The Tinder couple who went viral on Twitter finally had their first meeting in real life.
After three years of messaging, Josh Avsec tweeted a screenshot of a Tinder conversation with Michelle Arendas, which showed them replying to each other months apart.
Hahahaha one day I'm going to meet this girl and it's going to be epic. Look at the dates of our tinder texts. pic.twitter.com/DASQK4c5cX

The two kept the conversation going like this for three years, as a joke, but ended up having their first date set up by Tinder after their story went viral.
This is like some sort of dream. A date in Hawaii is far more epic than I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much! https://t.co/gQD8QffLKq
