Michelle Arendas and Josh Avsec are two college students who attend Kent State University. They matched on Tinder in 2014, but three years later they still hadn’t met up in real life.
Recently, Avsec tweeted out the pair’s funny Tinder conversations on Twitter, which shows how long it takes them to get back to each other:
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

In Buzzfeed interview, Arendas said it took her so long to get back to Avsec because she would often delete the dating app and miss messages.
“I didn’t think she was interested,” Avsec said. “I just took it as a joke, so every couple of months I’d check Tinder and I’d get a message.”
But as Avsec’s tweet about their messages started going viral, someone tagged Arendas and she decided to tweet back at him:
sorry I'd reply but I need to give it a few months !

Josh quickly replied:
Wow? This is single handedly the coolest thing twitter has ever done for me. Be sure to check your DMs sometime at the end of August.

Josh and Michelle exchanged numbers during this time and started talking on the phone. Just then, Tinder caught wind of the exchange and offered up something special for the distant match!
It’s time you got together IRL. You have 24 hrs to decide the city you want to have your first date in and we’ll send you there! @mch_rnd https://t.co/7r2JQtcxKC

The pair didn’t wait months or years to reply to Tinder however…
After a long debate over your unbelievably generous offer, our dream first-date would be in Hawaii. Meet you in Maui?? @mch_rnd
— Josh Avsec (@Wes_03) July 11, 2017
Tinder responded quickly…
Aloha! We're sending you to Maui but you can't take two years to pack your bags! ?️

Tinder then tweeted…’Good things come to those who wait’.
According to Buzzfeed, the couple doesn’t want to rush anything and will meet up prior to the trip!
Hopefully these two live happily ever after!
