. Come on. No one likes me. She won’t answer.’”
De Bruyne’s friend then grabbed his phone and composed his own message, showed it to De Bruyne, and asked if he would send it. “I was sitting on the floor, cowering, and somehow I said OK. Thank goodness she answered the message.”
