Strangers Who’ve Kept Hilarious Tinder Conversation For 3 Years Finally Meet And It’s Adorable

ADVERTISEMENT

Recently we brought you the incredible story of Josh Avsec and Michelle Arendas, two seniors from Ohio Kent State University who, despite talking to each other on the Tinder app for the last three years, have never actually met. Their story went viral after Josh shared screenshots of their Tinder chat on Twitter, and eventually, even the dating app itself got involved, offering to send them both to Maui for their very first perfect date together. Well now the two perfect strangers have finally met, not over an intimate drink or a candlelit dinner, but on Good Morning America in front of an audience of millions!

“This is a dream come true,’ said Josh after meeting Michelle for the very first time. “I can’t believe I’m seeing her right now.” Arendas felt the same, adding that the whole experience “has been unreal.” They both seemed to get along great on the show, so let’s just hope it’s love at first sight and their chemistry continues on their upcoming trip to Hawaii. The world is watching guys! No pressure or anything.

Not gonna lie. They started looking more and more alike and seemed more basic. They were much more interesting before I heard them speak...

I feel like they're going to feel obligated to get together, since others have stepped in so much. I don't know. I think it could be bad for them. Hope everything works out well.

Don't worry. In a few weeks no one will be talking about them anymore. Things work like that nowadays and it is a good thing.

"Incredible story"... Seriously? I'm all for a cute romance, but the media involvement makes this totally cringeworthy. Slow news day indeed.
