Josh and Michelle’s surreal love story on Tinder
Anyone else might have thought that after the match what happened was that she made him ghosting, but Michelle sent him a funny excuse that lit the flame: Hey, I’m sorry. My phone died! And boy did it die, it ran out of battery for two months… But Josh was amused and continued with the joke. “Wow, you found it very quickly. It usually takes me about five months to find the charger”, “Yes, I wanted to make sure it was fully charged, 0 to 100 has been very slow”, Michelle would reply.
And silence again. Months later, Josh would reply, “Sorry, I was in the shower.” We can’t help but laugh when we read the story again. For a time they kept up this particular joke and talking every two or three months. The situation was so surreal that Josh, amused, shared a screenshot on his Twitter account with the text “Hahahaha one day I’m going to meet this girl and she’s going to be epic. Look at the dates of our texts on Tinder.” It was July 8, 2017. They had spent 3 years talking on Tinder.
30.5 thousand Retweets and 102.7 thousand likes. The repercussion was such that it reached the ears of Tinder that he decided to take action on the matter and responded to his thread by offering them a trip so they could meet in person. “It’s time for you to meet in real life. You have 24 hours to decide the city you want to have your first date in and we’ll send you there!”
The chosen site: Hawaii. “We’re sending you to Maui… But you can’t take two years to pack your bags!” Tinder replied, amused. “My only expectation is to enjoy our trip and enjoy getting to know each other. I can’t wait to be at the beach,” Josh would reply.
But the people of the program Good Morning America he couldn’t wait that long and decided to put them together in the program for them to meet. The moment is epic to say the least, and genuine fun can be seen in their smiles.
They met and here comes the beauty of this story: they are still together. We know this thanks to the fact that Mike Fajardo has made this story viral again on TikTok and it seems that this match was one of the good ones.
